    UI Design Course - Great Online Program

    I'm currently taking the UI Design course and I'm about 75% complete. The program is structured well, and although very self-guided, I like how the program sets tasks and shows you your progress towards course completion. Very helpful for me to stay on track and finish at the desired end date. As someone who is working full-time in another industry, this course works well for me because I can do readings and assignments all on my own time. I particularly like the Job Prep Course which is...

    UX Design

    I was very skeptical at first about the boot camp but I’ve learned a lot about UX. I have looked at multiple boot camps and I found that CareerFoundry is the best. Mentors are amazing. Curriculum is very hands on. You read a task then you instantly implement what you’ve read. Furthermore, tutors are very friendly. Also the career specialist is also going above and beyond. I don’t regret it one bit. If you get the chance. Join this one. Do your research and you’ll end up back to CareerFou...

    UX Design course

    CareerFoundry UX desgin course is capable of consistently introduce the field even to a complete newcommer. The fact that the course is project based is a hudge adventage, allowing to make a foundation of your portfolio while recieveing feedback from an industry specialist. The curriculum itself is is supreficial on some topics, therefore digging deeper into the topic with your mentor and tutor is required in order to find additional sources.

    I did a lot of research and comparison before I enrolled the online boot camp for UX design. After reading a lot of information, I realised most of the guides I found are in Careerfoundry blogs. They are very helpful and I am glad I made the right choice! 
    I have a full time job and am doing part time with the courses. Now I am on immersion courses. It took me around 6 months so far. I will start to look for a career in UX design field. Finger crossed!

    I'm so glad I made the decision to study the UI design course. I was a freelance graphic designer with no real focus on where my creative career was heading.

    Disappointing Program

    I recently graduated from this program, but it turned out to be highly disappointing for a number of reasons: the text is outdated and includes some incorrect information, inadequate focus on the latest tools and technologies for wireframing and prototyping, discrepancies between suggested examples and assignments, and a drive towards mandatory live usability-testing through recorded video sessions using 6 or more volunteers at a short notice, or by using paid testers at various monetizi...

    Best VUI course in the market

    This is the best VUI course in the market. Content and exercises are very well thought. The level of exigency is high, so don't expect to approve it without investing time or effort. The help, support and guidance provided by my teacher Ryuka was remarkable. The only improvement I will suggest is to increase the amount of mentorships. I just had 3 mentorships what is not ideal considering the extend of the course.

    Fantastic Course! Intro to Data Analytics

    I spent some time comparing programs before finally deciding to take this course with CareerFoundry. My background is not tech related, and I was looking for a introductory course that went beyond the basics. This course did just that! It moves quickly and there’s an abundance of information to take it! Starting with no experience was intimidating, but platform was very easy to use. It was also very affordable and provided lots of extra resources for learning.  If you’re considering a ca...

    It was a great program and I would pay for it again.

    You have access to your mentor, tutor and whole CF student team anytime needed.  They would always get back to me within 24 hours.

    I love that you have lifetime access to the other programs to read over and do the tasks as your own pace too.  Bummer no one reviews the tasks but totally understandable.

    I just finished my UX course and have a few things to say:
    Overall the course is comprehensive and interesting. The course is written in an interesting and easy to understand way. And the examples help tremendously with the assignments. 
    My only critique would be that there is a big difference between your tutor and mentor. My mentor (at the end of each module) always made me make big adjustments whilst my tutor almost always just said “GREAT” and approved the assignment. This beca...

    UX Design Program

    An intensive course with lots of helpful information provided. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting an introduction to UX Design, although I'd allow more than the estimated/recommended times for most modules, especially if english is not your native language. It is a concept heavy course and you will need to learn a lot of new software if you've never done design or digital presentation before.
