    UI Design Course

    I started my course in Jan 2021 and 6 months in, I can say that I have learned a lot! 

    My favourite things about the course:
    - The curriculum is well defined and structured. Each topic is explained clearly, with context and examples. When using tools, you will have a tutorial to follow on the side
    - Tutor + Mentor feature is helping me progress and understand more than what it’s explained in the course. Moreover, I get repeated feedback, support and help with whatever hurdle...

    UX Design Programme

    I started the Intro to UX Design course with CareerFoundry in February and continued full-time with the UX Immersion thereafter. Ever since I began, I have really loved the course content and enjoy how it is laid out in a way that I can progress at my own pace with the great support of my tutor, mentor, and student advisors. It's great to be using the course content and putting what I've learned into practice all the time with the course project. It goes from one steady step to the next ...

    My Experience at CareerFoundry

    I made the difficult decision to leave my job and embark on a career change into UX design with Career Foundry. I was initially unsure which program to enroll in, but I ultimately chose CF because of its affordable price, compared to other Bootcamps on the market. The best part of the program is the access you get to professional mentors and your career mentor. I found the career mentor to be especially helpful as I began my job search. Five months after starting the program, I landed a ...

    UX course

    Honestly, this course deserves full marks in every category. I was skeptical at first, but once I started on my first day and was able to interact with others, check the curriculum and even jump into the course - I loved it. You are supported every step of the way and the tutor, mentors and specialist genuinely help you and go overboard to make sure you are confident and ready for the professional life. I would 100% recommend it (and actually have been since I started haha)

    Excellent Program, Mentors and Tutors

    I am really impressed and extremely satisfied with CareerFoundry's UI Design Program. My course was divided into 6 Achievements with an average of 9 exercises per module, and from the start I could already notice that I would be learning real and relevant skills. 

    The course is planned in a way that each exercise gives you a theory lesson plus a task to practice the theory you've just learned. This gives the student a sense of moving up and evolving throughout the course and also ...

    I'm currently doing the UI Design Program at CareerFoundry and am very happy with it!

    The courses are clear and very well documented. The best part is having a tutor and a mentor supporting you throughout your journey and their insights on the working world are priceless.

    I would highly recommend CareerFoundry to anyone redirecting their careers towards UI or UX Design.

    Good Introductory Course

    This is a good course for introduction to UX Design. I will say that the initial sets of assessments were very basic and a little bit frustrating to have to go through as I did not feel they taught me anything.  In the end though, it is a good course.  I feel that it would benefit from more videos and some instruction on how to use the platforms that they are telling you to use for the boot camp's deliverables.

    Best way to change your career path

    I was looking for a new path in my career. I studied fashion design but I have always been interested in research and to apply design to find solutions. I found career foundry when I was looking for new options and I decided to study with them because of the support of your mentors and Tutors, it’s easier to make an important change if you are supported by professional people.

    If you work hard, CF will work hard to help you succeed

    Brilliant school, it offers a lot. If you have have the time to use all it offers you can do brilliantly. It’s platform is well done, it encourages you to keep going, by splitting the course into manageable bits. The job preparation course is what really makes the course stand out for me, in the end you want a job, and just some nice portfolio case studies most likely doesn’t get you the job you want. The profile prep, interview prep and guide on the job journey is totally worth the mone...

    Web development course review

    I am enrolled in the CareerFoundry Web development course, and honestly can say that so far it has been a very good experience. There are loads of links to additional reading and materials, and the course content itself is very good. I love the fact that you get assigned a tutor and a mentor and you have a community that can reach out to. The course itself is quite intense as well and covers a lot of aspects of web development.
