    UX Introduction Course & UX Immersion Course

    Students sign up for the UX immersion course and are enrolled in the 4-week introduction course before they start the immersion course. The introduction course throws students into the entire UX design process so that students get an overview of the entire process before the immersion starts. The immersion program starts off very slow and picks up after going through the history of UX. The company promises a job guarantee, and there is some confusion about the details of the guarantee.

    UX Design Course

    I am attending UX Design Course at CareerFoundry. This a hands-on course based on learn-by-application approach. This course is separated in 3 parts, first is Intro, second Immersion and third is Specialisation, there is also mentorship and tutoring provided as well as vast student community. I am in Immersion part now and so far I am pretty pleased with it. 
    But, there is some room for improvement, here's what I've noticed:

    My Experience So Far…

    My experience at CareerFoundry has been good so far. Because this is an online course, it requires a lot of discipline, hard work from students, and can feel isolating.

    CF is very organized as course materials are easily accessible and follow. Exercises are simple, but sometimes too simple, where it doesn’t explain the subject well enough for you to fully understand.

    Not everything that you need to learn will be taught by CF, like design software, so you’ll have to learn on...

    CareerFoundry - UX Design Course Review

    Simply put, CareerFoundry's UX Design course is a great way to build a solid foundation in User Experience Design. Having recently graduated university with a degree unrelated to UX, I had a desire to learn the fundamentals and the CareerFoundry course has made me feel like I'm learning the necessary skills and becoming equipped with the tools needed to enter the industry.

    Ux Design course

    The course is well structured but could improve on certain aspects:
    • the first trial period or BootCamp is too fast to make a good work out of it. You rush in between things, 3 weeks on working days are 15 days. The lesson and the task are not in-depth, but then the result must be. In my opinion, the tutor needs things as they should be and not as "easily" explained in the short lesson before the tasks.
    • The help desk never really helped me

    The UX Design bootcamp is easy to follow as someone from outside the field (Finance) and provides the resources (tools + mentors) to help students succeed.
