    UI Design Course

    I recently finished the UI Design course with CareerFoundry. I chose it for its practical approach. During this course I was working on several projects, and I am using three of them in my professional portfolio. I also appreciate the support of a mentor and a tutor during the course and the job preparation phase. 
    I would wish for more contact with my peers, the course is fully online and although there is a community of students on slack, it can't fully replace the team experience. ...

    Full-Stack Web Development Program

    I am quite satisfied by my experience with Careerfoundry. In my opinion the curriculum is very complete, while also giving you a lot of tips to further learn more about certain topics/tools if wanted. 
    You get a tutor (who reviews your tasks) and a mentor (who reviews your final achievements for each section). The meetings with my mentor were generally very useful, giving me an expert's insight on the topic I was studying/about to study.
    However, I have to say that the few times I ...

    UX Design

     I would recommend CareerFoundry to anyone who is looking to consider a career in the UX field. It will give you an overview and an idea about the field and also will equip you with the skills and knowledge that are required. 
    Among the few things which I want to highlight includes the support from the student advisor community,mentors and tutors and the very active Slack community! 
    Self paced study can get quite overwhelming but CareerF...

    Learn At Your Own Pace

    I am most of the way through career foundry's UX program. I started in February of this year (2022). What I like about the course is that it's much more thorough than the other UX boot camps. The other programs range from 1-3 months long. Career foundry is more like 5-8 months depending on your schedule. While you're still required to do a lot of learning outside of class to fully grasp the tools, the course does a good job laying out the fundamentals. You're assigned a tutor and a mento...

    Solid Foundation

    Careerfoundry has a very well thorough & well-paced curriculum. I’ve learned so much in my UX design bootcamp with them already and I am only half way through. My only note, is that this bootcamp is truly a solid foundation for UX knowledge, however, it is super important that you conduct some independent studying as well on top of your CF coursework. Go to meet ups, go to design workshops, socialize with other UXers for the best possible learning experience!

    Well-organized

    It is my first time doing a course online, and I find the one from Career Foundry very organized. The mentors and tutors are very encouraging and engaging, which I feel is important when you do a course online. What's great is that it is certified and can be paid fully by the Agentur für Arbeit in Germany.

    UX Design Course

    I am doing the UX Design Course as a full-time student and currently about a third of the way of the course. I find the course to be extremely well structured. So far all of the course material has been very well laid out and I had no issues understanding my course content or any of the tasks. The Slack community has been helpful to connect to other students at my level. Most challenging is the pace of the course (as a German student my course is paid for by the government, which comes w...

    I'm a total career changer, so it's not always easy for me, but the CareerFoundry team is there to help and advise.
    The course material is clearly structured and with every little achievement I feel a bit more confident.
    The vibrant Slack community is worth its weight in gold!

    Great Investment

    I love how each task of this builds upon the previous, it helps to what the entire process of designing is. My tutor is amazing and gives clear and concise feedback, and always gives resources in addition to his critiques . My mentor is so encouraging and helps me know I’m actually progressing. I’m happy I made the investment in this course.

    Full Stack Web Development

    I had a terrible experience with their full stack web development program. There are much better programs out there that are more up to date on their materials and are less expensive. It seems like the only program of theirs that they care about maintaining and supporting is the UX program, but the coding program was unacceptable. Tutors that are either unavailable, don't care, or dont know how to explain coding, projects that are so out of date that all of them have broken within a few ...

    Immersion UX Design Course

    The UX Design course fully meets my expectations so far, all is understandable and well structured. The course material is really well structured and understandable and each exercise is always a comfortable length. I really like the tutor and mentor system, I have two direct contacts who answer all my questions and support me on my way.
     I feel very comfortable with the course.
