    Best choice I made!

    This course is jam packed with new information. I didn't know anything about UI Design before starting this course with CF. As I traditional graphic designer the transition was very smooth and everything is explained really well for beginners. I really liked the  feedback and support you get from your Tutors and Mentors.

    UI Design Program

    I come from a Graphic Design background, but I wanted to change my career path from Print Production to something more Tech/Digital. 

    Overall I've had a great experience with this course;
    The instructors are friendly helpful.
    The course schedule is very flexible.
    The skills I'm learning are very practice.

    I also want to mention I got a full-time job as a Graphic Designer/UI Designer before I finished the course. One of the interviewer knew of CareerFoundry which I ...

    Solid Foundation & Great Curriculum

    I am halfway through the UX Design program and am really enjoying it. I find that it really is a "you get out what you put in" type of deal with a great framework. I knew I needed a program that would provide me with a learning structure because self-study was not working for me personally. I think you *can* learn everything here on your own, but it has been very helpful to have a mentor and tutor to guide me in addition to the structured coursework. Overall, I am really happy I enrolled...

    Good, but can be better

     I am currently taking a CareerFoundry UX design course. I am happy that we have tutors and mentors who review our work and answer our questions. It’s good that the course provides tasks after each reading material. These tasks helped me learn and progress. However, the reading information isn’t great, and I have to do a lot of extra reading. Sometimes the task doesn’t include the information I need for the task. Also, I think the structure of these tasks could be better; I feel frustrat...

    Full stack web development

    The course itself is intensive and covers full stack, which is perfect for me. I’m haven’t decided if I want to do full stack, front end or back end and this gives me the chance to cover all my bases. 
    I have come across some communication issues with my tutor and sometimes wonders if he really checks my work, however my mentor has been incredible. I find our Skype meetings extremely productive, motivating and overall helpful. I would recommend this school to friends and family.

    Data Analytics

    Course is very clear and straightforward. Mentor and turor are very helpful. A lot of tools for the students to plan and succeed. Very flexible too.

    But you need Microsoft Office if you don't want to use the Google spreadsheet.
