    UX Design Course at CareerFoundry (2020-2021)

    I did the course between 2020 and 2021. I must say that this is one of the most support that I have ever had while learning a a new skill. The program is designed in a very holistic way, from the introduction to the career advisor. I don't think that I would be able to stay this engaged without having a mentor, a tutor and a whole student community. The mentor calls and direct feedback from the tutor are extremely helpful and help you learn quickly. You also have access to a multitude of...

    UI study

    Though it’s all online, the support team is always available and tutors and mentors respond quick enough.
    Curriculum is quite intensive for beginners, but platforms are clear and easy to understand with some videos and photos.

    I feel like pro after just 3 months

    I can’t stress enough how great this bootcamp is. I feel like a real designer and I’m not even finished with the bootcamp yet. The course is so detailed and covers so much without being confusing and overwhelming. My mentor, tutor, and career advisor have been fantastic and keep me focused and on track!

    UX Design Program

    I really enjoyed my experience in the UX design program with CF, I thought the curriculum was well established and the course was a good balance of engaging while still being challenging. I was particularly impressed by the variety of resources they offer (for example, a mentor for the UX course and a separate mentor for the job search)

    Making Me Confident

    After making numerous comparisons on features, pricing, and payment methods, I decided upon CareerFoundry to start my UX design journey. I also need to add that the customer service rep who I was on a call with prior to registration was top notch and very helpful to allowing me to make an informed decision among the various options based in Toronto. Being someone who is switching career and with no design background whatsoever, CareerFoundry's student advisor, tutor, and mentor had been ...

    Very solid teaching

    I’m almost done with my courses at CareerFoundry, and I can say that my time here has been well spent. The course material is designed in a way that is more hands on, so while you’re learning, you’re building a portfolio at the same time. The mentors are very nice and helpful, and are always willing to book a video call. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants hands on experience as a UX designer.
