Students will need to pay a deposit to secure their place, then complete the required pre-work before the program commences.
I have already done the Web-developer course and currently I am working on the UX course. The insights helped me to understand a lot of aspects these two professions. Even tough I am full-time employed, the content and the tasks are manageable (if you have at least some kind of related knowledge). The Mentor and Tutors are helpful and have never turned down a question.
I am just over half way through my course and throughly enjoying it! The support from both my tutor and mentor is amazing, they provide clear, constructive and timely feedback enabling me to swiftly improve my work and continue with the assignments. I found that they are also incredibly emotionally supportive in times where I may have felt overwhelmed or stressed! It took me a long time to choose the establishment I would study UX with, and no doubt believe that I made the best decision! T...

I did more than half of Career Foundry UX immersion course and I should say it is one of the best decisions i made in my life.
Course is well structured and opportunity to work with real tutor and mentor gives me both flexibility and good level of feedback.
I am currently studying UI design course at Career Foundry and i am really liking the course material, there is a lot of information , and is really well structured. I am glad i found this course!
CareerFoundry is an awesome investment for people who want to learn a new skill, change careers, or just improve on the skills they already have. I took the UI Design course and am so happy I chose this particular program. It is self-paced but they give clear milestones to keep you on track, which is exactly what I needed. Pluse, the mentor + tutor I got matched with helped me so much throughout the course. Highly recommend!
I am only a month into CareerFoundry's UX program but it has far already provided a great beginning to my studies. I already feel like I have a solid understanding of the UX design process. The tasks have been very practical and the support from my tutor, mentor and student advisors has been great and very encouraging. I'm excited to continue on in the course and delve deeper into topics. I highly recommend this program for those who are wanting to begin in the field!
I'm very glad I found this course. I'm in the middle of a career transition and the support they provide at careerfoundry is tremendous! Definitely recommend!
I'm halfway through the UX design course and I must say that so far I've been loving it! I knew very little of UX before starting the course so I found the UX Fundamentals really helpful to gain a better understanding of the subject. I was worried that the material in the UX Immersion would be repetitive but it was not the case: the module is well structured and very focused on the course project. I am a big fan of the learning by doing approach and I am truly having fun while doing the co...

Also, my mentor and tutor are simply exceptional: they always provide me with timely and encouraging feedback, not to mention the great insight into the UX world I can have chatting with my mentor. I hope to have the same support while looking for a job. So far, I can only say good things about CareerFoundry.
Excellent course, Worth every penny/cent :) Amazing people on the board helping you to get what you always wanted to have, a new creative career in the digital design tech world. Very well organized, structured. Lots of interesting content and massive support 24/7. Thank you, I really appreciate that you are there and that I found you.
To take the UX Design course was the best decision I made. I studied cultural science and was a writer before, but not happy, so I decided to make a career change. I began to read the books of Steve Krug last year and read all about UX Design. I began with the course in April and studied 40 hours/week. It was for me, without any experience in UX Design, a lot of work, I had to study on the weekend, too. The course material and the links to important websites were very good, I learned so mu...
To take the UX Design course was the best decision I made. I studied cultural science and was a writer before, but not happy, so I decided to make a career change. I began to read the books of Steve Krug last year and read all about UX Design. I began with the course in April and studied 40 hours/week. It was for me, without any experience in UX Design, a lot of work, I had to study on the weekend, too. The course material and the links to important websites were very good, I learned so much, and I’m able to create wireframes and screens with Balsamiq and Sketch, prototypes with InVision, I learned a lot about UX Research, agile UX, scrum, information architecture and concepts. I began the job preparation course (guarantee for getting hired) and found a job as a Trainee UX Designer while applying for jobs. I recommend the course to everyone who wants to become a UX Designer!
To be honest I don't feel like your exercises are designed for people who are completely new to this industry. You constantly mislead students by posting absurd estimated times of completion when in actuality the task takes several days to complete. I am behind because it took 6 f**** days to complete high fidelity wireframes and my mentor was not satisfied because of them. Then the current usability tests are obviously heavy and require WAY MORE TIME! Then the 5 hours est. complete time i...

Then the current usability tests are obviously heavy and require WAY MORE TIME! Then the 5 hours est. complete time it states (so fake and misleading) and I receive an email saying that I'm behind. Seriously? I work day in and day out 8 plus hours and still can't catch up.
