Students apply via the CareerFoundry website by connecting with an advisor who can talk through their options. Students will need to pay a deposit to secure their place, then complete the required pre-work before the program commences.

    UX Immersion

    This course has not been what I expected. Neither the tutoring nor mentoring has met expectations, and the course content hasn't been anything special either. 

    I haven't enjoyed using the platform either. The chat function is frustrating and audio functionality for the text is poor.

    Mr.

    Since March 29th, 2021 I opted in for a UX design course in CareerFoundry I have found it absolutely amazing. I love the structure of the course - they are well detailed and easy to understand. However, my Mentor and Tutor guiding me through this program have been helpful. They are intelligent, experienced, and time conscious to correcting of course tasks. I would recommend careerFoundry to prospective students irrespective of the choice of program. Moreover, the opportunity of supportin...

    UX Designer course

    Very supportive and helpful. Responses are very fast, most of time within 48 hours. Need a little spontaneous studying to use some software which they do but cover in the curriculum but Mentor always helps a lot. Very recommend to all of you who are interested in UX Design.

    Great curriculum!

    This course is so well structured. With every task, you learn new skills in order to start slowly building your understanding of UX. It's so easy to follow and great if you are a beginner. The consistent feedback from a tutor also really helps! Would recommend it for anyone looking to delve into the world of UX!!

    Intro to Data Analytics

    I'm nearly finished with my CareerFoundry Intro to Data Analytics course. It's been a great exploration of the fundamentals of conducting a descriptive analysis, and using Excel. The quality of feedback from my tutor has been incredible, and I've loved the relevant, contemporary examples used in the curriculum.

    Don't do Web Dev course, Do UX/UI!

    Pros:
    - Website: Ok
    - Service: Helpful and quick reply. But when about job related? Sadly not good due to different local market
    - Slack community: Met some interesting fellows

    Cons:
    - Curriculum: Not good enough to get a junior position. Video explanation? The instruction is too plain / strong accent - hardly to understand sometimes. Too much writing and quite confusing sometimes.

    Well supported UX Program

    The best part of the UX Design Program with CareerFoundry (and what made me choose them), is that you can choose your own pace. You have a deadline, true, but it´s established doing the minimum weekly hours of study. 

    Also important is that you spend all the time during your program working on practical projects. So yes, there is a lot to read and digest,  but putting everything automatically into practice makes it much more dynamic. Not only that, you are building your portfolio ...
