    Great foundation to build on

     The course teaches you the important basics on what it needs to become a UX-Designer. The tutors and mentors are professional and the ressources are very well sorted and helpful for beginners and intermediates alike. With a real sense for progression the course motivates you to not only achieve your goals fast but also to go a bit further and dive deep into a topic. I really enjoyed the tempo of the course.
    I just started the optional job prep course but for now it is great as well. ...

    Student Of Three Schools.

    I've taken courses at General Assembly, Bloc, and now CF. Though all have pros and cons I will say CF has the most thorough self-paced course of them all. GA weighed heavily on the instructor and Bloc wasn't as extensive considering the price. I found CF to be a nice balance and give you the most bang for your buck.

    UX Design Program

    The UX Design Program is an intensive, and concept heavy course, with lots of helpful information for anyone wanting an introduction to the UX methodology. I'd suggest having some basic graphic and graphic software knowledge before you decide to apply for the course to be able to finish your tasks in the estimated time, especially if English is not your first language.

    There's a lot of reading, research, writing, and you'll need to learn using software or graphic language mostly a...

    UX Immersion

    This type of online bootcamp is really dependent on how great your mentors/tutors are, and I was lucky that my mentors were super hands-on and were not hesitant to give me constructive criticism.  The courses itself had some issues with flow and lessons not matching the assignments (at least for front-end dev specialization), but I am aware that they had just recently changed the lesson.  This is probably a good sign that they take into consideration student feedback and are trying to ad...

    Life changing experience!

    Just while having a hard time to find the career of my dreams I saw and advertisement of Careerfoundry. I was subscribing to their daily UX/UI mail and even the small articles I got for free, were so interesting I immediately decided I want more of this. I started my studies in June 2019 and I am super satisfied with my decision. The articles are clear and easy to understand with extra resources about the topic. The tutor who is assigned is helpful and ready to answer all of the question...

    CareerFoundry changed my life!!

    I am so thankful for CareerFoundry.

The curriculum is extremely thorough and well designed. Additionally, I had a great experience with the job prep course and the Career Specialists.

    Helpful but not very thorough

    The course was informative and helpful overall. I did find it overpriced for what it is, and expected a more in-depth learning experience. A big downside to me was not having any idea about how other students were doing and therefore not being able to ‘chart’ my learning in comparison to peers. Likewise, the tutor’s feedback on my work had no score so I never really found out how good I was doing and how much better it could be. Each tutor has their own opinions as well, so obviously to ...
