    CareerFoundry's Excellent UX Course

    CareerFoundry has an excellent UX course. The content is immersive and easy to understand. Mostly reading with supplemental videos and students learn by doing assignments. Mentors and tutors are great. They respond timely and give valuable, tailored feedback. Student advisors keep. you connected to the community with regular updates and there is a slack channel to meet other students. Excellent value.

    Amazing UX bootcamp!

    CareerFoundry's approach to UX education sets you up for success and is well worth the money. The learning material is all well written and one by one the assignments help you build your portfolio while teaching you how to problem solve in the field of UX. I love my mentor because he always gives valuable feedback and is a great support system!

    Career Foundry

    I’m currently in the Immersion portion of the UX Design certificate program. My tutor and mentor are very helpful and provide me with feedback in less than 24 hours. 

    Throughout the course you are completing one large project, but can take the tools that you learning towards other case studies so that you have a full portfolio. I do wish that we had two complete projects in the end. 

    I’m looking forward to completing this program!

The course is constantly iterated, too, so improvements are made based on the changing dy...

    Not recommeneded for people looking to study fast

    Its being 2 months I enrolled into this course. The Course material is good and mentor is very helpfull. I had issues with tutor as there was no response from Tutor for almost 2 weeks and I was stuck . After 2 weeks I came to know they have assigened a  new tutor. Got another mail saying there wont be any support during christmas week which was not told to me when I joined the course. I lost almost a month. Not recommeneded for someone who wants to finish the course to get a job.

    Exactly what I needed!

    I chose CareerFoundry over some other options because of the support staff, Mentor, Tutor, Advisors. They've been accessible, a wealth of information, and very encouraging and understanding. It's easy to move through the program as well. It's well thought out and easy to move through. It's offering what I need to feel confident transitioning to this new career and starting my job search. So far, I'm pleased with my choice and would recommend to friends.

    Very Well Organized.

    I registered for Data Analytics Program and I'm now enjoying it for a month.  I'm totally new in this field but all the course materials are very easy too follow, though some minor confusions and downloading issue from the external links.  I strongly recommend anyone who are willing to switch careers!

    UI IMMERSION PROGRAM

    I already have a design background and degree and soo excited about this program. I did enjoy the UI program itself and completed it in January 2022. Unfortunately, if you hope to find a job after this program (intern or entry-level), it's not as easy as they make it out to be and after being told how good my work is and I won't have any issues finding a role in this field. 
    I suggest completing the specialization course if you want any chance of a course refund  ( part of their Job G...

    An Intense, Focused, Fantastic Learning Experience

    I’m about 3 months into my UI course with CareerFoundry and I must say it is an excellent program that can be done by many people regardless of skill or previous experience. The platform is simple to use, the instructions are clear and detailed, and my tutor and mentor have helped me every step of the way. I have only had 1 issue regarding my mentoring, but it was resolved in a timely manner by my student advisors. I can confidently recommend this course to anyone looking to enter the de...

    In depth Course

    The course has been fully in depth into each step of the UX design process and UX design career as a whole. Having the mentors each step of the way has been a nice tool and good practice. The course gives you all the tools to learn UX design but it is on you to learn new softwares and eventually build your profile up enough to show to potential employers. I haven’t finished the course fully just yet but so far I’ve enjoyed it!
