    UX Design Course

    WOW! I have learned so much the last six months, that I don't even know where to start.
    Getting to know the fundamentals of UX Design through theory and also through practice, I really enjoyed every step of the way. In practice, I have learned how to make a digital prototype of an app idea, what the process is, what tools to use in order to make it, how to organize it and save time and ask for & receive feedback. I enjoyed it very much and am very thankful for the course and the m...

    UX immersion course review

    Overall the material is good and instructors are knowledge but I feel more focus is on making one think like a UXer and not so much training on tools .But I would definitely recommend the course to anyone looking for a career change

    UX Design Course - Great!

    This course has been very challenging from the beginning. The best thing is the tutors and my mentor who is always there and encourages me to go further.

    What I like the most is that it has a lot of additional information, videos and clear and organized information. 

    I recommend this school if you are looking for something practical and really to the point.

    UX Design program review

    I have been taking the UX Design bootcamp since October and I have been loving it. I was nervous about the career change and if I was up for the challenge but with CareerFoundry they made it easy and fun. Every chapter ends with a task which is great because you get to put what you learned in practice. The chapters are easy to understand and follow. The support I get from my mentor, tutor and student advisors is amazing. What I am also looking forward to is the job prep, where they help ...

    UI Design

    I'm about halfway through the UI Design Course and really enjoying it so far. The course is completely online so you are able to create your own schedule, although the program is quite intense so you need to put in a lot of hours. I would definitely recommend it to someone who already has a background in design and experience with software programs. The program is really well laid out and easy to follow, also for people with no previous knowledge in design.

    Perfect learning through practice

    The course is perfectly tailored for a deep understanding of the subject. The concept of learning through practice helps students to experience the practical problems. There are plenty of resources to master the concepts. Best feedback and guide are offered. Syllabus matches the needs of the industry. I am happy to be at CarrerFoundry.

    CareerFoundry is great

    I'm currently enrolled in CareerFoundry's full stack web development program. 
    All of the learning is on-demand, and you are provided a tutor to review daily tasks and a mentor to review projects and have regular Skype calls with. 
    The program is time flexible, so you can work whenever and how many hours you want at any pace with internet connection you want. What is the biggest plus for me.

    UX Design

    The course is separated into two modules, Intro to UX and UX Immersion Course. I'm now almost through half of the UX Immersion Course and my experience is so far great! The two things I like the most are the flexibility to work on my own schedule, but of course respecting the deadlines, and the support from the tutor and mentor. Even though is an online course, you receive actual feedback and personalized mentoring.
    I truly recommend this course, especially if you are able to have you...
