    Top-notch UX Design Experience

    Although the course is super intense and demanding (and I honestly mean it), I consider it one of the best educational choices I have made. I tried some other UX courses in the past; however, they all missed one thing: STRUCTURE. 

    The amount of support you receive in order to succeed is enormous, and I am saying this as a newbie in the field. I appreciate the information and the instructions delivered and the proficiency and friendliness of my tutor, mentor, and the entire CF comm...

    UX Designer

    Honestly the best decision I have made! The course is in depth and it always gives you extra stuff to read if there are some hungry of knowledge folk. My tutor and mentor are super helpful as well always happy to help and making me feel industry ready with each feedback and meeting. I have met some wonderful people that I call friends and all that in the comfort of my own home. Highly recommended!

    The CF UX Design Program is amazing!

    The CareerFoundry UX design program is an amazing program in many ways. The course content is organized and engaging, but not overwhelming. The tutor and mentor who were provided to me by the program are both fantastic and make the cost of the program worthwhile.

    UX Design + Job Prep

    I have had a great experience at CareerFoundry. I loved every minute of learning and interacting with my mentors who really guided me. You never really feel left out even if it's fully remote. The instructors are very professional and clear in their guidance. At the end of the my UX courses I even had access to their Career Preparation cours that helps me land a great job! Thank you all for the help!

    Great experience!

    I started the course with many doubts, it was an unexpected decision after obtaining my degree in Industrial Design. It was a time of many changes for me so I didn't know if I could really keep up with the course and if it was worth the effort. Today I can say that I am more than happy not only with the way the course is developed and the dynamics of the content, but also for the support I really receive from the teachers and the motivation that this causes me day by day!
