    Maybe one of the best courses around?

    UX Design course at CareerFoundry is probably the most self comprehensive course there is out there in UX design. Out of 4 courses they offer (UX design, UI Design, Data Analytics, and Web Development), UX design is probably the longest. Yes, this is a bootcamp, with all the stigmas that bootcamp have attached to them due to their intensity. Yet, CareerFoundry does a great job at streamlining the learning process in digestible parts, that doesn't make it overwhelming for people with alre...

    Good, but keep improving!

    I'm in the new data analytics course and so far I'm glad I took it, because I wanted a new career, and until now it looks effective. I hope the money's worth it! ;D Can't say anything about the success rate for finding a job at this point as I'm just halfway into the course. As it's new I can totally understand that it needs some refining. The flaws which arise are taken out of the way pretty fast because you have so many people to talk to (e.g. mentor, tutor, student advisors, etc.)

    UX/UI Design Course

    I took and had a great experience with CareerFoundry's 10-month UX design course (UI specialization). The main pros are: in-depth, self-driven courses, mentorship throughout, you come out with 3-4 case studies under your belt, and an active student/alumni Slack community. One of the best things about the program is they set you up for career success with the optional job preparation course. My career specialist, Neha Hurpaul, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in helping me refine ...

    UX Design

    Read a text and apply the newly acquired knowledge hands-on to your course project, that's the simple formula of this course. The texts are well-written and easy to understand. You have a tutor who gives you written feedback and a mentor helping you via video call with the bigger tasks. I've learned so much already, pretty amazing.

    Full-Stack Immersion

    I have loved my entire experience with Career Foundry! I decided to sign up for the Full-Stack Immersion course after I completed a Computer Science Minor at my university. I felt like I wanted to take an additional course to fill in the gaps of knowledge from my previous education. Prior to taking the course, I did not feel confident in my full-stack development skills, and now I feel SO much more experienced and have a ton of projects that I can show off! My mentor has been amazing and...

    Expansive course tasks with helpful tutor and mentor to guide you along the way. Most of the course materials are relevant to current industry, but it could do some updates so it matches the current industry standard.

    Renewed sense of purpose!

    I’m about 2/3 through my UX Design programme and I have nothing but positives to say about the course and CareerFoundry as a whole!
