    UI designer

    It is a very well-designed course with a great approach to presenting material. The material is extensive and covers all important aspects. The course is divided into Achievements and at the end of each Achievement you have a project to add to your portfolio (5 projects in total). You get a Mentor who reviews your projects (and you can book weekly video calls), and a tutor who reviews your daily tasks. The latter unfortunately doesn’t leave much comments on your exercises and just makes ...

    Great mentoring!

    I chose CareerFoundry due to its balance of cost/program length/provided resources and I must say that I think it has been a great value so far. But like most things, you get out what you put in.

    Obviously due to its nature as a bootcamp it is somewhat limited in scope, but where this program shines is in it’s provided mentoring. I see the provided readings/exercises as a great starting point, then delve deeper with my mentor to really understand real world applications of my new ...

    To anybody that is looking to change their career or go down the UX Design road, I would highly recommend CareerFoundry. From start to finish I have been supported throughout my course.

    I FINALLY feel seen!

    I never thought I would be able to finish a program (let alone an online one) but CareerFoundry proved me wrong. I have been in and out of college for the better part of a decade and it just never stuck for me. I really thought something was wrong with me and that I would never be able to vamp up my resume or be taken seriously. CareerFoundry has the perfect approuch for people who learn best with hands on assingments and diving into projects where you are taking away so much more than a...
