    So far so good!

    Im currently a full time student for the UI design course and so far it's been going great! My tutor and mentor are always willing to help and wants the best for me when to my portfolio. My only critique is for the UI design course I would like to see more information in video format. Other than that, the course is giving me  more confidence in my skills to transition into the UI/UX field.

    A great user experience!

    I'm taking UI design course on CareerFoundry. I'm very happy that I made the right decision to expand my career.

    It has been a great user experience in my study since the course is well organised, and all information is carefully represented. I never felt lost, which unfortunately happened to me when I took another online course from a different school.

    I like my tutor and mentor and its system. They encourage me a lot and give me helpful insight to improve my design.

    Changing careers, best decision of my life!

    The pandemic gave me the chance to stop and think where I was heading with my professional life. UX design was something that had always fascinated me, but I had never pictured myself in the tech world. Unhappy and stuck, I did lots of research and CareerFoundry seemed to be the best option to take the leap into this new world. The course is clearly structured, the more you put in in terms of work, the more you get back. Sometimes it's not easy, but the support system you have through yo...

    Deb's review

    I am reviewing the experience I am having so far at the CareerFoundry Bootcamp, UX Design,  full time.

    So far I have mixed feelings since I hoped that I will never have to change the tutor or the mentor, but exactly that was the case.

    Starting from reviewing the beginning, the Intro course, I felt like it was a bit overwhelming, the tasks and the deadline. It feels like you get thrown in the cold water but in the end if you are focused and dedicated enough, it is doable. It...

    Best choice

    I'm very satisfied about this course (UX designer).
     When I started I had no experience in the field. 
    I wanted to change my career path and it was the best choice.

    I like the learning by doing approach, I'm actually learning a lot.

    My mentor is super nice and very helpful. 

    I can't wait to start my first job in the UC field!

    As the title reads, so far so good! I enjoy each exercise, even when I’m a little stressed! I feel challenged in a healthy way and I’m learning so much. 
    My Tutor/Mentor are great and everyone is super friendly and the responses are fast and helpful. 
    I would only update the Sketch “explanations” considering that they belong to an older version. And maybe update few articles that are a bit old 

    For the rest I’m loving it, vibing m, learning and I can’t wait to learn more and...

    UX Design Program: Practical + Amazing Mentorship

    I am part way through the UX Design Program with CareerFoundry. The structure of the course is great. In the first month, you do an "Intro to UX Design": a top-level exploration of everything you're going to learn in the course. You get to develop user interviews, user personas, build wireframes, interactive prototypes, testing etc. But it's not until the immersion part of the course that you dig deeper into each area, and consolidate your learning. This program presents all information ...

    UX Immersion review

    CareerFoundry was my choice for a career change. Due to Covid-19, my professional occupancy was no longer viable and the time came to take a leap.
    Never I felt lack of support either from the Students Advisors, and specially from my Tutor and my Mentor. I finished my course 5 months ahead of time, which allowed me to find a job sooner than expected. 
    The curriculum is broad and covers very deeply all the aspects of UX. I would just introduce a few lessons about UI, specifically sof...
