    Full time UX course

    I think the material is not up to date and some exercises feel like they are there just to make the course longer.

    UX Design Bootcamp CareerFoundry

    I just completed my UX Design Course (Intro + Immersion) I worked on for the last five months. I am very happy that I found this UX design school and would definitely recommend it. The best part is that you work with a mentor, a tutor, and a career specialist (when doing the job preparation course) and it's all about your specific career development, skills, and experiences.  So like a whole team for your development ;) You have to complete a bunch of tasks but can study on your own (whe...

    Ux design immersive

    The course overall feels pretty good. I learned a lot here. Teachers office hour is basically unlimited. You can ask them to review anything you want. However, There are a few drawbacks. First, the course is not as long as they described. You should be able to finish full time within 4 month( the entire course). Second, the community is not very supportive. It is hard to find people to participate in your research. Lastly, most content is words, instead of videos, so it is a personal pre...

    Good content, but more tutorial videos wouldn't hurt

    The course itself is quite complete, I really liked that it has a whole chapter on UX design, which gives us a better understanding of the whole creation process.
    Although I did a little test about the course, it was not clear to me that the course is basically all reading and links that lead to more reading. Many times I couldn't understand some things and I had to look for other sources like You Tube. We know that a human being cannot stay focused for long, so it would be nice to ha...

    Great Experience!

    I have already passed half the course, and so far I have only had positive experiences! The course is very well structured, both in terms of content and student support (perhaps the CarrerFoundry differential). My mentor and tutor are always available to answer questions, I have weekly calls with my mentor to talk about the progress of my achievements. Both respond very quickly, always. I definitely recommend it!

    Good Entrypoint into the World of UX

    I’m currently enrolled in the UX Design course with Career Foundry. Prior to this I spoke to a friend who had also completed the course and overall had mainly positive things to say about it.

    I find the curriculum good - some of the tasks here and there feel somewhat pointless given the lack of “real world setting” and its more of a thought experiment in terms of “imagine you’re on a larger team with different stakeholders” - but overall I’m quite happy with the new input and meth...

    UX Design Program - Immersion

    The UX Design course was a really great experience, the tutors and mentors really know the topics and I found that they pushed me to go further and take an extra step which helped me feel engaged and also deepened my understanding and importance of UX. I was hesitant at first but now as I am nearing completion, I feel very confident in my future. Thank you all at Career Foundry!
