Students apply via the CareerFoundry website by connecting with an advisor who can talk through their options. Students will need to pay a deposit to secure their place, then complete the required pre-work before the program commences.

    Worthwhile Courses

    The UX Design course has been super helpful in learning the beginning to end process a UX designer goes through. I’ve been a web designer for years, but this course has helped me fill in my UX knowledge gaps. I feel more prepared now to go out and get a new job in the UX field.

    Amazing program

    CareerFoundry has been such an amazing program for me. They have been so thorough and the mentors they assign to you really have an immense passion for what they do. I have learned so much and this course has given me the skills/confidence to move forward as a UX designer. They were so accommodating and patient during this pandemic and I can’t describe my gratitude for CareerFoundry. My biggest bit of advice for anyone looking to sign up with CareerFoundry is this: just like anything in ...

    A Professional, Personalized Experience Online

    The content of the course is broken down in a way that's easy to learn and well organized. However I think the most beneficial part of the course is that they set you up for success from the very start, providing helpful timelines to keep yourself on track, a tutor who reviews every assignment and provides feedback, and a mentor who is there to offer higher level support and insight that I wouldn't have access to on my own. Not to huge the large network of other students who are there to...

    Great, but time consuming course

    I would like to change my career from engineering to UX Design. After careful consideration, I decided to join CareerFoundry. So far I don't regret this decision either. I'm very satisfied with the course. It's constantly updated and there are always improvements in the course material. So I feel well prepared and up to date. Sometimes, I wish I had a little more background information. Then I have to do my own research, which I find important for learning.

    I sometimes find the de...

    UX Design course

    It was a great time learning UX design at Career Foundry.

    The instructors are very supportive and always provide additional resources for learning. My mentor changed during the course, however, CareerFoundry team made the transition very smooth. The tutor was always there and answered all the questions I had.
    The curriculum was sometimes confusing. As a complete beginner, I would wish some more tips about upcoming tasks and what to prepare for it. Between some tasks, there is a...

    UX Design Course

    I have taken part in the UX Design course and I would totally recommend it. 
    I dare to change my career to one very new but also that had to do with understanding people's needs. 
    My mentor and tutor were always very helpful and reachable. I have had all the support I needed to succeed in this course and I feel prepared to start this new position in any company.

    UX Design Course

     As someone with a full-time job, a side-hustle job, a chronic illness and very little to spend on a course, I put doing this course on the back burner for months before I finally decided to bite the bullet, get a loan from the bank and just do it. And I am SO HAPPY that I did! While it's possible to do the course much faster, I am chipping away at it on top of my other jobs and make sure that I fully understand the material before moving to the next chapter, and all I ever receive from ...
