    Best UX course ever

    I am a student of the UX Course at Career Foundry, currently finishing up and I can only say good things about them. The theory is very complete and their tutors and mentors do a really good job helping you find your way,

    UI Design

    This is a great experience for anyone looking to make a career change. I have had a great mentor/tutor experience, and they have both been helpful in giving me valuable feedback and career advice. My mentor is also a graphic designer so we have talked about related skills such as branding and logo design. I think it’s a great program with good value.

    Changed my life

    I started CareerFoundry while working full time at a job I hated.. I was welcomed with open arms by my student advisors, mentor, and tutor. We may all be in different time zones but it never feels like it. They constantly have positive feedback and always provide help within 24-48 hours! I’m so happy I picked CF over the others. I’m so excited to start my new career change! CF gave me the skills to not only build a powerful portfolio but my confidence as well. Pick CareerFoundry if you h...

    You can have nice tutor/mentor and well thought-out course

    The tutor and mentor are skilled and helpful, and the course is organized very well.
    You will learn everything about UX here, from design theories to practical testing. I also like I can proceed with my course at any paces. I'm satisfied with the course mostly and I feel it was worth paying expensive tuition. The only thing I wished was to develop the project with a team.

    Career Services

    While working through the UX/UI program at CareerFoundry, I was paired with Neha Hurpaul for the Career Service portion of the program. Neha was amazing to work with, and is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to job prep. Any time I had a question, she took the time to give me a detailed and thoughtful explanation. We spent a lot of time working on interview prep and questions, and overall best practice for interviewing. This process made a huge improvement towards my comfort level duri...

    UX Design Certification

    The UX design course is amazing, so in depth in each of the various facets of the field - diving into some psychology, behaviours, analysis and more. Even without trying, you also pick up a great deal of UI and design knowledge which is great, it was always something I feared I wasn’t the best at - the creative side. 
    Out with the course curriculum, the tutors and mentors I’ve been given have been super helpful, from quick reviewing of tasks and achievements, to providing rich and in ...

    Good school for aspiring UX designers

    I find the course pretty great, I like my tutor and receive lots of good personal feedback. I wished that they taught more about how to use programs such as adobe xd as I have had to look up a lot of tutorials on YouTube to teach myself. Other than that I think the course is quite good and I am excited and hopeful to see how it aids me when I start the job hunt.
