    Best Decision I Ever Made

    As someone who was changing careers after 20+ years, I was ready for a change. CareerFoundry gave me an amazing opportunity to do just that. From tutors, mentors, as well as the networking channels created for students, I always felt I received the support and guidance I needed. I was able to meet some of the most amazing and talented professionals along the way. I took UX Fundamentals, UX Immersion, UI Specialization, Frontend Development, and Voice User Interface Design - so definitely...

    Comprehensive UX Course

    A really comprehensive UX course with a Specialization at the end. I have my Specialization left and have thoroughly enjoyed the course so far. The mentors and tutors are terrific, offering constructive feedback while being encouraging. The one thing I must mention is that their recommended time to finish some of the tasks may be slightly off (usually takes a little longer) for students who are completely new to the field. But the advisors and tutors help keep you on track. I have not go...

    Great experience

    I have heard about Career Foundry from my boyfriend, who took the web development course, and I decided to sign up for the UX Design course with two specializations in Front-end for designers and UI. I am currently going through the front-end specialization and I concluded the UX immersion in January this year. Overall it has been a very good experience both for me and for my boyfriend.  
    The material provided is great, you receive a general class which is not hard to go through and g...

    CareerFoundry - UI design bootcamp

     

    I did the UI Design bootcamp and Job Prep through CareerFoundry. It cost around 3,400, self-paced, and completely online.

    • The Course: The class itself was great. It has a great structure and communication with mentors and tutors is easy. If you have a question they are required to respond within 48 hours but usually it was just within a day. The course is up to 6 months but I was able to get it done in 4. I felt like this learning structure just really worked ...

    complex and challenging, but engaging for someone with no design background

    I'm a former childhood educator who recently switched to UX Design.  I found CareerFoundry from a friend's recommendation, and have enjoyed the course, and found it challenging and interesting throughout.  I'm currently at the mid-way point. 

    I had no background in graphic design or any of the software, but have managed to stay on course, albeit slowly at times.  My favorite part is the support staff, who are there to answer even the most basic questions, through instant chat or ...

    UX Immersion Career Foundry

    After deciding to change my career from a motion designer to UX designer i came across Career Foundry. It was appealing with flexible learning and not too pricey. I am half way through and so far finding it great. Incredibly insightful and well taught with reading followed by tasks. I feel like I have already learned so much. All I would say is I think it would be a little harder for people totally new to design as you would have to learn all the tools as well as learning about UX and meth...

    Good structure and informative

    Although I only took a short-course for the UX Fundamentals, it gave me enough knowledge to have a good insight into the world of UX. It was well structured, and the tutors on hand were ready to answer any questions I had. Excercises were balanced between easy/medium difficulty and the time to complete was just about right. Would recommend for those interested into quick crash course into UX and see if it's for them or not.

    Very organized and well thought-out!

    I'm on my last task for the UI Design course, and overall it was a great experience and introduction to the world of UI design! My tutor and mentor were very nice and always quick to respond, which was really helpful when I got stuck. I feel very comfortable using Sketch now, and I can't wait to come up with more designs! The material is current and well-structured.
