    Lever looked back

    I'm very happy that I chose to study with CF. They always have resources available to provide the support that I needed. On top of that, students get to attend networking events/workshops to expand our knowledge and contacts. I enjoyed my UX Course thoroughly and had great relationship with my mentors and tutors.

    Best further education measure for employed persons

    I have already done the Web-developer course and currently I am working on the UX course. The insights helped me to understand a lot of aspects these two professions. Even tough I am full-time employed, the content and the tasks are manageable (if you have at least some kind of related knowledge). The Mentor and Tutors are helpful and have never turned down a question.

    CareerFoundry UX Design

    I am just over half way through my course and throughly enjoying it! The support from both my tutor and mentor is amazing, they provide clear, constructive and timely feedback enabling me to swiftly improve my work and continue with the assignments. I found that they are also incredibly emotionally supportive in times where I may have felt overwhelmed or stressed! It took me a long time to choose the establishment I would study UX with, and no doubt believe that I made the best decision! T...

    Such a great investment!

    CareerFoundry is an awesome investment for people who want to learn a new skill, change careers, or just improve on the skills they already have. I took the UI Design course and am so happy I chose this particular program. It is self-paced but they give clear milestones to keep you on track, which is exactly what I needed. Pluse, the mentor + tutor I got matched with helped me so much throughout the course. Highly recommend!

    Very solid beginning to UX Career

    I am only a month into CareerFoundry's UX program but it has far already provided a great beginning to my studies. I already feel like I have a solid understanding of the UX design process. The tasks have been very practical and the support from my tutor, mentor and student advisors has been great and very encouraging. I'm excited to continue on in the course and delve deeper into topics. I highly recommend this program for those who are wanting to begin in the field!

    Compelling material and great support

    I'm halfway through the UX design course and I must say that so far I've been loving it! I knew very little of UX before starting the course so I found the UX Fundamentals really helpful to gain a better understanding of the subject. I was worried that the material in the UX Immersion would be repetitive but it was not the case: the module is well structured and very focused on the course project. I am a big fan of the learning by doing approach and I am truly having fun while doing the co...

    Very good UX Design course

    To take the UX Design course was the best decision I made. I studied cultural science and was a writer before, but not happy, so I decided to make a career change. I began to read the books of Steve Krug last year and read all about UX Design. I began with the course in April and studied 40 hours/week. It was for me, without any experience in UX Design, a lot of work, I had to study on the weekend, too. The course material and the links to important websites were very good, I learned so mu...

    To be honest I don't feel like your exercises are designed for people who are completely new to this industry. You constantly mislead students by posting absurd estimated times of completion when in actuality the task takes several days to complete. I am behind because it took 6 f**** days to complete high fidelity wireframes and my mentor was not satisfied because of them. Then the current usability tests are obviously heavy and require WAY MORE TIME! Then the 5 hours est. complete time i...

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you so much for your feedback! It is important for us to make sure that you as a student are getting a smooth learning experience and if that is not the case - we want to know what can be improved on our side.

    Please note that there are two time estimates on each task page. One represents the time needed to read the materials and the other represents the time it takes to complete the task itself. Both of the estimates put together should show you an approximate time it would take to complete the whole task (reading + the actual task).

    The completion estimations stated on the task pages are created from the feedback we received from our students on how long it takes them to complete the tasks (an average of all responses). This varies from one student to another and if you believe the estimates are not accurate, we are happy to pass this feedback to our Curriculum Team so they can make adjustments.

    We would be happy to check in with you on the specific assignments that took you longer to complete than expected. Please reach out to us at feedback@careerfoundry.com.

    If there's anything else you'd like to share with us, feel free to do so. We will be glad to assist in any way possible.

    Best regards,
    Your CareerFoundry Team
