Interaction Design Foundation
Interaction Design Foundation’s UX bootcamps are part-time, fully online programs with a focus on job-readiness. Interaction Design Foundation (IxDF) is an independent initiative with a mission to make design education affordable and accessible. Every bootcamp is designed to help students develop practical skills and a portfolio through Capstone project work.
IxDF bootcamps are mentor-led. Mentors in the Interaction Design Foundation bootcamps are experienced UX design professionals with 5-15 years of experience. Beginner-level bootcamps in UX Fundamentals, User Research and Design Thinking include a dedicated mentor as well as live classes with an instructor and group critiques with peers. The UX Portfolio and Career bootcamp includes a dedicated mentor, peer reviews and consultations with design recruiters.
Students are also given a one-year Interaction Design Foundation membership, which includes Interaction Design Foundation courses, which are available to those who wish to supplement or expand on their knowledge from bootcamp.
All bootcamps include a verifiable certificate of completion. Students who complete at least 3 beginner-level bootcamps are also eligible for an IxDF UX Certification with a Job Guarantee.

I did quite a bit of research on UX bootcamps prior to taking this course. This was by far the most affordable option coming in at around $1100.

Being an experienced visual designer, I wanted to focus on the principles of UX design in order to build some case studies for my portfolio. This bootcamp allowed me to do that on my own time. That said, you have to be self-motivated to take full advantage of this program and take note that the online courses do not align with the bootcamp in any specific order. If you are new to UX Design, I'd suggest taking a few of the IDF's courses prior to doing the bootcamp.- Paige W.UX/UI Designer • Student • UX Portfolio and Career Bootcamp • OnlineNov 09, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great Bootcamp at IDF!
My instructor Anthony was very patient with my work style and provided great feedback to push me outside my comfort zone to produce the best portfolio pieces I could. I would strongly recommend this experience to anyone who is looking to grow within the design field. - AbhishekGraduate • UX Portfolio and Career Bootcamp • OnlineNov 04, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Bootcamp Review
I recently completed the Get A UX Job Bootcamp through the Interaction Design Foundation as part of my transition into UX design. Through the Bootcamp, I was paired with an amazing mentor who went above and beyond to help me create my portfolio website, including an in-depth project I could showcase. I had a great experience overall and would recommend this to others looking to become UX designers. - ZijunGraduate • UX Portfolio and Career Bootcamp • OnlineNov 04, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UX Bootcamp
I have learned so much in Interaction Design Foundation's courses and it helped me turn into a UX designer. Now after two months' graduation I have already started designing website for a startup. I am also very grateful for my mentor Anthony as he helped me so much on my journey becoming a UX designer. He is always generous with his time and share with me lots of helpful resources. Overall, I really enjoyed this bootcamp and highly recommended it! - Maria OldewageUX Designer • Student • UX Portfolio and Career Bootcamp • OnlineNov 03, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I had a really good mentor for the duration of the bootcamp; they were very active and helped me to stay on top of the projects. The resources provided by the Interaction Design Foundation are really helpful and informative, and they provided a good choice of project briefs.

There were also weekly updates from the Interaction Design Foundation to give an indication of where you should be with your progress, but there is also flexibility to allow for a busy schedule. I would recommend this bootcamp as it is really helpful for building a UX portfolio, whether from scratch or improving your existing one, and with a subscription to the courses available from the IDF you get all the resources to help you on your journey. It is also really good value for money. - EbonyFreelance UX Designer • Graduate • UX Portfolio and Career Bootcamp • OnlineNov 03, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The largest benefit was working with a mentor. I am so so grateful I was matched with someone who continued to encourage me throughout the process. I don't think I would have had the confidence to go forward with freelancing and I'm so glad I did. Additionally, I needed assistance with my portfolio and understanding the UX job market. Unfortunately, I can't speak too much to the coursework because 2020 continues to be a trying year, resulting in significant changes in my capacity.

Unfortunately, I can't speak too much to the coursework because 2020 continues to be a trying year, resulting in significant changes in my capacity. Nonetheless, I will say the staff at IDF were extremely understanding. As an IDF member, I'm taking some of the recommended coursework now, even though the bootcamp is over. The platform and itself is definitely a great resource and I'm happy to be a part of the community. - Kristal HernandezUX/UI • Graduate • UX Portfolio and Career Bootcamp • OnlineSep 12, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UX DESIGN BOOTCAMP
Even though I had other expectations of it, as I thought it would be more like an online class; my experience with their mentorship program was great. My mentor Hannah was awesome and she gave me great feedback. So if you’re good with a more independent study kind of program, this is the right bootcamp for you. - Kristine PhilliponiUX designer • Graduate • UX Portfolio and Career Bootcamp • OnlineSep 09, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Bootcamp
Much more affordable than other Bootcamps and more focused on developing a portfolio rather than didactic teaching. I think this is definitely more useful as you can learn the UX basics yourself from content in the web. The project briefs provided really guide you through the process of designing a well-researched case study. - IvettUX Visual Designer • Student • UX Portfolio and Career Bootcamp • OnlineSep 07, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UX BOOTCAMP
The IDF bootcamp was a great experience for me. I got a job within weeks of finishing my portfolio with a 35% pay increase. The mentorship was superb, very knowledgable with lots of years of experience in the field. I recommend this camp especially for anyone like myself who's transitioning from visual arts to UX. - Johna StoneDesigner • Graduate • UX Portfolio and Career Bootcamp • OnlineSep 07, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Wonderful Experience!
I came from a fashion design background with very little prior knowledge about UX/UI design, and I registered the Bootcamp with skepticism and just wanted to see if I would actually like it. I'm so glad I went with IDF UX Bootcamp, the price is very reasonable, and the mentor they paired me with is experienced and supportive, in the end, I was able to complete two solid UX case studies, which I feel confident to present to future job opportunities. I highly recommend the Interaction Desi...I came from a fashion design background with very little prior knowledge about UX/UI design, and I registered the Bootcamp with skepticism and just wanted to see if I would actually like it.

UX Design Bootcamp
This course was full of useful information - reading and videos. It is completely self paced. The school is extremely responsive if you have questions. I was given a choice of three mentors with different backgrounds. The case studies were helpful. I felt I had adequate sessions with my mentor. - Sébastien ChaineUX Designer • Graduate • UX Portfolio and Career Bootcamp • OnlineSep 06, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Definitely a great bootcamp for a reaonable price.
If you feel you know enough theory and wants to put it to practice, this is the place to be. You get to choose your mentor and he/she will support and help you in this short (8 weeks but intense journey. In the end, you'll have at least one full project to showcase in your portfolio. Now you just have to apply and get that new job!
Oh and, I almost forgot to mention, within the price is included access to IDF online courses...Definitely a great bootcamp for a reaonable price.
