UX Design Program - Immersion
The UX Design course was a really great experience, the tutors and mentors really know the topics and I found that they pushed me to go further and take an extra step which helped me feel engaged and also deepened my understanding and importance of UX. I was hesitant at first but now as I am nearing completion, I feel very confident in my future. Thank you all at Career Foundry! -

Ux design course
I found it a good way to learn something new or even make a career change. All the lessons are easy to understand, besides that, you have extra informative material regarding the topic of the lesson, and you feel all the time support by the tutor and mentor, assigned to you since the beginning of the course. In general, I think it's a very complete course which I would recommend to others. -
Iris
Great course!

Karin
UX Immersion Course

I had a really good experience with Career Foundry. I was able to do the course through the German Agentur für Arbeit, which meant that I did not have to pay for the course myself. I worked on it an average of about 30hrs per week, and it took me 5.3 months to complete during which I also did some job shadowing at a start-up out our my own initiative.
I thought the content of the course was really great especially for a beginner in UX design. My background in Fashion design helped me a lot in the design part of the program, but it was really fantastic to learn about the different UX research methods and having to conduct my own user interviews and usability tests. What I liked about the course is that it gave me a goal and incentive to complete the tasks week by week. I would not have had the discipline to learn all the basics on my own.
The content was also structured in a really manageable way which clearly showed the design process. To this day I still look at some of the Career Foundry tasks when I start a new project because I have lifelong access to the course material.
Sometimes I expected a bit more constructive criticism during the course, because it felt almost everything I did was "approved". However, my tutor did help me on a couple of areas where I was struggling. That being said, the course was all about being exposed to the Human Centric Design approach and much of my "real learning experience" only happened when I started working on cases where the outcome actually mattered. The course was fantastic to lay the foundations for that.
I especially enjoyed working with my mentor because I could sense that he is really passionate about UX design and also about sharing his knowledge with students.
Another really great aspect of the course was the Job Prep part. I had a fantastic mentor that helped me tremendously to update my CV. It was especially helpful when I applied for my 2nd UX/UI job, as she was able to assist me in practising mock interviews and give me a lot of great tips on what to prepare for. I was surprised that this assistance was still available to me 1 year after completing the course, so kudos for that! I highly recommend anyone to do the job coaching part as this has taught me lifelong skills that I will use for every future job interview.

I have nothing but great things to say about CareerFoundry. My instructors have been amazing, in every way, throughout my time as a student, and that has been the most important aspect of my entire experience. CF has built a community of supportive, engaging, and friendly people that want nothing more than to help and guide you through the process of becoming the UX Designer (in my case) you are meant to be. -

UX Design Course at CareerFoundry (2020-2021)
Read more Read less of Aleksandra's review
I did the course between 2020 and 2021. I must say that this is one of the most support that I have ever had while learning a a new skill. The program is designed in a very holistic way, from the introduction to the career advisor. I don't think that I would be able to stay this engaged without having a mentor, a tutor and a whole student community. The mentor calls and direct feedback from the tutor are extremely helpful and help you learn quickly. You also have access to a multitude of webinars covering all of the parts of your career change process. I highly recommend this program. -

UI study
Though it’s all online, the support team is always available and tutors and mentors respond quick enough.
Curriculum is quite intensive for beginners, but platforms are clear and easy to understand with some videos and photos. -

Francesca Hearn
I feel like pro after just 3 months
I can’t stress enough how great this bootcamp is. I feel like a real designer and I’m not even finished with the bootcamp yet. The course is so detailed and covers so much without being confusing and overwhelming. My mentor, tutor, and career advisor have been fantastic and keep me focused and on track! -
Daniel
UX Design Program
I really enjoyed my experience in the UX design program with CF, I thought the curriculum was well established and the course was a good balance of engaging while still being challenging. I was particularly impressed by the variety of resources they offer (for example, a mentor for the UX course and a separate mentor for the job search) -

Making Me Confident
Read more Read less of Nick Poon's review
After making numerous comparisons on features, pricing, and payment methods, I decided upon CareerFoundry to start my UX design journey. I also need to add that the customer service rep who I was on a call with prior to registration was top notch and very helpful to allowing me to make an informed decision among the various options based in Toronto. Being someone who is switching career and with no design background whatsoever, CareerFoundry's student advisor, tutor, and mentor had been very helpful and encouraging. I realized that some of the topics may seem too bite size for people with some design background. However, the overall curriculum had been very helpful for my progress to becoming a UX designer. One thing that to keep in mind is that the curriculum offered at CareerFoundry is self-paced with occasional reminders from student advisor if you're off track. This is not something for those with a lack of self discipline or determination on making it as a UX designer. I have just started the job preparation course, so I cannot comment too much on the job assistance part but there is a job guarantee feature to the program (given that you stick to some of the requirements e.g. applying to 5 jobs each week after the design part of the program is done) To wrap things up, I can definitely tell that I'm making tremendous progress and while the future does feel uncertain for a career switcher like myself, I do feel more confident in my abilities and more comfortable to call myself a designer. -

Very solid teaching

I’m almost done with my courses at CareerFoundry, and I can say that my time here has been well spent. The course material is designed in a way that is more hands on, so while you’re learning, you’re building a portfolio at the same time. The mentors are very nice and helpful, and are always willing to book a video call. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants hands on experience as a UX designer. -
Ashley Niemiec
I’ve really enjoyed this!
This course has been really immersive and fun to complete. I love how attentive the teachers and mentors have been, as well as the advisors. -

Learning made easy

I'm already through 80% of the course and very happy with it. I had my doubts in the begging after not studying for many years, but the way the course is structured made it easy to learn everything. There's also a slack group with all the other students which makes the whole experience a little bit less lonely. In the group are also regular study buddy pairing sessions where you can find other students in your area so you can study together. -

I will definitely recommend it to anyone! -

I have been doing the 5,5 month-full-time UX Immersion course on Careerfoundry. What i really liked was the structure of the course, as well as the help from the tutor, who looks over each of your submitted tasks. He has always provided helpful feedback along the way. There is also a mentor who looks over each stages, which can be helpful as well since they are experts in the field. The course is very practical and there are many tasks to submit but worth it. -

UX Design Course

I've enrolled in the UX Design specialisation course on October 2020. At that time, I only had experience in UX writing and just a little about user research. A couple of friends of mine who previously studied at CareerFoundry suggested me to give it a try. And I must say that I won't regret the choice! The course is super well planned: you get a Tutor who follows you day by day and gives you additional insights for each assignment, and a Mentor who revisions every one of the 6 milestones and besides that gives you great advise about the industry and how to get ready for the job search. In my personal case, both the Tutor and the Mentor were great, and they played a huge part in making me become a UX Designer in less that 6 months. I still can't believe it! Furthermore, besides Tutor and Mentor, students are also followed by Student Advisors for any bureaucratic issues. Moreover, you get a special Mentor for your job search too, guiding you through all the stages of the job search: from building a killer resume to mock interviews. I highly recommend CareerFoundry to anyone who decides to specialise in UX and even to those who want to change career drastically. -

CareerFoundry is well-structured and super fast with helping out with any issue. The course is very easy to follow, but also challenging with its tasks. So one truly learns a lot! -

Zero to Hero
Read more Read less of Doug Rush's review
I took this course with zero coding experience and after 4 months I really started to have a good understanding of what I was doing. I recommend CareerFoundry as they have good curriculum with good support, while making the course challenging enough to give you a thorough understanding of coding. It worked very well for me as it is 100% online and still fast-paced if you studied full-time.
My tutor was a great help as he was usually available and assisted me in a way where I could figure out the problem on my own. My mentor was also of good assistance and gave me a good understanding of what to expect in the course and upon graduation, as well as motivating me to not quit - which was enticing at times.
I was lost in the beginning but with time I quickly learned and never made the same mistakes again. I would also like to add I am a 27 yr old who never had a real job, beyond the army, entrepreneurship, and pig farming, so the course was perfect for me.

Great Intro to UI design course
Very friendly tutors and mentors. It was a great introduction to UI design and helpful in learning how to use Sketch to work on my project.
With these skills that I’ve learnt I’m able to make my own projects and practice further. -
Moritz Franzke
Career Change UI Design
Read more Read less of Moritz Franzke's review
I started the career change course just after I graduated in marketing, because while I still liked the idea of working in an agency and being able to express myself creatively through my work, I found that marketing just didn't do it for me.
I thought a lot about whether to really start the program or just try to teach myself everything there is to know about UI design but in the end I (obviously) decided to make the investment and start the UI design program at career foundry.
Up until now I do not regret my choice. Since I've not yet finished the program, I can't talk about my experience with their job assistance, but I do have the impression that they are really keen on holding their job-guarantee and will do everything in their power to help you on your search for your first job as a UI designer.
My mentor and especially my tutor are really nice people and do offer a lot of insights and great feedback. What struck me most is the speed with which tasks are reviewed and feedback is delivered. But I guess that will depend on who your tutor will be.
As far as the curriculum is concerned, I do enjoy the exercises and while not everything will be entirely new to everybody - depending on your current career and skills - it is a nice and complete package with all the essentials that an up and coming UI designer should know, plus some more.
Overall, I'd recommend the course to everybody who can afford it and is serious about becoming a professional UI designer. Especially if you are living in Europe, since I've got the feeling that the demand for good and savy UI designers is growing more and more; even with the pandemic not yet being over. -

CareerFoundry's Program Can't be Beat!
Read more Read less of Arielle's review
In 2020 I decided to change career paths into UX/UI. I live in Silicon Valley so I was in need of a program that was not just going to give me the certification I wanted, but also have a well-rounded in-depth curriculum. Sure, a well-known brand name school would seem great on paper, but I was searching for quality instruction.
CareerFoundry was the first school I came across and, right off the bat, I was impressed by their customer service and their non-sales approach. Their Admissions Representative answered all of my questions thoroughly on expectations, job search, salaries, etc. As a student I have found that this excellent customer service pervades all of CareerFoundry from their instructors to their student advisory team. Even though I am attending a remote, self-paced class, CareerFoundry's program feels as if you are getting all of the non-on-one attention that you need.
The curriculum is structured for many different learning styles. No only is the reading material no-nonsense and easily digestible, it is broken up with videos and exercises to practice what you learn. As I reach the end of the UX portion I find that I have a professional prototype to present to prospective employers. The Job Search portion of the course is designed to help you get clear on what you want and how to prepare for interviews. I've found that with all of my mentors, they are down to earth and have great insights from working in the field. I can't wait to dive into the UI specialization soon! Also, the price of CareerFoundry can't be beat! -

The course is generally very well ordered and structured. Even without previous design knowledge, you can complete it without worrying. However, some topics have been shortened due to time constraints. But, if you ask the tutor and mentor, you will receive extra articles or book recommendations to expand your knowledge if desired. It offers a lot of knowledge compressed into a short time and is therefore a great opportunity for a new start. -

I’m currently in the last months of doing the UI Design course with CareerFoundry.
What I liked:
- Flexible paced
- Well structured content
- Great tutor and mentor (they’re very helpful, replying on time and always pushing me to get the best results)
- Student advisors check in on you about timelines, motivation, support
- Big student community on slack
What to consider/could be better:
- It‘s 100% online, so you need to be able to push yourself
- It’s a lot to read, I wish there were more videos available
Overall I had a good experience! I learned a lot about UI/UX and the same time also about myself (what kind of designer I want to be).
