UX Design Course
I have started to UX Design Program. It is not even my second month yet but I have learned a lot. My favorite part of it is its flexibility and how my mentor and tutor are always there to help with any question in my mind. It is a career path that is designed just for us so I would suggest it to anyone who is interested. -

A career-building course that works
Super focused career-building course, teaching the things that actually work. With help from a tutor, a mentor, and several student advisors, an answer is only ever a message and just a few hours away. The structure and tools to keep up with the course at your own pace really support a self-learn experience that can be done even while working a full-time job. -

I'm halfway through the UX Design course and am learning a lot. Prior to the course, I had a small amount knowledge of UX Design through my past job and this course has helped me understand it much more, particularly with the tools we used in User Research, so I can see how it can be applied to a real-life UX role. I like the structure and consistent pace of the course as well as working on the project. My tutor and mentor respond to me in good time and I find the mentor sessions valuable, encouraging and supportive.
I'd really recommend it particularly if you can put all your efforts into it. I'm currently working full-time as well as studying and have found it challenging but it's completely doable if you're very focused and keep the balance. -

UX/UI Design Immersion Course Review
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I am a little over halfway through the CareerFoundry UX Immersion course and am enjoying it. The course provides a great foundation on which to build. Like any remote, self-paced program, you will get out of it exactly what you put into it. I am enjoying taking the time to learn different programs, working through the frustrations of growth, and figuring it out. They are definitely not going to do it for you which is as it should be! The tutors and mentors are great resources and be prepared to prepare and ask a lot of questions. -

I started my UX/UI design classes with career foundry and I am glad I did, I am learning a lot and we have a wonderful support throughout the Courses. I am only steps away from getting my certificate and looking forward for new dream and new career. Even though I did not have any tech background but the UX Design course with career foundry is designed to teach you right from the very beginning and it is flexible paced program. I also enjoyed a great and helpful tutor and mentor that are their to help me and guide me throughout the course and motivate me when needed. -

The course is structured and doesn't make you feel overwhelmed. Each chapter requires you to do a task, which makes the course practical as it makes you think. Slack communities are also really helpful particularly when it comes to getting participants for your task, as this also gives you the opportunity to connect with other students. We also have a tutor and a mentor to help you throughout the course and at the end of the course, we are assigned with a career specialist to help us with our job hunt.
However, the course allows having a call with your mentors only. As most of the time, you are engaging with your tutor I think it will be really meaningful to have a call session with your tutor as well. -

CareerFoundry will be so worth it if you are dedicated and put effort into it. You have access to great support system like the mentors and the student community but don't expect anyone to walk you through everything step by step. You'll get what you put into it. But the system itself is well organized and I'm grateful I had amazing mentors, especially the career specialist! -

I have been taking the UX Design Course for 7 months. It is great because the coursework is self paced, and you can go as in-depth as you want to into a subject. I also like the real human support from my mentor, tutor, and career specialist. -

Quite happy about the CF UX Design course
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
The curriculum covers pretty much everything to start understanding stuff enough to go independent in deepening the knowledge. The tutoring and mentoring experience received improvement upon request and the conditions are pretty fair. Communicating with CF is pretty fast (it never took longer than 24hrs to get an answer). In February when I was looking for a course, they seemed the best for me and while I don't know what other courses really offer, I'm satisfied so far. Curious to see how the Career Counselling goes. -

I have started Careerfundry’s course last November. I have gained so much confidence from my mentor and tutor. I really enjoy learning and doing what I really love, which is UX design. I can see Careerfundry is going to help me to get the job I always wanted especially with their job preparation program, their customers services, course structures are all very much appreciated. -

This course has not been what I expected. Neither the tutoring nor mentoring has met expectations, and the course content hasn't been anything special either.
I haven't enjoyed using the platform either. The chat function is frustrating and audio functionality for the text is poor.Victoria of CareerFoundry

Since March 29th, 2021 I opted in for a UX design course in CareerFoundry I have found it absolutely amazing. I love the structure of the course - they are well detailed and easy to understand. However, my Mentor and Tutor guiding me through this program have been helpful. They are intelligent, experienced, and time conscious to correcting of course tasks. I would recommend careerFoundry to prospective students irrespective of the choice of program. Moreover, the opportunity of supporting students to achieve his/her dream job. That means if you're unemployed and you are looking for an educative platform that will make your dream come through- CareerFoundry is the best for YOU! -

UX Designer course
Very supportive and helpful. Responses are very fast, most of time within 48 hours. Need a little spontaneous studying to use some software which they do but cover in the curriculum but Mentor always helps a lot. Very recommend to all of you who are interested in UX Design. -

Great curriculum!
This course is so well structured. With every task, you learn new skills in order to start slowly building your understanding of UX. It's so easy to follow and great if you are a beginner. The consistent feedback from a tutor also really helps! Would recommend it for anyone looking to delve into the world of UX!! -

Intro to Data Analytics
I'm nearly finished with my CareerFoundry Intro to Data Analytics course. It's been a great exploration of the fundamentals of conducting a descriptive analysis, and using Excel. The quality of feedback from my tutor has been incredible, and I've loved the relevant, contemporary examples used in the curriculum. -

Don't do Web Dev course, Do UX/UI!
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
Pros:
- Website: Ok
- Service: Helpful and quick reply. But when about job related? Sadly not good due to different local market
- Slack community: Met some interesting fellows
Cons:
- Curriculum: Not good enough to get a junior position. Video explanation? The instruction is too plain / strong accent - hardly to understand sometimes. Too much writing and quite confusing sometimes.
- Job preparation: Too strict and too American way. Can't help much to get job locally.
- Job guarantee: Possible, if you are willing to start unpaid internship or earning super mega low salary (not enough monthly living)
Suggestion: Do free online source - as employers don't ask for certificate at the end. If someone want to do a course at Careerfoundry, they should do UX/UI course - they are very good for this. But not other courses.Victoria of CareerFoundry

Well supported UX Program
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
The best part of the UX Design Program with CareerFoundry (and what made me choose them), is that you can choose your own pace. You have a deadline, true, but it´s established doing the minimum weekly hours of study.
Also important is that you spend all the time during your program working on practical projects. So yes, there is a lot to read and digest, but putting everything automatically into practice makes it much more dynamic. Not only that, you are building your portfolio from the very first day.
They offer support through a Tutor and a Mentor during the whole Program, which is amazing to avoid the feeling of being "alone" the whole way. They can answer your questions and give you a hand when you get stuck. The only thing to mention here is that I have seen different kinds or levels of support and commitment between Tutors/Mentors of different students. This human difference can create as well a big difference in the experience that each student has through the program. However, the Bootcamp has an Advisor Team that is available for issues like this.
The overall experience for a person that has no previous knowledge in the field is quite positive. Sometimes the content of each lesson could be polished to be more consistent in between the different steps of the lessons, or even through the progress of the personal project, but I am aware that they are constantly improving it.
A more than positive experience!

So happy
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I took a chance on this course after thinking about changing careers for so long. Before making my decision I spoke to a representative from Career Foundry and an online school in my area in Colorado. Career Foundry offered more flexibility, they were approachable, and have been so caring during my course. I feel they look out for their students throughout the course. I really enjoy getting feedback from my tutor and mentor because they know what is needed from students in the industry and are on top of UI trends. -

A comprehensive UI Design Course!
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
As someone working in the UX design field, I wanted to expand my skill set and learn more about UI (I already had some fundamental knowledge, but wanted a more of a deep-dive experience). The course gave me exactly what I expected. I also received a lot of feedback and support from my mentor and tutor -- this was extremely valuable for me!
Since I wasn’t looking for a job, I didn’t take advantage of the career support offered on the course, but have no doubt that if I had, it would have been as great as all the other services offered. -

From Data Science to UX Design
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
The UX Design Program with CareerFoundry allowed me to successfully transition into the UX design field without any prior knowledge on UX.
I’ve studied and worked in the data science field for many years before I decided that I want to change my career path where my creative and visual aspirations could be met. The career change process wasn’t easy for me, as I’ve already reached a certain seniority level in the data science field and starting from scratch in a new role meant not only needing to learn a lot of new information/concepts, but also a step back salary-wise.
The main reason why I’ve decided to go with CareerFoundry’s program was because it allowed me to learn a new skill while continuing to work at a full-time job. This flexibility was exactly what I needed. Additionally, I was intrigued by the 1-on-1 mentorship support provided.
Overall, I am more than satisfied with my experience at CareerFoundry. Not only did I enjoy the learning process, but I also got all the qualifications needed to get a new job -- I got an offer as a UX researcher shortly after graduating. -

Really enjoyable entry into UI design!
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
This was a really great starting point for someone completely new to UI design — like myself!
By the end of the course I had a set of pixel-perfect mockups for a pretty sweet looking travel app. I worked predominantly with Sketch (but there was also the option to use Adobe XD).
I think what made the course so good was the seamless interaction with my CareerFoundry mentor and tutor — they really gave a lot of valuable tips and feedback — but also insights into life as a UI designer working in the field. I also think the live events that CareerFoundry hosts are pretty inspiring, and there's a genuine sense of community and support.
Would totally recommend :) -

UI Design Program
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
My mentors were great and very helpful. I finished my program in 3 months when on average, it can take people a year. I really worked hard in it and I know I did a great job because I loved my projects and designs, and so did my mentors. I believe they even used some of my work as examples to show future students. I really enjoyed the program and the tasks since I come from a design background. The whole reason why I joined the program was because one of the employees told me that CareerFoundry would send me all the jobs to apply to since when you look to apply, all the UI positions require experience. This was something I was concerned about because I didn't want to pay $6k of my hard-earned savings just to end up applying to a bunch of jobs that were way out of my league. Anyway, of course they didn't end up doing that and when I asked my job application mentor about that promise the employee had made me, he said there was no such thing. So it did end up being the worst possible outcome, which was still no UI job, no $6k, and no help from CareerFoundry. Do not sign up for this program. They taught me a lot, but that doesn't help me if I can't even get a job in the field. There are other programs that don't make you pay until you get a job, and in my situation you would've been better off learning the material yourself and saving your $6k to end up with no UI job anyway. Shoutout to Craig for being the best mentor though and really helping me to push myself. -

An exceptional example of online learning done well
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I have worked for a number of years in higher education, and have been part of numerous online learning projects. From my perspective, the CareerFoundry program is astonishingly well curated and presented, and has been very effective for me in learning a large number of new skills in a relatively short time. The course is well supported by dedicated and experienced teachers who look closely at all of your work, and you are constantly receiving feedback to help you learn and improve. The best part of the course design is that you really do learn by doing – there is very little theory-only content. You actually will make a lot of stuff throughout every part of the course, which not only feels like a great accomplishment but is also, in my experience, the most effective way to learn. I have learnt a ton on this course and would very highly recommend it.
I have only just begun the job assistance component so can't yet give it an honest review, but from what I have gathered so far it is also a very thorough part of the program and is well supported by dedicated career mentors. I expect this will be a fruitful part of the experience. -

UI course pushing you forward
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
In the Careerfoundry UI Course, I was able to learn further than what I learned on UI online tutorials.
I already know about UX, and it is filling exactly the gap I needed for changing careers. The course is well structured, and I have an amazing tutor and a wonderful mentor pushing me further to do better and better designs, taking me out of my comfort zone. Besides, you are then also part of a very active and supportive tech community.
I could not recommend this course more!
