    Fantastic Program

    The UX Design program at CareerFoundry has been incredible so far. It's self-paced which is super helpful, and the feedback is timely and always very productive. I have been pleased by my tutor and mentor's input and feel like I'm getting a quality education in the UX field.

    Great for future UX designers

    Overall great program. It sorts out all information available into meaningful groups. In the process it wasn‘t very clear why I‘m doing something but now at the end it makes all sense. Thankfully I had mentor and tutor and they were always there for me, answered all my questions and I was often confused. I love student advisors as much! They always understood me well snd helped me every time!

And the whole course is designed to build your portfolio with the tools and processes you need to land a job immediately after...

    Data analytics program

    The coursework is easy to pick up for me, I have a minimal background in coding and graphic design. It's clear in the community groups that the data analytics program is brand new. The career services zoom calls center more on the UX/UI coursework and much of the slack group is filled with UI/UX tasks and requests for survey submission. My mentor and tutor are great at giving feedback and responding promptly to my submissions. There is no specialty track for data analytics yet but I've h...

    Headfirst into UX Design with CareerFoundry

    After 3 years in the entertainment industry, I felt out of touch with my self and my career choices. I began doing research on creative jobs in tech - a field I've always admired. CareerFoundry had a blog post comparing UX bootcamps, and humbly showcased other worthy options before selling themselves. After comparing a number of choices, it was obvious CareerFoundry truly cared about career-changers like me, who require hands on assistance, detailed course lessons, yet a flexible pace. I...

    So far I'm liking the course to some degree. Although I don't love the format of the curriculum and think that it could be updated in parts. But as long as this course helps me with my career goals than it will be worth it for me, which I will know in a couple months when I start searching for jobs.

    I think the material is not up to date and some exercises feel like they are there just to make the course longer.

    UX Design Bootcamp CareerFoundry

    I just completed my UX Design Course (Intro + Immersion) I worked on for the last five months. I am very happy that I found this UX design school and would definitely recommend it. The best part is that you work with a mentor, a tutor, and a career specialist (when doing the job preparation course) and it's all about your specific career development, skills, and experiences.  So like a whole team for your development ;) You have to complete a bunch of tasks but can study on your own (whe...
