    Don't waste your time

    I have taken the UX Immersion Program and am very disappointed with the curriculum. The course is designed to create pieces for your portfolio and if your aim is to have a generic project in a generic portfolio, you can easily find all the information you'd get from the $7000 CF program on free youtube videos. I'm currently in the Front-end Development specialisation section of the course (almost 90% of the way through) and am just being told to essentially copy-paste code language into ...

    UI design

    The course has a lot of really cool projects that really toss you into design. The curriculum readings are clear and pleasant, and cover a lot of material without too much reading time.

    UI Design Course Review

    To be honest with you guys. I scrolled down Instagram one day and saw this short little video from CareerFoundry that was a sponsored post and it went a little like: are you unemployed in Germany? And do you want to become a UI Designer? Little did I know that this is actually possible. The whole program really teaches you the knowledge and skills you need to learn the job. I never imagined I could do this from the comfort of my own home. Of course, this was also great timing, because I ...

    Best decision I've made

    I am halfway through the UX design course and have to say that I've learnt so much about the industry and most importantly about myself. The course is very well structured and students are given all the support they need by tutors and mentors. I would recommend career foundry in a heartbeat.

    UX Immersive Bootcamp Review

    I have thoroughly enjoyed my UX bootcamp through CareerFoundry. I was paired with a mentor who had 20+ years of experience in the field, and she provided invaluable feedback on my projects. After finishing my program, I feel that I am well-prepared for a career in UX. The UI specialization has deepened my skills and better prepared my portfolio. The CF Slack community is also very helpful and there are many job opportunities posted as well!

    Learn At Your Own Pace

    I am most of the way through career foundry's UX program. I started in February of this year (2022). What I like about the course is that it's much more thorough than the other UX boot camps. The other programs range from 1-3 months long. Career foundry is more like 5-8 months depending on your schedule. While you're still required to do a lot of learning outside of class to fully grasp the tools, the course does a good job laying out the fundamentals. You're assigned a tutor and a mento...

    Self paced with ample support

    I found career foundry to be very thoroughly designed self paced boot camp with ample amount of support from the tutor and mentors! From corrections to suggestions and then improvements to your projects they help you master the skills and tools. The job preparation at the end is another much appreciated part where they help you create/enhance the resume and portfolio and get you ready to land that job you are looking forward to work.
