    I do the UI design course, I am in the middle of the course and so far an amazing experience. Mentors what I can call weekly, tutor who reviews evry task, gives hints and tips. The Plattform is also nice good overview. If there is any problem there is also email support. Overall a great experience so far.

    The best choice to study UX Design

    I really enjoy my time studying at CareerFoundry. The curriculum has a very good structure, and the knowledge I get when studying here really helped me when I did my UX internship. My mentor and tutor are both very knowledgeable, supportive, and their feedbacks are of high quality. I can feel that they really care about my progress. The student advisor team are also responsive in taking care of my complaints. In conclusion, I warmly recommend CareerFoundry to those who want to learn or even shift career to UX Design. :)

    Honestly great for people with busy schedules || Intro to UI

    Really great since I can do things on my time. The only downside I can think of is that you’re not with a class. But there is a “community page” where you’ll see a whole bunch of students in a bunch of different classes asking for help and giving help as well. It’s honestly not that big of a deal if you’re someone who doesn’t need constant contact when learning. Overall though it’s been fun. I’m only finishing up the intro course so I can’t wait to finish the full immersion course. Also fyi I definitely could’ve finished this month long intro course in about 2 weeks, so if you’re someone who likes to “rush through” these things I recommend as well.

    Great course, lots of knowledge in short time!

    I'm having a great time doing the course. It's all very new to me but I think they're doing a good job teaching us those completely new things and there's great teamwork in Slack with the other students. I've found friends, I feel great learning new things I never thought I vijld learn. I think maybe some tasks could be clearer in what it really is about but all in all it's going great and I'm excited!

    UX Design course

    I really liked the curse. It was thorough and I believe it gave me a very good foundation for a UX career. The only adjustment I'd make is a little bit more interactivity and cooperation - with fellow students, orher stakeholders, even real clients.

    I would definitely recommend to anyone considering a career change.

    When I decided to change my career, I researched and compared all online boot camps. Then I have decided to take training from Careerfoundry. I have never had any regrets so far, I had some question marks before joining this education about online education, but I can say that the training has been very instructive because it was very well structured and with the invaluable support I received from my tutors and mentors. Although I still have time to finish my course, I have learned a lot already. I can say that CareerFoundry has a great team where you can find support in every aspect and you can be sure that it will prepare you for the sector is a great way before you enter the sector.

    CF - course evaluation - JA

    The overall experience with the course is satisfying, as there is only so much you can teach to students in a short amount of time.
    I feel however that you course hasn't given me the self-confidence (yet) to be able to write my own codes. As I progressed along the exercises, I was able to understand what the codes do but I don't feel able to write an application by myself.
    In the beginning I also had problems with mentor/tutor responce time, especially over the weekends. Right now my tutor is amazing but my mentor's technical support/knowledge could be much better.

    Perfect course for beginner or advanced!

    The course I am doing at CareerFoundry is UI Design. I am a graphic designer so I have some experience in the design field already. The course however is aimed towards all people, which is perfect because I get to relearn a few things that might have been in the far back of my mind. I get a refresher every exercise and I learn something new as well. The pace of the course can be as fast as you want it to be, which is great for me because I'm not tied to a desk from 9-5 to do the course. I can easily do it from the comfort of my couch at night or whenever/however I want. 

    They take feedback seriously. You can leave feedback for anything on the course from the exercise to the tutor or mentor you're assigned. There is always someone there to help you. I am doing the course with a Bildungsgutschein via the Agentur für Arbeit in Germany. And CareerFoundry has helped me through every step of the way in order for me to join the course without having to pay anything myself. I'm most excited to build up my portfolio, for which I will get guidance from my mentor and will be able to build from the exercises I'm doing. They also help you with finding a job afterwards and you can prep yourself with the Job Preparation course they provide once you're halfway done with your course.  

    I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who is searching for a career change, or wants to skill up in their field. So far I'm very happy with the course.

    UI Design Program

    I am currently in the UI Design Program and almost two months away from graduating! I had no knowledge or experience in design. I mean, actually nothing. The start of the CF program was a great ease into what UI/UX is and background information of how we apply it in the real world while bringing out my creative talents. The course offers well-organized structure and informative resources along with the best guidance! I am lucky to have a patient, smart, and talented tutor and mentor who has helped me answer any HONEST questions/feedback throughout the course. I am looking forward to the final steps (job hunting, wish me luck!) of the program.

    I'm taking the UX Design program and I really like it. The courses are well-structured and flexible. My mentor, tutor and course advisors are kind and supportive.
    I sometimes feel pressured by the end date of the program, but for others it may be a good factor to keep them focused on the study.

    UX design course - The best choice I made!

    I started my UX design course at CareerFoundry on March 2021. 
    I wasn’t sure what I was getting into and wasn’t sure if I was making the right choice. 
    Upon looking through the options online, I came across CareerFoundry. Not only did they have a great curriculum but also they offered payment options which helped me ALOT to get myself started without having to put time a big chunk of money in the beginning. The associate whom i have phone call with before I made my decision was very nice and walked me through the program. I have spoken to several other program’s associates by that time and each time I felt a little rushed and they almost sounded like they didn’t care much about the struggles I was going through while trying to make which could be a life changing decision. However, with CareerFoundry, i felt welcomed and assured that they will help me every step of the way. 
    After I made my decision to go to CareerFoundry, i started my program. Unfortunately, I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the tutor I was assigned to. When I shared my thoughts with the Academic Counselor, she re-assigned the tutor which I’m absolutely happy with. This re-assured me that CareerFoundry cares about their students and willing to help out when needed. 
    I’m very satisfied with my tutor and mentor that CareerFoundry assigned me to.
    My tutor is Levi Schubkegel and Mentor is Sagan Markley. Levi gives such a great, insightful and encouraging feedbacks whenever I turned in my tasks and when I ask questions, he gives such a helpful answers and makes it easier for me to understand. My mentor, Sagan, also gives me awesome and encouraging feedbacks whenever I turn in my work. One of the best thing about CareerFoundry is that I get to schedule unlimited phone call meetings with my mentor. I’ve been talking to Sagan whenever I have a chance and I’ve been enjoying every minute of the meeting! Every time I’m in the meeting with her, i get to hear and learn things I wouldn’t have been able to find out myself which I believe is something super important and valuable. She’s also very encouraging which make me feel less overwhelmed with this transitioning. 
    Courses at CareerFoundry are well-structured and I like the fact that I can go back to the course materials even after I’m done with the program. 
    I believe that I made such a good decision my choosing CareerFoundry.

    Highly recommended!

    I'm doing the UX design program and I must say I'm learning a lot. My tutor and mentor are amazing, I don't know how they manage to do it but they respond to any of my questions very quickly at any time of the day! So it is even handier than a presential couse. 
    I'm learning as I am working on a project, it is not just theory, most of the course is about creating your own project. I am learning while creating and while making mistakes, and I think this is the best way. I remember my university days when most of it was studying and taking exams. Here is all about creating a real project. 

    I must say that sometimes can be hard, you have to put a lot of work into it, but it is completely worth it. My tutor and mentor help me a lot, and with all this hard work I feel confident about my project, it'll be something worth putting in my portfolio. 

    Again, I recommend the course, just put all your effort into it to take the best of it.
