    Fascinating, engaging, and informative.

    I've felt supported throughout the entire experience. The lessons are structured in a way that keep me interested and make it easy to retain the information given. The expected pacing is reasonable even for people working full time, and the opportunity to rush ahead or slow down at my own pace removes the stress of arbitrary deadlines that many other schools have. The feedback I receive on assignments is useful, actionable, and encouraging. My instructors have answered all my questions a...

    Learning in a flexible online environment

    I’m enjoying learning UX through CareerFoundry. The flexible model works really well for me since I can take a break if work/personal life is busy and make up for it when I have more time. Learning oline can be a bit lonely though especially when it involves tasks usually completed in teams like user research. I have found it helpful to go to mentor when I’m feeling lonely/unmotivated. The mentor/tutor model has been good.
