    CareerFoundry's Excellent UX Course

    CareerFoundry has an excellent UX course. The content is immersive and easy to understand. Mostly reading with supplemental videos and students learn by doing assignments. Mentors and tutors are great. They respond timely and give valuable, tailored feedback. Student advisors keep. you connected to the community with regular updates and there is a slack channel to meet other students. Excellent value.

    Amazing UX bootcamp!

    CareerFoundry's approach to UX education sets you up for success and is well worth the money. The learning material is all well written and one by one the assignments help you build your portfolio while teaching you how to problem solve in the field of UX. I love my mentor because he always gives valuable feedback and is a great support system!

    Career Foundry

    I’m currently in the Immersion portion of the UX Design certificate program. My tutor and mentor are very helpful and provide me with feedback in less than 24 hours. 

    Throughout the course you are completing one large project, but can take the tools that you learning towards other case studies so that you have a full portfolio. I do wish that we had two complete projects in the end. 

    I’m looking forward to completing this program!

    CareerFoundry review

    CareerFoundry makes it easy to start a new career path through its well-structured achievements that are catered towards people with minimal knowledge of the new field they are entering. While completing the coursework, you also have a mentor and a career specialist with whom you work to make sure your long term goals stay attainable and to help you out with any questions you may have along the way. The course is constantly iterated, too, so improvements are made based on the changing dynamics of the field in addition to the feedback of students. I would recommend this for anyone looking to change careers or to bolster their current knowledge.

Got another mail saying there wont be any support during christmas week which was not told to me when I joined the course. I lost almost a month. Not recommeneded for someone who wants to finish the course to get a job.

    Exactly what I needed!

    I chose CareerFoundry over some other options because of the support staff, Mentor, Tutor, Advisors. They've been accessible, a wealth of information, and very encouraging and understanding. It's easy to move through the program as well. It's well thought out and easy to move through. It's offering what I need to feel confident transitioning to this new career and starting my job search. So far, I'm pleased with my choice and would recommend to friends.

    CareerFoundry Review

    The CareerFoundry UX Design program was one of the best choices I made when deciding on a bootcamp. The program is well paced and easy to understand. They make an intimidating career change process as easy as possible. The mentors they provide always go the extra mile to make sure you are getting all the support you need.
    Highly recommend this course.

    Very Well Organized.

    I registered for Data Analytics Program and I'm now enjoying it for a month.  I'm totally new in this field but all the course materials are very easy too follow, though some minor confusions and downloading issue from the external links.  I strongly recommend anyone who are willing to switch careers!

    UI IMMERSION PROGRAM

    I already have a design background and degree and soo excited about this program. I did enjoy the UI program itself and completed it in January 2022. Unfortunately, if you hope to find a job after this program (intern or entry-level), it's not as easy as they make it out to be and after being told how good my work is and I won't have any issues finding a role in this field. 
    I suggest completing the specialization course if you want any chance of a course refund  ( part of their Job Guarantee policy) if you do not land a job within the allotted time frame.  That is one thing I regret not completing, the animation specialization was not written as well as the UI course and I lost interest as it was too confusing to follow.  
    What it comes down to is, you will just not be job ready after the UI program unless you have a contact that helps you, it comes down to who you know basically. Currently, I am working in a completely unrelated field after being told that I do not have enough experience over and over after my final interview rounds.  Not sure if I will even try again for UI as much as I was hoping it just became quite discouraging especially after you invest your time and money into something with hopes of landing a job.

    An Intense, Focused, Fantastic Learning Experience

    I’m about 3 months into my UI course with CareerFoundry and I must say it is an excellent program that can be done by many people regardless of skill or previous experience. The platform is simple to use, the instructions are clear and detailed, and my tutor and mentor have helped me every step of the way. I have only had 1 issue regarding my mentoring, but it was resolved in a timely manner by my student advisors. I can confidently recommend this course to anyone looking to enter the design field or to further increase their qualifications.

    In depth Course

    The course has been fully in depth into each step of the UX design process and UX design career as a whole. Having the mentors each step of the way has been a nice tool and good practice. The course gives you all the tools to learn UX design but it is on you to learn new softwares and eventually build your profile up enough to show to potential employers. I haven’t finished the course fully just yet but so far I’ve enjoyed it!

    Really enjoying it!

    I'm a little under half-way into my Careerfoundry UI design course. I had some experience in illustration beforehand but none in UI design and I'm finding it a fantastic and informative learning experience. I love being able to go at my own pace and my mentor and tutor are incredibly helpful. My calls with my mentor in particular keep me motivated and give me confidence in my ability to get a job after this course. I haven't started the job prep course yet but I will soon!

    Fantastic community

    Hi. The level of support I am receiving from CareerFoundry has been great. The community and peers are wonderful. The mentors and tutors are top-notch as well! The thing is sometimes the coursework does not match the tasks itself. I'm only talking about the UX Immersion part of it. I don't think many programs will be perfect, but I think CareerFoundry hires great mentors for the students to feel confident in applying to jobs. I not only learned and am learning fantastic UX foundations, but also I'm learning a lot about myself as well. It's been a great ride. Moreover I highly suggest the Voice Specialization course because it's such a new area and CF actually offers it.

    Careerfoundry course evaluation

    I was afraid how big is the course & how i will finish all these achievements while keeping informations & skills i learned active and fresh at the same time, however, the course steps helped a lot to feel such confidence day after day.
    Tutor & mentor do amazing work to keep me on the right track.
    My only concern was about the way of describing achievement 2.1 statistical analysis, it needs more examples than context to understand ( i had to open other channels to get it right).
    Overall, i love the course.

    Thank you:)

    Loving it!

    It’s just been two months into the course  and I must say it has far exceeded my expectations. The content is so engaging and resourceful. We get a lot of support, direction and motivation from our teacher as well as mentor. Also the student advisors are always available in case of any concerns that we might have.The flexibility in the schedule is a boon especially for busy moms like myself. I am glad I decided to take up this course and I am hoping to ace it. 🙂

    Fun and Challenging

    Career foundry has been everything I thought it would be. As someone totally new to the data word it has been challenging and at times frustrating. While also incredibly exciting and thrilling overcoming all of the challenging obstacles that get thrown your way. What makes getting through those obstacles possible is the incredible and patient help you receive from your Mentor and Tutor. So far on my journey the most beneficial and valuable element is the advice and hands on knowledge I receive from my Mentor and Tutor team.

    The bootcamp I've Been Dreaming Of

    I am very happy with my user interface bootcamp with Career Foundry so far. Not only is the program well constructed and flexible, but the staff is great too. Student advisors are supportive, helpful, and efficient. The mentors have given me so much insightful critiques and industry insights. I always feel so much better after chatting with with my tutor or mentor when I get stumped on something. I feel very lucky to get to work with them. It is a breath of fresh air to work with those who are enthusiastic, pleasant, and helpful. The classes are constructed in a great way, I never feel like I am wasting my time. Solo projects can be put into your portfolio and every task is teaching you fundamentals of the industry. Career Foundry does a great job of going the extra mile and giving resources, readings, tutorials, and webinars. Overall, great experience, and I feel confident that with hard work, this bootcamp is setting up their students to succeed.
