CareerFoundry

A fantastic dive into the techniques and best practices of the UX designer.

As a student with no background in web development & coding in general, I feel CareerFoundry is the best choice I have ever made. The curriculum is very well organised, I was skeptical at first when I knew it was online but when I started the course I felt involved in the course more than ever, there's so much to learn and to practice that you don't feel the time pass by and you just want to finish one task and start another.  
My tutor and mentor are people who you look up to they are always there to help, give advices and guide me through my coding journey. 
The Student advisors are very welcoming and they always keep contact through encouraging emails. 
I encourage anyone who is interested in coding to take Full-Stack Web development course at CareerFoundry you won't regret it! 

I'm very happy I've chosen CareerFoundry for the start of my UI career. 
It's not only easily accessible and can be done from any corner of the world, but its program is covering if not all, but the most important topics of UI/UX design.

I love the way the course is organised and planned. The platform can be tricky sometimes, but it's very well-planned and easy to use, compared to many other online education platforms I've tried before.

Daily you have a team of course advisors, mentor and a tutor behind you, ready to help you to solve all your queries. 

But the most important, I think is the course program and its coverage. You end up getting most important info that will help you in your career. Here everything depends on you, but many of my friends or course buddies ended up landing a job, not even finishing the course first! It tells something about it, right?

Check it out for yourself and good luck! 

As a career changer, I have found CareerFoundry to be absolutely amazing. The instructors are so knowledgeable and helpful, and you really feel encouraged to work hard. The course is self paced so even if you’re busy you can still find time to study. Each task is super interesting and prepares you for real life scenarios/projects when you start working in your field. 

I am happy with my decision to attend CareerFoundry over the other high-ranking schools for UI Design. The class work is easy to read and understand, the work is a healthy challenge to complete (not too hard, but not so easy you get bored). The support has been amazing. My tutor is timely and encouraging, my mentor is local and extremely helpful, and I just met my career specialist who was very understanding and intuitive to my work position. I would definitely recommend this school to others interested in learning UI or UX Design.

I have been so extremely grateful for the team at CareerFoundry! My tutor Rachel is so kind and helpful with her feedback (and always timely!). My mentor Sam has been so encouraging, I really appreciate his feedback on my achievements (the bigger portions of the project that he reviews). I would highly recommend CareerFoundry to anyone who needs the flexibility of online learning and is unable to attend live discussions. They have a HUGE slack community that is always at the ready to connect and offer support as well. The student services team has been very easy to communicate with about my timeline concerns when I had a family emergency. Overall, I am very happy thus far. I can't wait to finish and go through the job preparation section of the program. I have a good feeling that it will not disappoint.

I'm still not done my course yet but so far it has been great! I was on the fence of choosing between general assembly and UofT bootcamp but eventually decided on careerfoundry and I'm happy that I did. Having an mentor and tutor to support in your journey is very motivating and there is also a slack community where you can meet other people that are also taking the course. I would highly recommend this course as it has a job guarantee and a career specialist which other bootcamps don't have. 

I’m about to hit 7 months in my course snd i’m absolutely loving it! The curriculum is structured efficiently and the staff is absolutely amazing! 

It is my second month taking the UI Design course at CareerFoundry and I am loving it. I have previous experience in graphics and illustration and taking this course is adding a valuable set of skill that I think will allow me to grow and advance my career. The course is easy to follow and the Tutor is very helpful and responsive. Online learning with CareerFoundry has been great!

Career Foundry has put together a course that it is a very easy to follow. I had no previous experience in User Experience Design and find that I have evolved so much during the past 4 months.
I wish sometimes the exercises would be given more realistic time frames. I flew through some exercises and now with final design I feel like I am working all the time and still lagging behind. 
Overall a great experience and my mentor is superb! My tutor has also always given me very valued feedback :)

Course created for people who wants to change their career and start in the UX world

I have had a wonderful time with CF curriculum and tasks assigned. I am happy to know I've made the right decision with my career change, and I am proud to have gotten this far, and I look forward to working as a designer. 

CF student advisers are responsive, supportive, and thorough. They helped through a difficult time and made me feel confident about moving forward at my own pace. I have yet to start working with my job counselor, however the first meeting went very well.

Something that I have been struggling with is my outlook on the support and response from my tutor & mentor. 
Starting was fine, however further in the course I found that the feedback on my tasks seemed generic, and perhaps copy pasted, as one time my feedback had someone else's name on it. 
My mentor has been great, however it would be nice if mentors were able to kind of check in with their students, outside of the call. It creates for a little more motivation and confidence, especially for someone like me that is brand new to this field.
Overall, great experience so far, perhaps something to consider would be students per mentor and tutor so that they could be more thorough and be able to connect with their students on a more consistent level. 
Thank you CF, you've given me the opportunity to create a better future for myself, and for that I am very grateful!

The course is structured very logically, allows to build up your knowledge in the tech field step by step. What I really like, that there is a practical exercise after each theoreticall block, which gives me a better feeling that I am learning by doing and not just from reading the material. What I miss is technical details how to be better in visual design. This I might have to catch up from online tutorials. Regarding my tutor and mentor, they are really helpful, always ready to answer my questions. And they motivate me, which is important when you are a career  changer. 

I am immensely intrigued by my CareerFoundry experience so far. The guidance, support and patience is immaculate and I am happy with the experiences I make and how good and easy things are going- the texts are insightful, Resources are shared and the Feedback to submitted tasks are also super insightful. I am rarely being left behind and my mentor and tutor regularly check-in with me and make sure I don‘t fall behind or leave any valuable experience out.
All feedback is inspiring and never leaving me questioning my abilities, potential or sanity- the reasoning is great and I am so grateful!
I will gladly recommend CareerFoundry and especially the UX Design Programm to everyone who is willing to listen.

Introductory one month course to the UI immersion program - This introductory course fully prepared me for the UI immersion program. Having both a mentor and tutor who are extremely experienced and at my fingertips throughout the course sets this program apart. I highly recommend this course!

Really impressed with UX course as it contains UX immersion and specialization as well as job preparation.

CareerFoundry has been only a positive experience for me so far. The team responsiveness is just mind-blowing. Also, I have an amazing mentor that keeps checking on how am I doing.  The only thing that annoys me is listening to the audio format of the course 😊.

Very good experience. Really helped a lot. Curriculum is good. Job assistance was provided.

Very good and detailed course. My tutor and mentor are both amazing. They always have the answers if I get stuck. I cannot comment much on the job assistance as I am not there yet, but I am sure it'll be a great help in the job search so I give it a good rating in advance so I can submit this review. The only thing is as a feedback (not a negative one tho, just a mention) that CareerFoundry says with 20 hours of weekly work students can submit 2 tasks per week with more hours put into the course even more tasks can be submitted. I think it really depends on the past experience of the students. Students from design background may proceed quicker. I don't have a design background so for me it is a bit slower as some tasks take longer, however it is all great all in all, I am almost done with the immersion and my course project is coming together. Thanks you!!

The course is great. I feel well guided on my journey, the materials and the tasks are well thought out and the reviews are very helpful and engaging.
