    UX Design Program: Practical + Amazing Mentorship

    I am part way through the UX Design Program with CareerFoundry. The structure of the course is great. In the first month, you do an "Intro to UX Design": a top-level exploration of everything you're going to learn in the course. You get to develop user interviews, user personas, build wireframes, interactive prototypes, testing etc. But it's not until the immersion part of the course that you dig deeper into each area, and consolidate your learning. This program presents all information in an easy to understand way. There is written text, example videos, additional readings, exercises, quizzes - but most importantly - fantastic mentors and tutors. While you need a lot of self-discipline to complete the work - my mentor has been so motivating, helpful and just generally great to talk to. We have regular video calls, and I always feel inspired afterwards (and clearer about what I'm supposed to be doing). I find it challenging to get through the work - but it is so interesting, and I feel like CareerFoundry could not be more supportive in helping you achieve your goals. The Slack community is also excellent - I have learnt so much from current and past graduates - and it's a great way to network. Would definitely recommend this course to others.

    Ux Design

    I was on the Ux Design course and coming from a UI Design Background. After the course and while Covid, I found two Jobs. The first one was a UX UI Design Role in a small Agency but it doesn’t fit with me and the second one is a Junior Product Design Role at SinnerSchrader - Part oft Accenture Interactive where I work since March 2021.

    UX Immersion review

    CareerFoundry was my choice for a career change. Due to Covid-19, my professional occupancy was no longer viable and the time came to take a leap.
    Never I felt lack of support either from the Students Advisors, and specially from my Tutor and my Mentor. I finished my course 5 months ahead of time, which allowed me to find a job sooner than expected. 
    The curriculum is broad and covers very deeply all the aspects of UX. I would just introduce a few lessons about UI, specifically software learning. Some tasks require UI skills that will have impact on a future portfolio. 
    If at any given point of my career, I find myself looking for a specialization course or just to keep updated, CareerFoundry will be definitely my first choice.

    UI Design - ex student

    I enrolled in the UI Design course of Careerfoundry on December 2019 and I finished up the Bootcamp in December 2020, while working full-time. 
    In the beginning, I was afraid not to be good enough because I have never studied design before the course, and I didn't have any experience in the field, but as soon as I joined the Bootcamp I met many people all over the world like me, and I received all the support I needed from my tutor, my mentor and my career coach, too. 
    With the course, I learned how to do UI and the fundamentals of UX Design while developing my own projects, continually receiving feedback from my committees, tutor and mentor.   
    It has been a very long journey, of course, I happened to lose motivation but I tried to do my best and keep myself concentrated without losing my scope: change my career. 
    In fact, 3 months after finishing the course, I received 2 (!) job offers from different companies. Now I have a job I love, and I am gaining more money than before. I also gained more free time having more flexibility and a remote-friendly job.   :)

    My experience at CareerFoundry has been great! A caring onboarding team made the registration process quick and easy! My tutor and mentor have been a wealth of knowledge and encouragement. I am enrolled in the UI Design course and I've been enjoying every lesson, learning as much as I can, submitting tasks, learning from my mistakes, and completing my achievements. I am excited to see where my CareerFoundry journey takes me!

    Landed Web Developer Job Before Graduation

    CareerFoundry is a phenomenal bootcamp that got me hired before I finished the program.  I came into the program with some previous education and some volunteer experience.  I learned far more in my time with CF than I had in years of self-study.  Having a clear, concise, and well thought out curriculum made all the difference.  In addition the CF slack community helped me make great connections and relationships.  I was hired through their slack community job board around halfway into the program and their curriculum has already been invaluable on the job.  My mentor and tutor were both incredibly encouraging and helpful.

    I had a great experience with CareerFoundry. The online lessons were easy to follow, yet very informational and relevant. They assign you a tutor and a mentor, which I found to be very helpful to bridge the gap of online learning. I learned so much more than I would have on my own. I also elected to do the career prep course which they offered at no additional cost- this I found to be beneficial in building my portfolio, resume, and confidence in starting my new career. I am happy to say, that because of CareerFoundry, I was able to begin a new career in UI.

    Best decision enrolling with CF

    The course with careerfoundry is outstanding, everything needed to prepare for being a UX designer is covered. There is very valuable feedback provided throughout from both a tutor & a mentor. Although it is possible to work at the pace most suitable, there is a great progress bar alongside time passed on the course, to ensure you never fall behind. I have really enjoyed working on the projects so far, and I will be very prepared, with a polished portfolio by the end of this course.

    UI Design. Learning with love.

    A learnable, multitasking and comfortable course that allows students to push their skills to the maximum and enrich their curiosity day after day. Apart from the rich and understandable contents, apart from the right way of teaching (step by step and with a lot of practice) I fell in love with the people around this course: always willing to improve your work with passion and always willing to make you feel welcome in the family ... This vibration generates the best wave to find connections, it makes you want to learn and be part of this fantastic world.

    I'm really learning a lot with the UX course. Getting out of my comfort zone is not easy. I'm 27 years IT person and changing the direction of my professional life is not only a challenge but it's a necessity for me because I see my area struggling because of the same ideas for so long. UX is a new, refreshing, and very appealing area that I'm investing time and money and I believe it's worth it.

    UX Designer Full Time Course

    I'm in my 4th month of the UX Designer Course with CareerFoundry. From the beginning on, the support and provided assistance during the application and during the course has been just awesome! The course itself is very well structured and CF definitely figured out the good way between the theory and practical parts. The theory is kept rather on the shorter side - readings are between 20-40 minutes (not included the optional resources). They stress on practical parts (tasks) and this is where I see the huge benefit of doing it that way - in 4 months I could not only learn fundamental things about UX but also build my practical skills while working on a course project.

    Tutors and mentors are crucial to stay on track, get help, and insides on the real-life as UX Designer - I got really amazing tutor and mentor who have been assisting me with all my questions etc. The tone is super friendly and engaging. I really appreciate that.

    Furthermore, students are able to network with other students, graduates, and professionals via slack, FB group, and Linkedin. I personally see it as a great benefit here and have already been successfully networking with others.

    All in all - CF is a great company and does exactly what I was expecting after studying their offer.

    Best decision I’ve made in years

    I compared lots of different UX courses before settling for Career Foundry and am so happy I did. The mentors and tutors are always available to speak to and get back within minutes/hours, tasks are manageable yet challenging and I never thought I would enjoy doing something so much. Deciding to go into UX is the best decision I’ve made in years and although I cannot wait to start my first job as UX designer, I would be sad for the course to finish because it’s such a good feeling to realise you’re really learning something and making progress. Highly recommend!
