CareerFoundry

The UX Design program at CareerFoundry has been incredible so far. It's self-paced which is super helpful, and the feedback is timely and always very productive. I have been pleased by my tutor and mentor's input and feel like I'm getting a quality education in the UX field.

CareerFoundry has been great at connecting me with excellent mentors and tutors as well as creating a community amoung the students. The course is constantly being made better and they really seem dedicated to the success of the students. I always receive great feedback and my confidence in UX and UI design has grown immensely! 

Overall great program. It sorts out all information available into meaningful groups. In the process it wasn‘t very clear why I‘m doing something but now at the end it makes all sense. Thankfully I had mentor and tutor and they were always there for me, answered all my questions and I was often confused. I love student advisors as much! They always understood me well snd helped me every time!

I've had such a life-changing experience with CareerFoundry's UI Design course. Studying UI design has, for the first time, given me motivation to pursue something creative in my career. Their exercises are clear and straightforward with examples and step-by-step walkthroughs. Their tutors and mentors give great constructive, supportive, and encouraging feedback. And the whole course is designed to build your portfolio with the tools and processes you need to land a job immediately after. Couldn't recommend it enough. 

The coursework is easy to pick up for me, I have a minimal background in coding and graphic design. It's clear in the community groups that the data analytics program is brand new. The career services zoom calls center more on the UX/UI coursework and much of the slack group is filled with UI/UX tasks and requests for survey submission. My mentor and tutor are great at giving feedback and responding promptly to my submissions. There is no specialty track for data analytics yet but I've heard it's in development. The specialty course would be very helpful for people like me that have no clue what industry they want to get into upon completion. Overall the price and the tutor/mentor relationship are great. The program could use more community involvement for data analytics students.

After 3 years in the entertainment industry, I felt out of touch with my self and my career choices. I began doing research on creative jobs in tech - a field I've always admired. CareerFoundry had a blog post comparing UX bootcamps, and humbly showcased other worthy options before selling themselves. After comparing a number of choices, it was obvious CareerFoundry truly cared about career-changers like me, who require hands on assistance, detailed course lessons, yet a flexible pace. I'm so happy with my decision to take CareerFoundry's UX Design Course, and can't wait to solve meaningful problems in my new career! 

UX/UI Design Course

So far I'm liking the course to some degree. Although I don't love the format of the curriculum and think that it could be updated in parts. But as long as this course helps me with my career goals than it will be worth it for me, which I will know in a couple months when I start searching for jobs.

Excellent and interesting!

I think the material is not up to date and some exercises feel like they are there just to make the course longer. 

I just completed my UX Design Course (Intro + Immersion) I worked on for the last five months. I am very happy that I found this UX design school and would definitely recommend it. The best part is that you work with a mentor, a tutor, and a career specialist (when doing the job preparation course) and it's all about your specific career development, skills, and experiences.  So like a whole team for your development ;) You have to complete a bunch of tasks but can study on your own (whenever you want as there a no live classes) and it's really practical. At the end, you have a nice portfolio on top ;) 

CareerFoundry have given me the skills and support needed for my career change. I can’t recommend them enough. I’m absolutely loving the course. 

It was a wonderful experience, I really appreciate all the support I got from the team.

The course overall feels pretty good. I learned a lot here. Teachers office hour is basically unlimited. You can ask them to review anything you want. However, There are a few drawbacks. First, the course is not as long as they described. You should be able to finish full time within 4 month( the entire course). Second, the community is not very supportive. It is hard to find people to participate in your research. Lastly, most content is words, instead of videos, so it is a personal preference: whether you like reading text or watching videos. I feel that I am more focused reading the text, so it is ok.

The course itself is quite complete, I really liked that it has a whole chapter on UX design, which gives us a better understanding of the whole creation process.
Although I did a little test about the course, it was not clear to me that the course is basically all reading and links that lead to more reading. Many times I couldn't understand some things and I had to look for other sources like You Tube. We know that a human being cannot stay focused for long, so it would be nice to have more video tutorials and, why not once in a while interaction with the other students (optional).
I want to emphasize that the assistance of tutors and mentors is a plus, having the backing of a professional in the area makes all the difference.

Love the UI Immersion course so far. The resources provided are very helpful! The online course is easy to follow and the mentors and tutors are very eager to help. 

I have already passed half the course, and so far I have only had positive experiences! The course is very well structured, both in terms of content and student support (perhaps the CarrerFoundry differential). My mentor and tutor are always available to answer questions, I have weekly calls with my mentor to talk about the progress of my achievements. Both respond very quickly, always. I definitely recommend it!

I’m currently enrolled in the UX Design course with Career Foundry. Prior to this I spoke to a friend who had also completed the course and overall had mainly positive things to say about it.

I find the curriculum good - some of the tasks here and there feel somewhat pointless given the lack of “real world setting” and its more of a thought experiment in terms of “imagine you’re on a larger team with different stakeholders” - but overall I’m quite happy with the new input and methodologies I’ve been learning so far.

As an already established professional with almost a decade of experience within creative industries under my belt, I decided to take this course as a means of upskilling. One thing I’d have to point out though is that CareerFoundry’s UX Design course many times seems more strongly geared towards recent college graduates or people very early on in their career path. 

While overall I do enjoy the experience, the UX course is perhaps a stronger fit for people wanting to start a UX Design career from a very entry level job. Not a bad thing at all - just something to be aware of in regards to managing ones own expectations!

The UX Design course was a really great experience, the tutors and mentors really know the topics and I found that they pushed me to go further and take an extra step which helped me feel engaged and also deepened my understanding and importance of UX. I was hesitant at first but now as I am nearing completion, I feel very confident in my future. Thank you all at Career Foundry! 

I love this course. I'm learning so much and feel a little more at ease changing careers. My tutor & mentor are amazing, and when I start the job prep course, I'm 100% sure my career advisors will be great as well. I highly recommend this course if ur thinking about a job in UX Design.
