Best UX course ever
I am a student of the UX Course at Career Foundry, currently finishing up and I can only say good things about them. The theory is very complete and their tutors and mentors do a really good job helping you find your way,

UI Design
This is a great experience for anyone looking to make a career change. I have had a great mentor/tutor experience, and they have both been helpful in giving me valuable feedback and career advice. My mentor is also a graphic designer so we have talked about related skills such as branding and logo design. I think it’s a great program with good value.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Changed my life
I started CareerFoundry while working full time at a job I hated.. I was welcomed with open arms by my student advisors, mentor, and tutor. We may all be in different time zones but it never feels like it. They constantly have positive feedback and always provide help within 24-48 hours! I’m so happy I picked CF over the others. I’m so excited to start my new career change! CF gave me the skills to not only build a powerful portfolio but my confidence as well. Pick CareerFoundry if you have the chance.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

You can have nice tutor/mentor and well thought-out course
The tutor and mentor are skilled and helpful, and the course is organized very well.
You will learn everything about UX here, from design theories to practical testing. I also like I can proceed with my course at any paces. I'm satisfied with the course mostly and I feel it was worth paying expensive tuition. The only thing I wished was to develop the project with a team.
About job hunting, I see both students struggling with getting a job for a long time and students being hired very soon.
I'm still on the course so I cannot say overall experience is five stars.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Career Services
While working through the UX/UI program at CareerFoundry, I was paired with Neha Hurpaul for the Career Service portion of the program. Neha was amazing to work with, and is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to job prep. Any time I had a question, she took the time to give me a detailed and thoughtful explanation. We spent a lot of time working on interview prep and questions, and overall best practice for interviewing. This process made a huge improvement towards my comfort level during interviews, and resulted in better interviews with more call-backs! Neha really helped me feel prepared for all future job interviews, and helped me reorganize and improve my resume so that it really stands out. I would highly recommend Neha Hurpaul and the Career Service program through CareerFoundry.

UI Design Program
Oh I really enjoy the UI Design course on CareerFoundry! The program is well designed, the explanations are so good for each task. I am very grateful for my tutor and mentor, they are both professionals and are so easy to communicate with. I am almost finished with the course, and looking forward to polish my works for portfolio and start working as Junior UI Designer. ☺️ The progress I’ve made is huge! I haven’t yet started the Job prep course, so I cannot comment on it now, but I am sure it is as great as the whole design course.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

UX Design Certification
The UX design course is amazing, so in depth in each of the various facets of the field - diving into some psychology, behaviours, analysis and more. Even without trying, you also pick up a great deal of UI and design knowledge which is great, it was always something I feared I wasn’t the best at - the creative side.
Out with the course curriculum, the tutors and mentors I’ve been given have been super helpful, from quick reviewing of tasks and achievements, to providing rich and in depth feedback, with links to further reading.
Not forgetting the student advisors, although I’ve had limited experience with them, anytime I’ve needed to reach out they are so welcoming and friendly - definitely good to have.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Good school for aspiring UX designers
I find the course pretty great, I like my tutor and receive lots of good personal feedback. I wished that they taught more about how to use programs such as adobe xd as I have had to look up a lot of tutorials on YouTube to teach myself. Other than that I think the course is quite good and I am excited and hopeful to see how it aids me when I start the job hunt.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job support4.0Instructors4.0 -

UX Design Course
I have learned all the skills, tools and processes of UX design.
A mentor, a UX lead in the industry with a lot of industry experience, is available in numerous video calls and has given me many tips and answered all my questions.
All skills are first explained in text form and then you have to complete the corresponding task, which gave me a high learning effectiveness. I´m very satisfied thanks to the extensive program, the learning by doing method and the great mentor.
Now I have a comprehensive portfolio with which I am able to apply.

Best Course to Transition Careers
I cannot recommend Career Foundry highly enough. I am in the middle of transitioning from teaching to UI design and Career Foundry has been the perfect choice. I have received well rounded lessons, relevant assignments and mentoring from people who are already in the industry. This in particular has been the highlight - the ability to talk to people about the industry who have real world experience. Although I am not finished the course yet, I am feeling more and more prepared to tackle a new field and use my new found knowledge.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

The perfect place to start your career in UX
After nearly a month of researching various schools and boot camps, I finally decided to choose the UX program of Career Foundry. At first, things seemed quite complicated, while looking at the portfolios of several of the graduates, I thought I couldn't handle something like this. Now that I'm at the end of the course, I realize that the curriculum is so structured that things happen smoothly and gradually, and in the rare cases where I've felt frustrated, I've always had tremendous support from both my mentor and my tutor. In the beginning, everyone goes through an orientation course, where they are introduced to the learning platform, as well as to what they can expect as support from their mentor and tutor. Ultimately, I can say that they both not only do a great job, but also do things that they are not normally required to do. This support is really important, especially for people who have no previous experience in this field of work!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Student
I enjoy Careerfoundry. I have a better knowledge in the UI field and the tools being used. There is a great support from my tutor and mentors if I have any questions or confused on. Real job projects that were assigned after each read helped a lot as well. Within each read there are videos and examples of work that helped me better understand what is expected out of each hand over.
Last year before Careerfoundry I invested my time with another bootcamp school, I didn't enjoy it as much and learn as much as I did with Careerfoundry. Im happy I took this course online after many hesitations. The Covid-19 happened and gave me a push.
I can not wait to finish school and start my new career as a UI Designer.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Intro to Data Analytics
This course gave a really nice overview of the data field. I learned a lot of really useful skills that I have been able to apply in my daily work life. Not only has it improved my practical excel skills, it has given me a really useful insight into the applications of data in the real world. There were parts of the course that I found tough but there was a lot of support there. The mentor and tutor support was really great. The tutor was really responsive and always happy to answer my questions. The mentor introduced me to the day to day life of a data analyst and also provided really good job coaching too.

UI Design Course - Great Online Program
I'm currently taking the UI Design course and I'm about 75% complete. The program is structured well, and although very self-guided, I like how the program sets tasks and shows you your progress towards course completion. Very helpful for me to stay on track and finish at the desired end date. As someone who is working full-time in another industry, this course works well for me because I can do readings and assignments all on my own time. I particularly like the Job Prep Course which is included in the program, helping me to edit my resume and craft my portfolio.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors4.0
