    My experience with the UX Design course at CareerFoundry (by Etien Dan)

    The UX course I made at CareerFoundry was a great experience for me. When I started the Course, I was a little bit skeptical about the online learning method but after I completed the first task, I observed that the structure it's very well done and it teaching me on a logical and easy to understand way. The exercises are building on each other so I observed automatically when I misunderstood a part of the subject. During the course, I observed the possibilities, I will have after completing it, that was also a great motivator for me. 

    My Advisor, Mentor, and Tutor helped me a lot with good tips and tricks. They judge my tasks anytime honestly and objectively.  

    I'm happy about the decision to make this course and I'm proud to be able to tell that I'm a UX Designer with a lot of skills that will help me in my future career.

    Thank's CareerFoundry!

    Very useful course in UI

    I really learned a lot from doing the UI course for UX Designers on CF. It is well structured and very informative. Furthermore the mentorship system works well and I got valuable feedback from an accomplished professional in the field.

    Great opportunity to change your career

    I am a current student on Online UI design course. Online education fits in my life just perfect. The course content is easy and interesting to read and the team is very knowledgeable. 
    The team never leave you alone and help you on your way. I got a tutor who responds on my submission super fast, giving me very detailed feedback about my work so I can move on. Also, I got an experienced and knowledgeable Mentor who helps me with my achievements. His feedback helps me to polish my portfolio so It looks stunning for the potential employers. I got my personal career specialist who helps me with my career change and student advisor who helps me if I have any questions about the studying process. 
    AND what is very important for me - CareerFoundry guaranty the job placement within 6 months! Isn't it amazing? But, to be honest, the UI course is so voluminous and Job Preparation course is so useful, so I am more than sure at the end of the course I can find a job easily because I will have a strong resume and outstanding portfolio. 
    I highly recommend this course!

    Worth it!

    So I took the UI course. It was very informative, well structured and went very well with all the support I had throughout the course with my mentor, tutor, career advisor and the student advisors. I came across very cool people over on slack. It gave me motivation to be as good as those amazing designers over there. All in all, take this course yesterday! 😁

    Enjoying the course

    After working in careers I enjoyed but didn't feel challenged by, I decided to make the switch to UX design.  A thorough researcher, I looked around a lot before deciding on Career Foundry.  I'm really glad I did for a number of reasons.  

    Firstly, their curriculum is on point.  Each lesson targets diverse, but vital topics in UX.  It's project-based so you end up building your portfolio as you go, and most importantly, they've included a job preparation course that I honestly think anyone - regardless of whether they're in UX or not - should have access to as it's very psychology-based and works to guide you to your true job purpose and goals.

    Overall, it's been a wonderful experience and I'm confident that when I finish I will have no problem finding a job in UX with the skills I've already acquired.

    Best Thing I've Done so Far

    Hi! I just wanna say that this is one of the major decisions I've done in my life to study again at age 24 when some of my friends are already at the peak of their career. Careerfoundry helped my by equipping me with the education I needed and made sure that I get on track with the help of a Mentor and Tutor. Their Mentos and Tutors are really great and patient which is what you need when you get into a tech course because a lot of times you'll feel stuck and down but with their help you'll get to the finish line.

    Highly Recommended

    I highly recommend the course, It's packed with information but they deliver it in an easily digestible way and without it feeling overwhelming, the course as a task for every exercise you complete ensuring that you learn by actually doing instead of just reading. My instructors were great, they have helped across my journey, they provided great information on what I was doing and how to improve and sources to learn more from. The only reason I gave curriculum 4 stars, is because I would've liked to see more videos, the course still has some. All in all, it's a great course!

    So far, one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life

    I'm taking the UI Design course, with no experience in design and no UX/Graphic design background. So far, i feel confident to say that this course has been one of the best structured, with an excellent updated content wich motivates me to stay focused to keep learning my new skills. 
    The tutor is correct, he answers all the questions i have. One big plus is that he is on the same timezone than me, so there are no big delays when submiting my task to review.
    I have been making Skype calls with my assigned mentor regullarly, and everytime we talk i get to understand how this industry works receiving great advices from him.
    I put a lot of time on the course, but that's because i like. I mean the content is catchy! You feel like always wanting to put more effort on your task and submit the best exercise you can. I discovered a new passion: UI Design.
    I already started the job prep course, but i'm on the first lessons, so can't relate about that

    Great course! Great People!

    Deciding which online web development course to go with was extremly difficult as ther was so many to choose from. I did my homework and I’m proud to say that I couldn’t have made a better decision choosing CareerFoundry. The course is put together well and extremely informative, and the people they have, advising, mentoring, and tutoring are absolutely amazing! It is beyond evident that the school and people truly care about you understanding and implementing the material yourself. I’m extremely satisfied with my choice for an online web development course and would highly recommend them!

    Very engaging course

    II enjoyed doing the CareerFoundry course...the fact that they made us do projects to learn the concepts served the purpose of better retention. The only drawback I would say is, certain sections could have been explained and broken down better for students who’ve never worked with Design software; such as using a UI kit to finish your prototypes and make them look professional. Nevertheless the tutor and instructor were very helpful and helped me continuously improve my designs.

    Awesome investment!

    Career Foundry course is a very worthy investment if you wish to change your career or just upskill yourself. I found the UX Designer course content simple, straightforward and totally manageable along with my freelancing job. The content is often supported by video demonstrations that makes the content more understandable and interesting to learn. Career Foundry online course content as well as the tutors and mentors regulalry send you extra reading materials which is very helpful. The Tutors and Mentors are extremely helpful and supportive in your mission of learning. I have found the student advisors very prompt in their responses and are always eager to make your transition into your new chosen field very smooth. I would highly recommend Career Foundry.

    This course has been challenging and time intensive but completely worth it! I'm learning so much and even applying the principles at my current job.

    The support from CareerFoundry has been amazing from the time I started looking into UX design courses. My tutor Jonny has been the most supportive - he responds quickly and his feedback is extremely helpful and thorough each assignment.

    Great UX Course

    Career Foundry provides a solid foundation in UX methodologies and practice. If you are lucky, you'll get an amazing mentor like Tina, whose expertise and support are truly stellar. The Slack platform is a great way to connect with peers, and get feedback and help with projects.

    The coursework has been challenging but manageable while working and balancing graduate school. Overall, this program will give you what you need to create a compelling UX portfolio and find a job you love (more on that hopefully soon!)

    Already accomplished more than I thought I ever would!

    Currently in the first month of the UX Design course. When I was looking around for a UX course, I knew that I wanted a project-base curriculum, which CF offers.  The program is set up so that you have access to a mentor and tutor, and I've already met with my mentor twice and interacted with my tutor about ~10 times.  They're responsive and I'm always grateful for all the in-depth, immediate responses I've gotten from them every time I shot them a message.  The CF platform is full of supports, and they also offer a Slack channel where students can help each other.  I've always had positive interactions with other students so far.  While I do wish I could collaborate with other students more (as I probably would in a in-person course), I think with all of the different avenues they offer for communication (chat bars + Slack), it can be accomplished with a bit more effort.

    All in all, after over a year of being indecisive with all of the differnet courses out there, CF finally felt like a perfect fit.

    A lot of relevant knowledge summarized for the student

    I love the fact that careerfoundry is honest and transparent about  how they teach and about the high quality of the study materials. They also offer reading access to their other courses. The UX Designer course is challenging as you need to complete 2-3 tasks a week and some tasks demands the student to learn a program like sketch within a week. However, the mentor and tutors always reply on time and give valueable insights. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to change their career or to become a specialist.

    UX Design Immersion

    Enrolling in the Career Foundry UX Immersion is one of the best decisions I have made in a very long time! The program is extremely well structured, organized and full of information about the UX/UI industry. On completion of the UX Design Immersion I was able to have two substantial case studies that I am very happy with. I definitely put a lot of effort into the Fundamentals course in the beginning so I was able to build a strong foundation before I started the Immersion. Also- after completion of the Immersion and with the benefit of everything I  learned during the program, I revisited my Fundamentals project and was able to bring it up to a much higher level. I also feel confident about creating more studies on my own, as the CF curriculum provided me with such a strong understanding of research methods and best practices.

    Of course the program is online, and depends completely upon the self discipline and tenacity of the student. One must be earnestly committed and work hard to see results. I found the platform to be very well organized and it was easy for me to understand what was expected. In addition to explanations and examples, it was great to have online references and articles which also helped with the learning experience. The assignments are clear and explicit and build upon each other logically to create a robust case study project.

    My tutor Terri Rodriguez was wonderful, and always there if I need to ask her a question. Her responses were always within 24 hours, usually much quicker. She was encouraging, inspirational and definitely made me feel supported. Dana Lynn was my mentor and always offered  honest clear feedback. She truly helped clarify things for me when I had questions and provided authentic encouragement. Dana has a rich background in both UX and visual design so her feedback was very helpful for me on multiple levels. I am so grateful to this great team!

    After this wonderful experience, I am looking forward to the UI Design and Voice Specializations! 

    Thanks CareerFoundry!

    Great to develop a new skillset

    Tutor and mentors are very good at breaking down your assignments and showcasing weaknesses and strengths. Sessions provide great constructive criticism with clear ways of improving. Only caveat of the course is that you do have a time limit to complete assignments and if you go over you will need to request an extension and pay more. But the site breaks down completion date very well so that you can plan the pace you need to finish the course.

    UI Design Course

    I signed up to the UI design course after working in SEO and wanting a career change. I must say the course has been fantastic so far. It is excellently laid out and it's intuative work flow is very engaging and comprehensive. With no UI or UX experience in the past, I feel like I have learned so much. They really do take you from the ground up. It is well paced, interesting and I am able to stay creative throughout. I would certainly recommend this course to anyone looking to venture into this field or looking for a career change.
