Insightful, accessible, fun
My experience as a student in the UX course was amazing! I did not expect a tutor and mentor here to guide me through my whole journey, it was very helpful! The course gave me a proper insight on how UX research and design is done. Now, I am more confident than before in this field, and hopefully this course can serve as a stepping stone for me!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Worth starting if you are interested in changing careers to UX/UI
CareerFoundry provides an immense amount of support. You have your assigned course advisor, tutor, mentor, and career coach. Its a very hands-on-learning course and prepare to do a lot of reading, but overall the quality of the learning is great. I feel CareerFoundry is up to date on new UX/UI practices and I am confident I am getting the best learning from this bootcamp.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

student-oriented, flexible, elaborate
I am currently enrolled in CareerFoundry’s UX Design Certificate Program and I find it to be a great course to understand how to become a UX Designer. I’ve enjoyed the process of seeing my project come to life and am grateful that I have a support system like CareerFoundry to help guide me along the way. They have a job prep course as well as job-seeking assistance that I am looking forward to utilizing once I finish the program.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Great tutors and mentors
The support and feedback from my tutors and mentors is great. Both are industry pros and give great insight on the course project.
I love being able to work at my own pace and around my current work schedule.
Having zero UxD experience, it's been a challenge, but the course guides you along and you get to view other student submissions for guidance.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Encouraging, the staff really feels invested in your success
The course is extremely fast paced, and it's really easy to fall behind if you have work or school at the same time as this bootcamp. However, I've had good experiences contacting the student advisors because they are very understanding of my situation and would help me get back on track. My tutor approves my tasks with some pretty generic/nonspecific feedback, sometimes I'm not sure if I'm really understanding the scope of the lesson because I don't get much constructive criticism, which makes me unsure if I'm really prepared for the industry afterwards. The mentor does give pretty concise and constructive criticism which helps make up for that weakness. Overall, very challenging for my design & time management skills.Overall4.0Curriculum3.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

Career Change within a couple of months!
After college I felt a bit stuck because I knew I didn't want to attend grad school nor did I want to work entry level positions forever. After some research I found my field of interest (UI Design) and found CareerFoundry. So far I am incredibly impressed with the skills I have developed and how much I have learned in these past couple of months. It is incredibly impressive to go from not knowing anything in the field and finishing the course with a full polished portfolio, that was curated with the help of a tutor and a mentor. So far, no regrets!Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors4.0 -

UX Bootcamp
Although CareerFoundry does offer multiple bootcamps, I have personally only taken the UX one and have had a wonderful experience. They offer in-depth material and give students tasks that help build knowledge. Along with the material, CareerFoundry gives students a tutor that is always a text message away and a mentor who is experienced in the field. Additionally, everyone's response time is quick and fast and they are always trying to help us get the best experience. They also have zoom meetings with people around the world giving their experiences in the UX field and also have many resources to make sure their students get everything possible out of this Bootcamp.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

UX / UI - Review!
Overall, I am incredibly satisfied with the program. It is a self-paced but the program offers guidance on how to pace oneself whether you choose to participate part or full time. Your tutor/mentor are always giving productive and helpful feedback to help you improve. My personal favorite part is how the lessons are so bite size. You read about a new exercise, directly implement that into the task of the day. This is all being gathered to build the main piece of the achievement and overarching project. I think it's a great practical and hands-on approach to learning.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Great for Career Changers and Beginners!
I had a wonderful experience studying through CareerFoundry. I loved that it was all online and flexible. I was able to do it in my own time and at my own pace. I had two excellent mentors/tutors, who were always available to help with extra questions and advice. The free Job Preparation Course also helped immensely in preparing me for the job market and sending out professional applications. It also gave me the opportunity to set up a website that serves as my portfolio. All in all a great school that goes the extra mile. And I got a job in a foreign country where I don't even speak the language properly within 4 months of finishing - with zero previous data analysis experience (I am a career changer from speech therapy to data analytics)!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

The course is designed to immerse the student on a work journey through completing small to medium tasks almost every day. It delivers some security that the curriculum will prepare you for the work environment and mostly to get a job right after finishing it.
The feedbacks on the tasks are encouraging but you can see it could be improved with a more personal approach rather than ready made texts.
The graphics for the exercises can be improved.

UX Design Program Jun '21 Cohort
Overall a fantastic program if you're willing to put in the work! The student experience is highly dependent on the tutor and mentor you happen to be assigned— so just something to keep in mind. Student support via the student advising team was excellent. Lastly, I've had one interaction with two different career specialists and both were a bit disappointing because I didn't really feel supported— but hopefully just an anomaly! Still, I would highly recommend this program.Overall5.0Curriculum3.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -
