    Mid course and I'm starting to regret it

    Very dissatisfied with the Student Advisory team. More of that later.

    The course is tough! Taking up more time than expected but I'm progressing and on track to finish on time. If you're a beginner like me, treat this as a full-time course. You may find it difficult to stay on track if you devote only 20 hours/week.

    One thing I do not like is the excessive amount of links the lessons throw at me. Ruins my flow. I'd spend a bunch of time finally understanding a section, ...

    UX Design course

    This course is really worth your time and investment. I was a COMPLETE beginner with a small tech anxiety too, so it was a challenge for me even see myself as a competent member of the tech industry. Of course, the imposter syndrome is still there and will stay for a while, but I cannot deny myself the huge progress I've made since the beginning of the course.
    It is all down to my tutor/mentor team, honestly. They were so patient, helpful and knowledgeable, that I learned a huge deal ...

    UI Design Course

    I'm coming to the end of my UI Design course and I must say I'm a little sad that's it's going to be over soon. I have learned SO much & my confidence as a designer has excelled exponentially. As much as I'm excited to start applying my newly found skills to the real world, I am going to miss Career Foundry. I will especially miss the indepth, encouraging, timely and constructive feedback I've been receiving from my tutor, Henrietta Creedy. I recommend this course to all - especially t...

    Great Experience: UI Design Course

    CareerFoundry was the best decision I could have ever made. I make a transition from Graphic Designer to UI Designer and it was really easy because of the Curriculum and Mentors The school has. My mentor was always open to give me advice, critic my work so I can enhance my skills and also there were 12 calls available which was awesome. After finishing my course I got my first job as a UI Designer in just 1 month and about 2 weeks. They have some career specialist you can contact so they h...

    UI Designer

    I'm very happy to have made the decision to go with CareerFoundry in my career change from the dead-end, unfulfilling role of audio/visual engineer to UI/UX designer. Being very creatively-minded since young, I think I had a strong advantage when it came to studying this course and finishing it in 4 months. 

    It covers the fundamentals of (UI) design as well as UX in order to start working in this field. You'll finish with a solid portfolio, however, after I completed the course I...

    UX Design next to working full-time

    I started with my Certified UX Designer Program in February. I was a bit concerned since I work full-time and the program requires aprx. 15 hours per week. But so far, it works perfectly. I managed to have two dedicated days per week to study in the evening and a half day at the weekend. So far, I am in time and had not to skip a social event.

    The class itself is super much fun although it is very challening. I am working as a customer relationship manager, so I know a bit of the...

    The UX School!

    I felt it was necessary to put this up here as CareerFoundry has done a whole lot in the last four months that needs to be recognized so future students can get an inside look at how well the school is progressing.

    I started just a few months ago and prior I was extremely skeptical being within the UX community for quite a few month prior to that. I got the chance to give CF's completely new curriculum and school a go as one of the first students to hit the ground running when th...

    UX Design Course

    I loved this course. It's pretty thorough and a lot of work, but I had a great mentor - Angelo - who was very helpful and gave great feedback. They won't let you slide by if it's not good enough.

    There were definitely a lot of late nights and it's a grind to stay on top of things if you work full time. It's manageable though if you use your time wisely.

    I definitely reccomend this for anyone interested in UX. There is also a lot of UI learning in the course, as well.

    I never intended to join a company, but instead I had some marketing and product creation experience, I intended to merge 'em together and create my own stuff...
