    UX Design Course

    I started the UX Design course that CareerFoundry offers back in August. My background is BA & Marketing and I was kind of scared if I would be able to finish on time and follow the material. 

    Six months later I have to say that I'm absolutely happy with the course, the tasks you had to do and most importantly the mentor I had. She was great! She poitned me out in the right direction, giving me feedback on time and answering all of my questions timely and fully.

    UX Design with Leah Simons and Abhi Bhattacharya

     

    Just finished my 6 month program for UX Design and it was really a great experience. The achievements throughout the course are helpful and explained well. If you're dedicated and follow through step-by-step, you'll easily be on your way to a UX career after you're done.

    Leah (mentor) and Abhi (tutor) were an amazing combination and I could not have asked for a better team. Abhi was there for my day to day needs and responded to every question I had in less than 24hrs...

    Career Foundry UX Course

    I wanted to switch my career from Civil Engineer to UX Designer (yea, pretty big gap) but the course was perfectly crafted to allow me to study while working. And after 6 month, I've acquired all the skills I need to start looking for a UX job.

    The lessons were really good but the best part was the mentor; mine was great and gave me precious feedback almost everyday.

    UX design course with Allison Yaeger

     

    I passed the UX design course several months earlier than the deadline. I must say, I was looking for a course that would outline design phases and decisions, clear up and  bring into structure all that enourmous overwhelming information I saw in the web.  Lucky for me, I had a great mentor Allison Yaeger. Her critical thinking, down-to-earth attitude together with positive personality both challeneged me and encouraged me to re...

    UI Design Bootcamp

    I'm almost finished with the UI design course and I can't emphasize enough how glad I am I took the leap and committed to a bootcamp. Here are some pros and cons: Pros: -The course is self paced. -The readings and assignments focus on real world application. Each task builds on the last and suddenly, viola, you've designed an app (actually several)! -My mentor was great. We connected through Skype and email and she was okay with it when at one point, life happened and I had to tak...

    Career Foundry UX Course

    Coming to CareerFoundry with prior UX design experience I thought it would help me take my UX skills to the next level.  

    I feel my CareerFoundry tutor (Abhishek Bhattacharya) and mentor (Leah Simmons) did a fantastic job showing me where I excelled and what areas I could improve in. 

    As most of the class material was not necessarily new to me, I really appreciated the enthusiasm demonstrated by Leah engaging me in critical discussions on how to realign my methods to be...

    I am extremely happy with my decision to take the Web Development course at Career Foundry.  I have learned a ton and am almost done with my course.  My hope is to get involved in the industry and continue to learn, while also keeping in touch with the CF alumni, to help where I can and get help when I need it.  I definitely recommend this course to anyone looking for a career change.
