    UX Design got me through the pandemic

    I took CF's UX design course. In fact, I am still taking it and am planning to graduate within the next 7 weeks. 

    Even though, I am not a particularly good online-only learner, I made it through the course. It is all about getting into a routine and setting a manageable goal on how many submissions you want to do within one week. 

    A total of roughly 80 submissions sounds a lot at first but it helps you break the pile of content into small chunks and it gives you the feeling...

    Absolutely worth it

    Overall I am extremely happy with choosing CareerFoundry. 
     I enrolled in the UX Bootcamp in September 2020, and it took me a while to get used to taking an online course. Not easy to sit down and study on your own, right?
     What I liked about CareerFoundry was having a tutor and mentor to talk to. This was a huge asset for a distracted person like me. So, the first thing I did was that I started booking weekly video calls with my mentor to get a sense of how it is to be a UX design...

    UX Design

    Before actually pulling the trigger and investing into a UX course I spent several months researching courses across the internet, reading blogs, ratings, talking to students etc. After this extended research, I found Careerfoundry course to the perfect match for what I was looking for.

    Useful Curriculum

    I took the intro to UX design with Career Foundry. I spoke with a couple of friends who are professional UX Designers and they told me that the curriculum is what I should be studying as someone who is considering a career change in UX. I enjoyed the ability to have a mentor call and listen to the listens or read them at my convenience. 
    One star has been taken away because my mentor switched during the course and this lead to a delay in the feedback for my last assignment; however, t...

    Great and flexible UX Design course

    I joined the CareerFoundry UX Design course in July. The course is structured very well, with the whole experience being broken down into small and manageable Tasks which allowed me to keep up with the course even when I was very busy with work. It was very important for me to be able to study at my own pace while having easy access to support- and that's exactly why I chose CareerFoundry. 
    I also appreciate the fact that the course is project-based, which allowed me to learn many pra...

    Solid Experience; Great Flexibility and Friendly Instructors

    Overall, CF provides students with solid resources and curriculum.  To get the most out of the mentors, tutors, and Slack community, it is up to the student to take the initiative, but the staff and instructors are very willing to help.

    Full-time UX Design Course

    I am enrolled in the CareerFoundry full-time UXD course through Berlin's Job Center. The course is exactly what I was looking for (curriculum-wise), but in my opinion, a few improvements could be made. 

    • There should be a possibility to reach the CF Team by phone. Even though the Team replies to emails very quickly, it happened once or twice that after exchanging a couple of emails my question remained unanswered (or the answer was not clear enough...

    Great value - extremely satisfied

    I am very pleased with my experience with CareerFoundry so far. I was learning web development on my own before I decided to enroll, but now that I've made it near the end of the program, I know that there is no ways I would have made it to the level I am at now on my own. Their mentoring and feedback have been great and it is that human interaction that made me want to join their program. I have a tutor and mentor for web development as well as a mentor for career-preparation and they a...
