    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...

    Great personal touch

    I started learning UX Design at CareerFoundry in August 2020. I had no experience in design and came from a totally different field (flight attendant), that's why I was really nervous at the beginning. Luckily I got a great mentor and tutor who are guiding me through the path of becoming a UX designer. The school is really great for those who are insecure at the beginning because the level of independent work can be adapted to your needs,
    The curriculum itself is, most of the new know...

    Amazing staff and platform

    Career Foundry is a well thought remote course. The platform is easy to follow. A lot of tools to help you annotate and keep in touch with mentor, tutor and the student community (a lot of slack channels for this).

    It's a great place to study when remote learning is the norm.

    Oh, and the staff is very helpful and understanding with student's custom needs.

    Amazing asset to my Graphic Design skills

    I would like to say, that the course was quite good because I have learned about the interviews and empathy while conducting them.  I could learn essential UI design skills as well. The mentor calls every week kept me motivated to continue working. Once again thank you :)
