I got a job in UX after only two months of starting the course. While I already had some previous training and experience, having the course listed on my CV helped me to get noticed by recruiters.
The mentor and tutor I was paired with are friendly and encouraging. They helped me prepare for my interviews and checked in to see how I was doing. The student community is also very welcoming and always ready to help.
The only downside so far is that some of the external links they suggest as optional/further reading are old/outdated. Also, the lessons could do with more media, like videos, animations, etc. They are heavy on text which might be easier and cheaper to update but is not quite as engaging.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -
