Great course overall
In my opinion, the best thing about this boot camp was access to an experienced mentor to answer all my questions and give me valuable feedback on projects. I now have a solid number of case studies in my portfolio for projects that I worked on throughout the course. Overall, the course gave me a solid understanding of UI design processes and tools.

Course review
CareerFoundry course Full Stack Web Development is very simple to understand about programming. I have done many courses in different Institution but I felt this is very convincing related to syllabus and the support from their tutor, mentor and student advisor. - Lorena TadićUX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInAug 15, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UX design program
The program is great. I'm half way through and feeling already like I have learned a lot!
My mentor helps me when I get stuck and really boosts my motivation.
So far, I'm satisfied.

The intro to UX course gives you a quick look into with the different parts of UX, so you can get a taste of all of it before you really dive in. The immersion course expands heavily on what you learned in the intro, and you are prompted to choose a project that will become your main case study for the immersion course. CareerFoundry shows you your timeline progress, so you can visually keep track how far along you are in the program by weeks and by tasks. It is very independent work, so self-motivation is big. The lessons are detailed and provide you with plenty of information to understand the topic they're teaching you, and there are always extra links to articles so you can go even more in depth. There are weekly submission goals that also shows your expected program and time finish that help to keep you on track. This has helped me become more disciplined and stick to the deadlines so I either submit according to my expected timelines. I also really really love that they show you how long a task might take, like 1-3 hours or 10+ hours. I like to plan ahead so I really love this feature.
If you don't like your mentor or tutor, you can also always request a change. I was nervous I wouldn't connect with mine but it's quite the opposite. My tutor is great! I really want to highlight how much I love my mentor and our extremely valuable video calls - she's very encouraging but also highly critical. She's the head of a large (like 40+ member) UX team at a major grocery store company and always provides me with honest feedback and ways to improve my portfolio, telling me what she'd be looking for when hiring for her company. I doubt myself and put a lot of pressure upon myself, but I always leave our calls feeling sooo much better and that everything will be okay!
I haven't started the job prep course yet, but I am in it, so I can see that they help you develop your identity (in the context of what you're passionate about) and clean up your portfolio and resume. I know this is definitely assistance I need, so I'm glad to have it. Interestingly enough, the user experience of the CareerFoundry website is ... lacking lol. It works fine but sometimes, I find myself laughing clicking around because it makes no sense that a website hosting a UX design course has such unintuitive UX. CareerFoundry, if you're reading this - pls conduct research with your own students, tutors, and mentors!
I remember reading through Course Report obsessively, trying to figure out if I should go into UX and if I should choose CareerFoundry...
So if you're wondering if UX design is right for you... Do you like studying human behavior (psychology)? Do you love comparing products to find the best one? Do you enjoy solving problems and thinking critically? Do you enjoy divulging your thought processes behind what you do? Then go for it :-)
(bonus points - this one might be hard for a lot of people, but is crucial for UX - you will have to learn to let go of your ego and be objective - you cannot be stubborn with your designs. It's part of what I love about UX design - your work will always evolve and get better, as long as you take in and adapt to the feedback you get)
I was in between multiple programs and absolutely hate having regrets. But I am really glad with my choice. I'm (naturally) nervous for the job hunt but I genuinely feel so much more confident and excited to enter this field now thanks to CareerFoundry <3- Ivana NewbyUX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJul 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Very thorough and preps you for the real world

The course is so complete. There are plenty of resources, they prepare you for job interviews, make your porfolio and to find a job.
You will never feel alone doing the course. It’s not that kind of course that you complete tasks alone without any contact with a tutor. You will have a tutor and a mentor to guide you in the industry. Absolutely recommended. - TimonWeb developer • Student • Full-Stack Web Development Program • OnlineVerified by GitHubJul 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The community I find valuable and we learn from each other even though we live in completely different places.
The career coaching is also a great deal and itself worth a lot. Consists of a course with several tasks to improve your professional appearance aswell as a dedicated career coach.
Over all I feel like being prepared for a lot of topics and it is on me to deepen the knowledge!
I would recommend, though to visit a few online courses about the basic HTML, CSS an JavaScript. It helps a lot to overcome some obstacles BEFORE the course. - Samia IslamApplicant • Full-Stack Web Development Program • OnlineVerified by GitHubJul 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

UX Design Course
I am almost halfway through the UX Design Program and I love it.
I've done other online courses, even in UX, which gave me a good understanding of the field, but this course is very much deeper.
You have two parts: the intro part, where you learn almost every part of UX casually - this is where a lot of other courses end - and then the second, immersive part, where you pick a project that you work on.

You have two parts: the intro part, where you learn almost every part of UX casually - this is where a lot of other courses end - and then the second, immersive part, where you pick a project that you work on. In this part you learn everything a UX Designer needs to know and almost everything will be covered by Tasks, you have to submit.
With every task you can see what a few other students have submitted - so if you don't understand the assignment, you can then get an idea. This helps a lot.
From Day 1 you have a tutor and a mentor. When you are halfway through you can do the job preparation course, where you get another mentor, who helps you prepare for your first job. I can't say much about this, since I am not there yet. But my "normal" mentor already helped me with questions about jobs and work.
The course is parted in little sections and it's viable to do like 4-5 tasks a week (full-time). I can recommend it. - Hugo ClarkeStudent • UI Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJun 28, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Career Foundry review
As a fan of independent learning, I can strongly vouch for Career Foundry. By "independent", I do not mean you are alone: your tutor and mentor will help you with any questions you have, and there is a whole community of other students to work with. The point is that you can learn at your own pace, spend more time on aspects you find challenging, and take whatever approach to learning suits you best.
Of course, this means you are responsible for structuring your time, and this is...As a fan of independent learning, I can strongly vouch for Career Foundry.

The point is that you can learn at your own pace, spend more time on aspects you find challenging, and take whatever approach to learning suits you best.
Of course, this means you are responsible for structuring your time, and this is an important skill as well. It's a bit lonely if you don't reach out to connect with study buddies (which may be something you do or don't want to do), and you get help from your tutor via messages, so it is not the same as a classroom. You CAN book video calls with your mentor, which is great, but this is for more high-level guidance than everyday learning. The staff are very supportive and encouraging.
I hope this review gives you some insight into what to expect, but I can certainly recommend Career Foundry and am very grateful this opportunity is here for me to take this path. If you want to study UI, go for it! - Giselle Marques GazzanaUX Designer Student • Student • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJun 27, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UX Designer Program - An excellent one!
After a very good research I choose to study at CareerFoundry and since april I'm making my career transition with them, loving it!
They are very attentive and the way of learning by making my portfolio is a differential. My course's mentor and tutor are senior professionals with good teach skills and very supportive. I recommend! - Victoria RamsdellStudent • UX Designer • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJun 09, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I have especially loved getting to know my Mentor. She is very smart and has a proven career in UX, and I really admire her and her decisions in this field. I want to contribute getting to know her and seeking her out for quality advice even after this program.
I also loved getting to know my first tutor. We we’re able to connect on LinkedIn outside of careerfoundry and I find it invaluable to see the people teaching me live their lives. I love seeing how they interact in this world.
