CareerFoundry

I compared lots of different UX courses before settling for Career Foundry and am so happy I did. The mentors and tutors are always available to speak to and get back within minutes/hours, tasks are manageable yet challenging and I never thought I would enjoy doing something so much. Deciding to go into UX is the best decision I’ve made in years and although I cannot wait to start my first job as UX designer, I would be sad for the course to finish because it’s such a good feeling to realise you’re really learning something and making progress. Highly recommend!  Read less

This program is fantastic. Making a career change is no easy task, Career foundry provides a very detailed roadmap on how to get there. The course provides industry relevant and up-to-date information. Students are tasked with an assignment after each lesson to ensure a greater understanding of the material and actually ensures students develop the skills necessary to work in the field of UX Design. The support and feedback provided by a tutor and mentor is invaluable and I feel it is the crucial difference from other programs that will help me find success in landing a job!  Read less

I was a bit sceptical in the beginning about online course, but I am so happy now and so glad I have chosen CareerFoundry, all in one: the course itself, the task and the assistance is so great! The best thing that on my career change program I have mentors (and not only one!!) who are helping me, they are like my angels, supporting me then I am unmotivated or just stuck at some task, they give me tips and encourage me on my way to become a designer. I love the setting of the course and the support I get!  Read less

I am very satisfied with Careerfoundry course - materials are presented in a comprehensible and clear manner, well-structured and very informative. The cource pace leaves a lot of flexibility, you can plan your working time yourself (within given hours per week, 40 hrs for full time students). Everybody - your mentor, tutor, student advisory and Bildungsgutscheinteam is extremely helpful and supportive. Also you get connection to Slack Community which opens for you new connection possibilities. I highly recommend the course to anyone thinking about moving own career towards ux ui design Read less

CareerFoundry has been a great online experience for me. I tried another bootcamp from a competitor company previous to starting the UX Immersion course at CareerFoundry, and it did not even compare to it in any way. I really have loved the structure of the lesson plans, and the quizzes and tasks that follow them. Really enjoy that I not only get to digest the information but apply it to projects that will be showcased in my portfolio at the end. The mentors are all very knowledgeable, but I did have one that was not a match for me which my advisor was quick to place me with a new one. My tutor is always accessible when I have a question, and gives great feedback on every task I submit. The online atmosphere is supportive and very conducive to help you achieve success throughout. I just started my course for job prep and am very excited to start working with my tutor to perfect my interviewing skills and resume. Overall, I can't say enough good things about this experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid education in UX Design. Read less

The mentors and advisors are really supportive and helpful. The course materials are informative and organized, and focuses on preparing students for the industry. I really enjoy the course and definitely would recommend for anyone considering career change to UIUX. Read less

With no real-world UI Design experience, CareerFoundry has developed me into a UI Designer, that's now employable. From the start of the UI Design program, my tutor, mentor and student advisors have been total pros. Excellent communication of what's expected to achieve and they continue to offer guidance in a genuine manner. No fluff. I'm switching careers from being an on-air radio broadcasting professional to the tech-design sector. I couldn't be more excited about my UI Design future. Thank you to all! Read less

The thing I like most about CareerFoundry is that it's geared toward people who are switching careers, so there's a lot of emphasis on using your previous skills and dealing with impostor syndrome. I also like that they explain UX concepts in great detail, and break down tasks into more manageable chunks. The tutor and mentor support is also very important and I found it helpful that each student gets one-on-one support. The Job Prep course is also fantastic, as it helps you build a resume and portfolio.
One way that I think CareerFoundry could improve is by providing more guidance in learning specific programs...for example a student may be required to complete a task using Adobe XD or Figma, but it is often up to the student to figure out/teach themselves how to use that program, which can be frustrating and time-consuming.

Being brand new to the field, career foundry has done an amazing job of introducing me to all the different aspects of UX in a way that makes it digestible and encouraging. The most helpful thing has been the access to both a tutor and a mentor who have the knowledge and insight to really help me take my projects to the next level. I am not done with the course yet but I don’t think there is anything else they could do to make me more confident that I’d be ready for my job within UX. Truly I am happy that I came across this program because the results will be life-changing for me.  Read less

I was looking for a new path in my career. I studied fashion design but I have always been interested in research and to apply design to find solutions. I found career foundry when I was looking for new options and I decided to study with them because of the support of your mentors and Tutors, it’s easier to make an important change if you are supported by professional people.

I had high hopes, but CareerFoundry didn't live up to them. I learned practically nothing that I couldn't have gathered from a 10 minute YouTube video. The materials were very superficial and disconnected from real work in the industry. I would have liked to learn about decision making strategies in design, not basic facts like "your font size should be legible". The tutors and mentors focused more on being "encouraging" than helping me improve, and their feedback was often just copy-pasted and completely off-topic. Even after requesting it several times, I didn't receive constructive feedback. CareerFoundry's support system was among the worst customer service systems I have ever come across, so even though I did the course in a relative short amount of time, it took forever for requests to get processed. Other bootcamps look far more promising.  Read less

I am almost finishing my UX immersion course. I have learned so much and I wouldn't be able to progress so fast if I didn't have started this course with CareerFoundry. My mentor Julia and my tutor Valentina are helping everyday! Any question I have they are there to support me. I also have met so many amazing people from other countries that are doing the same course as me. We are all supporting each other and getting inspired with each other. The best of all of this, there is a mentor to help with your career, I have just started the course to start my portfolio and look for a job. My mentor is amazing and I feel more confident to start my new career! If you have any opportunity to do this course, I highly recommend!  Read less

I'm thoroughly enjoying the UI Design course at CareerFoundry. Both the course and the career prep are really hands on. Also, the Slack community is very active and a great resource. I feel so much more confident in my career change after working through this course. Would recommend!  Read less
