CareerFoundry

The content of the course is broken down in a way that's easy to learn and well organized. However I think the most beneficial part of the course is that they set you up for success from the very start, providing helpful timelines to keep yourself on track, a tutor who reviews every assignment and provides feedback, and a mentor who is there to offer higher level support and insight that I wouldn't have access to on my own. Not to huge the large network of other students who are there to peer review and support you along your journey, and the student advisors and career specialists who are always providing advice, job tops, updates on the industry, etc. Overall, its been such a great experience and although I've been doing the course remotely, on my own, I do not feel alone at all!

CareerFoundry offers incredibly comprehensive design programs that can be absorbed step-by-step through the many achievements and exercises each program is broken-down into. As a student, you have an abundance of supporting resources via mentors, tutors, student advisors and the student slack community which is all designed to help inspire and guide you as you navigate through the program. I highly recommend CareerFoundry for anyone looking to get into the UI/UX and Development fields of design. Read less

I would like to change my career from engineering to UX Design. After careful consideration, I decided to join CareerFoundry. So far I don't regret this decision either. I'm very satisfied with the course. It's constantly updated and there are always improvements in the course material. So I feel well prepared and up to date. Sometimes, I wish I had a little more background information. Then I have to do my own research, which I find important for learning.

I sometimes find the descriptions of the learning contents and tasks misleading and unclear. But maybe it's also because English is not my mother tongue. However, my tutor and mentor are always there to help me and usually answer within a short time. So far, every one of my questions has been answered in an understandable way.
For most exercises, I usually need much longer than indicated. But I also have no previous knowledge in design and have to read and familiarize myself with the topics and tools first.

I just started the job preparation course, so I can't say much about it yet. But after my first video call with my mentor, I'm confident that it's as well structured as the main course and that I will find a job quickly. Read less

It was a great time learning UX design at Career Foundry.

The instructors are very supportive and always provide additional resources for learning. My mentor changed during the course, however, CareerFoundry team made the transition very smooth. The tutor was always there and answered all the questions I had.
The curriculum was sometimes confusing. As a complete beginner, I would wish some more tips about upcoming tasks and what to prepare for it. Between some tasks, there is a huge gap in requirements and you have to learn fast in order to stay on track.
Job Assistance works perfectly. Every student becomes a designated Career Specialists who guide you through the course. The Job Preparation course also makes the job hunt very structured and easy.

Overall, I would say this Bootcamp is a great value for money. I really do feel that I am ready for a job after these five months. Read less

I have taken part in the UX Design course and I would totally recommend it. 
I dare to change my career to one very new but also that had to do with understanding people's needs. 
My mentor and tutor were always very helpful and reachable. I have had all the support I needed to succeed in this course and I feel prepared to start this new position in any company.  Read less

 As someone with a full-time job, a side-hustle job, a chronic illness and very little to spend on a course, I put doing this course on the back burner for months before I finally decided to bite the bullet, get a loan from the bank and just do it. And I am SO HAPPY that I did! While it's possible to do the course much faster, I am chipping away at it on top of my other jobs and make sure that I fully understand the material before moving to the next chapter, and all I ever receive from the teachers and mentors is pure support.

Since I began the course, they have rejigged their course curriculum and it now includes more information on the job hunt and interview questions throughout the whole course. A tutor helps you go through smaller tasks and they also assign you a mentor who you can book calls with and go through coursework with or talk about the industry or how you are feeling along the way.

It admittedly is expensive, and I am only able to do this course because my bank had mercy on me and gave me the loan. However, I found out that where I live in Germany, it is counted in your tax returns and so I will actually be getting some money back this year thanks to that purchase! More than that, an investment in yourself is always worth it- just make sure to do some free online courses first to make sure that you really like it!  Read less

I was really satisfied with this course. The theory is clear and well-documented but it would need a refresh. Especially in a fast-developing field like VUI design.
There is a good balance between theory and practice and the tasks are interesting. I like how you can challenge yourself as much as you want, so you can stand out if you put in the work.

It is quite intense so you really have to work for the certification which makes it even more satisfying to obtain. 
The mentor I had was a true expert and gives good feedback and motivated me.

Recommending this course!

It took me years to figure it out if it's the right choice to enrol or not. During these years I kept browsing all the tutorials that I could find on Youtube and I was happy with the results but I didn't know why I was coming back to Careerfoundry to check their program. You can learn a lot without paying and there is a great free tutorial as well in the ocean of information that you can on the internet. I was overwhelmed with all these tutorials and though that I wasn't improving as I expected, so I took the decision to enrol and have a school like the style to keep myself under "observation". The best choice I ever made.

I was lucky to have a superb tutor(Leticia) which helped a lot to have confidence and pay attention to the details. Sometimes the mistake was so small that you need to zoom 1000% to spot them and she did it all the time. She also went the extra mile to teach me that I need to improve my writing skills so I can work efficiently with the team and avoid misunderstanding that can delay a project(I'm not a native English speaker). The mentor(Shpetim) is extremely competent and professional and always straight to the point when it comes to providing feedback and even chatting about our daily life too! 

In this course, you're paying for the Mentor and Tutor and it deserves every penny because in 6 months I've seen a huge improvement and I'm more confident about my skills. Plus you have access to your course forever, so you can come back when you need to refresh something. The full journey is split into four parts: Intro to UI Design, UI Immersion, your choice of one specialization (Frontend Development for Designers, or Voice User Interface Design), and Job Preparation.

Plus you have a lot of discounts to buy the majority of the software that we may need. I bought Sketch for 50£!

If you are like me that you think 1000 time before spending money and that you can avoid it by using Youtube etc, just save your time and enrol with them. The time spent on Youtube will cost more than what you will spend on Careerfoundry. You know...time is a gift but wasted time has a huge cost! Don't do my mistake!

I am very grateful with the careerfoundry team. The course exceeded my expectations, I developed skills that I thought I did not have such as creativity.
I loved that throughout the course my tutor and mentor were always supporting and giving me the best advice to improve myself. Now that I almost finished the course, I can't wait to start working on my dream job Read less

My experience with CareerFoundry so far has been Very positive.

I was apprehensive initially, but the hands-on experience in learning while designing is great. The tutors and mentors are really passionate about the subject and push you to do the same. Nearing the end of the course, but I am in awe of the amount of material access throughout the course. Thank you CareerFoundry. Read less

I am herewith submitting a review for Careerfoundry as a UX Design Student. Overall the course and the institution has been an amazing journey. The tasks and reading are very informative and the extra resources are amazing to dig deeper into the topics and expand knowledge. The tutors and mentors are amazing and guide you in the best possible direction whether it's for the course or the job prep. The course has helped me to build knowledge in UX design and get specialist guidance at every step how to work of UX designers are done.  Read less

Before I started with CF, (like many others) I did some research on a few other bootcamps - locally and remotely. I think many out there are very UX-driven in the terms of their curriculum. I'm actually transitioning from a graphic designer and I didn't want to lose my design roots entirely so I still wanted some UX but more UI. Thus, eventually found myself resonating with this UI Design Immersion course. It has been a fulfilling journey so far - definitely lots of discipline required. The whole course structure is very structured. All the resources are quite comprehensive and explained very clearly. There are timelines to keep you in check every week which is very useful. But most important of all, it's the access to a mentor and tutor that stood out for me. Both of mine have been very responsive to my questions. Another plus point would also be meeting and sharing with the community of CF students on a remote platform. :) Read less

After engineering and a gap of many years wanted to get back to my career. In the process enquired about all the boot camps available.

They have a very structured program that gives students immense confidence and at the same time, it gives us real experience. The mentor and tutors are amazing.  Read less
