    So glad I did!

    I recently completed CareerFoundry’s 6 month UI/UX course and received a job offer about 3 months afterwards. It enabled me to achieve my goal of changing my career trajectory. I was already working as a traditional graphic designer, but had been wanting to do more UX/UI work and CF helped make that a reality. I was so pleased from beginning to end. 

    The course is very well laid-out and paced appropriately. I worked hard, but was able to complete it while still working full time....

    Very disappointing

    It's now been more than six months since I went through the UI Design course and I can honestly say that I totally regret it. Although the instructors were great, the curriculum and the job assistance left a lot to be desired.

      First for the good. You are assigned a tutor and a mentor. The tutor looks at your smaller projects and gives you feedback and the mentor gives you detailed feedback on the larger projects. My tutor and mentor were both great....

    UX designer and researcher

    I loved the course and how it was planned. Very organized and on point with all the UX material. Overall experience very good but the job guaranteed not so much. Helpful advisors for creating portfolio but in regard to finding a job you are on your own.

    UX Design course - a life changing experience

    Last year I took the leap and undertook a UX Design course with CareerFoundry. I'm so glad I made this choice and it was by far the best (also hardest) course I've ever done. It took me 9 months to complete and you have to be willing to put your all into it. I like the pratical element and each task built up to a final portfolio piece. The mentor and tutor support really is invaluable and you also get support after the course from the careers advisors. I've just landed my first UX role all...

    iOS Developer Bootcamp

    (I had basic coding knoweldge and a little bit of iOS experience before beginning the course)

    The CareerFoundry iOS Bootcamp helped take me from a beginner iOS Developer to paid professional.  Throughout the course you cover a wide range of iOS topics that when put together give you the tools to create tons of different apps.  I enjoyed taking the course online, at home, and at my own pace.  This allows you take more time on topics you struggle with, and less time with others.

    Very great UI Design Course

    I decided to start my UI design course at Careerfoundry because after years of experience as a 'classic' graphic designer I felt it was time to upgrade my professional skills for the world of digital design. Before deciding to sign up for the course I've been hesitating many times about my choice, since in many cases an online formation doens't really give the skills you can then apply in the real work market. All my doubts just blew away as soon as I started my experien...

    UX Design Course

    I took the UX Design Course at CareerFoundry in 2017, and can absolutely recommend it anyone who wants to gain practical experience in User Experience Design. The course covered everything from the conception of ideas, through sketching, prototyping testing and iterating. Don't worry about the fact that it is an online course - my tutor was always available when I had questions, my mentor was there for the bigger questions, and the community of students and student advisors is super suppor...

    I’m a Creative Development Specialist in Global Product Development at eBay and work with developers and engineers on a daily basis. Since I don’t have a CS background I wanted to use this course for understanding Web Development better and be able to facilitate this understanding in my job. The course provided a good opportunity to dive into Web Dev through a concrete project, which was challenging but also fun. My tutor provided superb support and patient explanations on every topic, tha...

    Great course for designers who want to retrain within UI/UX industry

    I come from a design background having studied Graphic Design in university and having 4 years of web design under my belt, however I wanted a career refresh so that I could move from websites to user experience design within the mobile app industry without having to go in at a junior position.

    After taking the User Interface Design course last year I am now in an amazing role as a mid-weight UX designer at the UKs leading mobile app company. I am currently the sole designe...

    Great UI Course

    Overall, I really enjoyed the UI Course. It helped me boost up and round out the UX experience I already have under my belt.  The classes/modules were comprehensive and challenging. By the end of the course I felt confident that I could market myself as more than just a designer who was limited to wireframes and site maps. Now I have a whole host of other skillsets that help design an entire website/app from soup to nuts.

    Excellent course!

    I personally like the UX Bootcamp at CareerFoundry.  At the beginning, I was hesitated to enroll this program for many reasons. Because of its 100% online course, I wasn’t sure how the school would navigate Graduated students for their future careers. However, at the end of this road, I knew I made the right decision.

    CareerFoundry Packs a Punch!

    I really enjoyed my time going through the program. Right out the gate I was introduced to my tutor who helped sharpen the quality of my work throughout each exercise. She offered Skype calls whenever I wanted, which I took advantage of with my most challenging assignments. The video reviews my mentor sent were instructive and the 1-on-1’s are mainly what you want them to be, so be prepared to ensure you make the most of them.
