After being a Graphic Designer for several years I decided I needed a change and a fresh direction. With the world migrating to a digital experience, I knew that to be a successful designer in the future I needed new skills. I researched for several months but always came back to CareerFoundry.

After being a Graphic Designer for several years I decided I needed a change and a fresh direction. With the world migrating to a digital experience, I knew that to be a successful designer in the future I needed new skills. I researched for several months but always came back to CareerFoundry. I requested a call to help answer some of my concerns. After that first call with Matt, a UI Designer in Seatle, I was sold. It was challenging for sure and they don't just give out certificates. You earn it. The one on one calls with the mentor and the feedback you receive from your tutor is amazing. The biggest plus is the support. They have folks that will help you with the tuition questions, actual UI of the course itself, Career Preparation support and pretty much every touch point of the experience. Can not say enough about the job prep course and the job prep counselor. The conversations I had with the mentor, tutor and job prep contact was terrific. I switched from a graphic designer to a UI/UX Designer and couldn't be happier!! Best decision of my career!!!

The right choice if you're serious about switching careers
CareerFoundry has worked out wonderfully for me. It's abundantly clear I made the right call in choosing this organization among all the others; the asynchronous nature of the modules, course materials, mentorship program and much more have made it extremely effective and enjoyable for me, and I've been able to work at a faster pace than originally expected! - Gabriel BuckmanStudent • Software Engineering Program • OnlineVerified by GitHubMar 05, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Worth it - but some kinks to work through

The first module was amazing! Very well thought out and written with great resources for students to expand on the knowledge provided.
The second module has been good but far from perfect. I find myself googling questions that need to be explained better in the course. Also I have gotten some warnings during the second achievement in module two saying the code is deprecated… it’s pretty frustrating that the course isn’t kept up to date to the point the code is getting removed in the next release of mongoDB I think it was.
Overall I do think the course is worth it, 100%! But if you’re looking for a 100% self contained course, this is close but not 100% self contained. - Hira YasirWeb Developer • Student • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by GitHubFeb 20, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Unresponsive Tutor
The course is designed to have the tutor help you through the course and respond to you within 24 hours. I chose the flex schedule which means I should be able to work at my own pace. Unfortunately, the tutor I was assigned to usually takes 3 to 4 days to respond. When I do have time to work on the course, I'm unable to because my coursework sits for days at a time waiting for my tutor to review.

I chose the flex schedule which means I should be able to work at my own pace. Unfortunately, the tutor I was assigned to usually takes 3 to 4 days to respond. When I do have time to work on the course, I'm unable to because my coursework sits for days at a time waiting for my tutor to review. Exercises build one upon another, often having you delete old code and re-working things with new frameworks or libraries. Making it impossible to move on without the tutor reviewing.
When I first reached out to the advisors about potentially falling behind due to these consistent delays things got worse. I'm about halfway through the course and officially falling behind schedule. I sent another message to the advisors about my situation becoming worse with the unresponsive tutor and currently waiting for another response. Hopefully, I can get a new tutor or some time added to my schedule, again. After reminding my tutor that he has 24 hours to respond or review exercises he has decided to start fighting with me over whether he has to respond saying he has students turn 5 assignments in in a day. Very dishonest. - Miguel SoaresStudent • Data Analytics Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInAug 14, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

The student community is very supportive and great for early networking of people in the same boat as you.
I will say that on the UX course the resource articles are a little out of date, some having been published back in 2017. It would be nice if there were kept fresh with newer articles but the information contained is largely still relevant.
Additionally, sometime the platform can be a bit unintuitive and clunky, but only with lesser used functions I found personally.
