About
Interaction Design Foundation’s UX bootcamp is an eight-week, online program with a focus on job-readiness. The Interaction Design Foundation bootcamp is self-paced, allowing for students to customize learning around their own schedules. Interaction Design Foundation (IDF) is an independent non-profit initiative with a mission to raise the standard of global design education while lowering the cost.
While Interaction Design Foundation does not require any technical prerequisites, prior knowledge of design concepts and technical skills will be beneficial. Free Interaction Design Foundation courses are available to those students who need additional training and have already enrolled in the bootcamp. Students will have a lifetime access to any project materials completed during the bootcamp. Students are also given a one-year Interaction Design Foundation membership, which includes Interaction Design Foundation courses.
The focus of the Interaction Design Foundation bootcamp is mentor-led portfolio-building. Mentors are experienced UX design professionals, and Interaction Design Foundation matches each student with their personal mentor. Under the mentor’s guidance, each student creates, finalizes, and learns how to present a design portfolio. This portfolio includes practical and guided projects, and can be a mix of the student’s own personal projects and real-world project briefs provided by Interaction Design Foundation.
In the last two weeks of class, mentors help participants prepare for job interviews and practice presenting their portfolios. Students also do design interviews with recruiters from creative staffing agencies like Bamboo Crowd and Creative Circle to ready them for job interviews. An Interaction Design Foundation certificate is issued upon completion of the bootcamp.

The best and most valuable part was mentoring someone so experienced and always ready to help me.
- UX Bootcamp- 5/14/2021Cintia • UX/UI Designer • Verified via LinkedInI had a positive experience with IDF UX Bootcamp. The schedule and program were well thought, the mentor was very helpful.
- Get a Job in UX Bootcamp- 4/16/2021Martin Crowley • Graduate • Course: Get a New Job in UX Design Bootcamp • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI have just completed the Bootcamp and I can honestly say that it was an extremely worthwhile endeavour. I was paired with an excellent mentor with tonnes of industry experience who truly cared about my progress. My UX portfolio has come on by leaps and bounds in the eight weeks. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone seeking their first start within UX Design.
- UX Bootcamp- 4/8/2021Tuğba Karakaş YAvuz • UX/UI Designer • Graduate • Course: User Experience (UX) Fundamentals Bootcamp • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInIt was a great bootcamp. I attended several conferences and courses. I already had some knowledge but I did not know where to start, how to continue and finish. This bootcamp helped me to bring together all of my knowledge and produce end-to-end project. Well-structured documentation helped me close the gaps. Mentor has directed me whenever I was lost in the project and her advices helped me to understand my mistakes.
- Get a New Job in UX Design- 3/21/2021Georgina Miranda • Client IT Coordinator • Graduate • Course: Get a New Job in UX Design Bootcamp • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInThis is a well structured bootcamp that had helped me not only to learn by doing, but to gain confidence about my previous knowledge!
This is not a beginner bootcamp and I highly recommend it to people who need the final boost to land their first UX job.
Also, I would consider doing this bootcamp again in a couple of years. The main reasons are:
- Each student has the possibility to set up their expectations and their goals from the beginning. The bootcamp will be entirely about the students needs.
- The mentors are experienced UX/UI designers who are currently working in the industry and are aware of new procedures and trends. Also, they are flexible and provide more feedback that only the calls.
- If you are an experience designer, you can get still a lot of value from the bootcamp as you can set your expectations and you can get great outputs from other professionals.
- There's also the chance to get your money back if you're not sure about the bootcamp in the first 2 weeks.
I just started searching for a job as UX designer but I am pretty confident that I will find a job soon.
If you want to know more details about my experience in this bootcamp, you can reach at me in my Linkedin: Georgina Miranda.
- Get a UX Job Bootcamp- 2/28/2021Mandy Young • Verified via LinkedInthis bootcamp was super helpful in terms of connecting with a mentor and recruiter. personally, I felt the layout could have been structured better to actually put your portfolio together [vs. the research part] - as the ultimate goal is to have something to show off once you're done. my mentor was great, but I personally could have used a bit more guidance. overall, the connections I made are invaluable and I'd recommend this to anyone looking to start making headway into the UX job market!
- A Solid Intermediate Boot Camp- 2/1/2021Chelsie • UX Designer • Student • Course: Get a New Job in UX Design Bootcamp • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI attended The Interaction Design Foundation 8-week Boot Camp in June of 2020. I was super green, a complete newbie, and this boot camp was not only advertised as one for entry-level, but it was also one of the most reasonably priced options available.
After completing the boot camp, I would have to say that it is definitely more for intermediate UX designers. While I did learn a lot, I feel the learning curve was a little steeper than I anticipated. Of course, the added benefit is access to their a la carte courses that can help fill those gaps.
I did enjoy working with my assigned mentor and the mentor selection process, in general, was a great experience. I do wish they are more conscious of setting up mentors with mentees in different timezones. It made it difficult, but not impossible, to work with my mentor. It also made it hard to want to continue a mentor/mentee relationship after the fact.
The content was great, and one thing they do well is helping you with your portfolio and getting ready for job interviews. Of course, this is only useful if you can get job interviews. I really wasn't shown how to network or find jobs as a UX designer. I had to learn on my own and reach out to others in the UX community.
I would recommend this boot camp for those who have the basics down and are just looking to get over the finish line.
- Excellent Mentorship- 1/28/2021Daniel Almeida • Designer • Student • Course: Get a New Job in UX Design Bootcamp • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI've been working as a Designer since 2010 but I had a break in 2016 to pursue other things for a while. I had decided to join the IDF UX Bootcamp in order to update portfolio and to get more knowledge in user research methods. My mentor was amazing, she helped me with all questions and doubts I had and we both got to work out how we would approach my projects from beginning to end.
If you have any doubts about the UX job market or UX processes, in general, this Bootcamp is perfect for you!
- Amazing experience that really worth the price!- 1/25/2021Sandra • Head of UX design • Course: Get a New Job in UX Design Bootcamp • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInThe bootcamp from IDF is amazing! It is the best way to learn to have a mentor and to be able to work on real projects.
Big plus, IDF is a non-profit school which makes the price of the bootcamp unbeatable! I highly recommend this bootcamp. Education should always be non-profit.
- UX Bootcamp- 1/25/2021Maria • Course: Get a New Job in UX Design Bootcamp • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInAll in all I had a very positive experience with IDF UX Bootcamp. Schedule and program was well thought, mentor was very helpful and knowledgeable. The only recommendation I would give to those who plan to start this course is to learn tools before subscribe. It will help you to concentrate more on your projects rather than spending time on learning basics. The rest was great.

- UX Bootcamp. Get a New Job in UX Design- 1/11/2021Arkadiy • UX Designer • Student • Course: Get a New Job in UX Design Bootcamp • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI highly recommend the UX Bootcamp and the IDF school in general. The Bootcamp gives an incredible uplift in a couple of months, provides unique materials and what was most important for me — a highly experienced mentor. I can not give a review of the job assistance yet, some time is needed (let's say 5 stars for now) But other points are definitely 5/5.
