    Great course!

    This course was a great introduction to UX design. I'm very glad I signed up for it, and I learned a lot over the span of a few months. My mentor was amazing and so knowledgeable. I really liked that I could complete projects at my own pace. I was working full-time when I signed up, so some weeks I made massive progress on my projects and some weeks I could only commit a few hours to my projects. Because I took this course, I was able to change my career path and find a UX design job in no...

    Great course to get started in the UX field

    This course is for anyone who is a beginner to UX and if they are anticipating whether this field is for them or not. I am from Engineering background - no art or design background whatsoever but I had heard about UX design and was interested in this field but the courses out there are so damn expensive that I left the thought. I did try some online courses but they were not so great and then I came across this course from Ithakai. For the price they charge for this course, I think its tot...

    Good Introduction to UX

    I took several UX courses online but I found I was having a hard time getting interest in positions I was applying to. I decided to enroll in ITHAKAI because I wanted to keep leanring UX while taking an in-person class (which are hard to find in Orange County let alone in UX), and also try to improve my portfolio.

    The UX intensive program at ITHAKAI goes very fast, moreso if you are also working like I was, but you learn a lot. There were things that I learned that I was doing wr...

    Great option for learning UX and getting started on your portfolio.

    I chose Ithakai for numerous reasons. 1. It was in person. I had tried doing some online bootcamps like CareerFoundry and Bloc but found that it was difficult to maintain motivation and I needed that person-to-person contact. 2. It was part-time. Classes were only twice a week for 2 hr sessions. You don't have to completely uproot your life in order to change careers. 3. It was one of the more affordable in-person bootcamps (compared to General Assembly, for example, which is $13,500 for a...

    Perfect for students in SoCal

    I really enjoy the UX research program at ITHAKAI. Here is my overall experience:

    1. Small Class Size: My instructors are able to provide each student with more individual attention.

    2. Project Based Learning: We actually work on the professional UX projects to solve users' challenge.  

    3. Reasonable Tuition: Compared with other UX programs in SoCal, their class schedule, tuition and payment options are definitely ...

    Great Team

    I loved doing the hands-on in-class work. I believed thinking on my feet to complete the assignment under time constraints really challenged to learn a lot. I felt comfortable asking questions. Everyone was great! I felt very comfortable asking questions and doing the presentations. I received very valuable feedback.

    Great class, wonderful instructors

    I have been working in the IT industry for 5 years. I had the title of a developer, but also adopted design in my job responsibilites. I came to Ithakai to get more formal training about UX with the goal to transition my career to soley design.

    The curriculum that was taught was straightforward and you can learn a lot and build a good portfolio piece if you put in the hard work. The instructors really worked with everyone to make sure the material was understood. They really seem...
