    My experience with the Career Foundry UX program

    Making the decision to change careers was not an easy one. The idea of ​​learning something new and building a career from it is a bit scary, which is why when I made this decision I spent a lot of time evaluating different online course options, and I was very careful to choose one that would provide me with what I need and that fits my needs  (I currently work part time).
    I started studying at CareerFoundry 3 months ago and so far my experience has been satisfactory. I have a mentor...

    UX Design Course

    I am half way through the course and I am really enjoying the course. I have access to all kinds of materials related to UX Design, the assignments are very well designed. I am enjoying every bit of the program as well as learning much more than I expected. I have a strong support system in the form of my tutor and mentor who are always there to clarify my doubts. The course covers all the topics related to UX design, consistent structure throughout and perfectly fits into my schedule.

    Insightful views of UX Design

    I’m a UX student nearing the end of the UX immersive part of the course. So far, I’ve learned a lot about the field I’m looking to go into, and CareerFoundry also makes sure that you know the important details about related fields that will interact with UX as well (Web Design, UI Design, etc.). I havent had the chance to do much job prep work for the job guarantee part of the course, but the call I’ve had with the job prep mentor went well!

    UX Design

    I'm nearly halfway through this course, studying full time. So far, the tutor and mentor support has been excellent, with speedy and constructive responses to my coursework submissions (usually within a few hours). I think there is a limit to the number of hours you can book with your mentor, but it's nearly impossible to reach this. I've found the mentor sessions invaluable for understanding how the course content fits into a real-world scenario. Your mentor has a good awareness of the ...

    Taking a career leap with career foundry!

    I'm thoroughly enjoying the career foundry course! I love how flexible the program is; you can study as much or as little as you want each week. The lessons are detailed, and you are never alone in the journey! There is a great community of other students on slack that help support and motivate each other. I'd like more visual elements to the teaching side, this is a personal opinion as I am ADHD and struggle to read so much online. My only criticism would be that the responses from tuto...

    CareerFoundry has your back

    After doing my research and reading about Career Foundry, I decided to sign-up for their 5 days’ free course which was very helpful. I started with them because I read that I will have a mentor, a tutor, and student advisors. I am about to finish the UX Designer course and so far I am happy. Things happen and no school is perfect, but the fact that they improve everyday matters to me, and I can say that they are always there to support in case I need help. I am self motivated and am tota...
