    UX Immersion review

    CareerFoundry was my choice for a career change. Due to Covid-19, my professional occupancy was no longer viable and the time came to take a leap.
    Never I felt lack of support either from the Students Advisors, and specially from my Tutor and my Mentor. I finished my course 5 months ahead of time, which allowed me to find a job sooner than expected. 
    The curriculum is broad and covers very deeply all the aspects of UX. I would just introduce a few lessons about UI, specifically sof...

    UI Design - ex student

    I enrolled in the UI Design course of Careerfoundry on December 2019 and I finished up the Bootcamp in December 2020, while working full-time. 
    In the beginning, I was afraid not to be good enough because I have never studied design before the course, and I didn't have any experience in the field, but as soon as I joined the Bootcamp I met many people all over the world like me, and I received all the support I needed from my tutor, my mentor and my career coach, too.

    My experience at CareerFoundry has been great! A caring onboarding team made the registration process quick and easy! My tutor and mentor have been a wealth of knowledge and encouragement. I am enrolled in the UI Design course and I've been enjoying every lesson, learning as much as I can, submitting tasks, learning from my mistakes, and completing my achievements. I am excited to see where my CareerFoundry journey takes me!

    Landed Web Developer Job Before Graduation

    CareerFoundry is a phenomenal bootcamp that got me hired before I finished the program.  I came into the program with some previous education and some volunteer experience.  I learned far more in my time with CF than I had in years of self-study.  Having a clear, concise, and well thought out curriculum made all the difference.  In addition the CF slack community helped me make great connections and relationships.  I was hired through their slack community job board around halfway into t...

    UI Design program

    I had a great experience with CareerFoundry. The online lessons were easy to follow, yet very informational and relevant. They assign you a tutor and a mentor, which I found to be very helpful to bridge the gap of online learning. I learned so much more than I would have on my own. I also elected to do the career prep course which they offered at no additional cost- this I found to be beneficial in building my portfolio, resume, and confidence in starting my new career. I am happy to say...

    CareerFoundry are true pros!

    In a bid to upskill I did some research and felt that Career Foundry stood apart from the competition. Never have I enjoyed online learning this much and they excel in all areas - content, course quality, interface and student support are all spot on.

    Best decision enrolling with CF

    The course with careerfoundry is outstanding, everything needed to prepare for being a UX designer is covered. There is very valuable feedback provided throughout from both a tutor & a mentor. Although it is possible to work at the pace most suitable, there is a great progress bar alongside time passed on the course, to ensure you never fall behind. I have really enjoyed working on the projects so far, and I will be very prepared, with a polished portfolio by the end of this course.<...
