    UI Design Program

    Great course content. So many articles and resources provided on the side to increase your skills. Learning system is quite interesting as it encourages you to apply what you have learnt on every lesson while building a larger project.

    UI Design. Learning with love.

    A learnable, multitasking and comfortable course that allows students to push their skills to the maximum and enrich their curiosity day after day. Apart from the rich and understandable contents, apart from the right way of teaching (step by step and with a lot of practice) I fell in love with the people around this course: always willing to improve your work with passion and always willing to make you feel welcome in the family ... This vibration generates the best wave to find connect...

    The course is very interesting and I'm receiving a lot of support. I would be happy if I could have more calls with my mentor.

    UX Desinger

    I'm really learning a lot with the UX course. Getting out of my comfort zone is not easy. I'm 27 years IT person and changing the direction of my professional life is not only a challenge but it's a necessity for me because I see my area struggling because of the same ideas for so long. UX is a new, refreshing, and very appealing area that I'm investing time and money and I believe it's worth it.

    UX Designer Full Time Course

    I'm in my 4th month of the UX Designer Course with CareerFoundry. From the beginning on, the support and provided assistance during the application and during the course has been just awesome! The course itself is very well structured and CF definitely figured out the good way between the theory and practical parts. The theory is kept rather on the shorter side - readings are between 20-40 minutes (not included the optional resources). They stress on practical parts (tas...

    Best decision I’ve made in years

    I compared lots of different UX courses before settling for Career Foundry and am so happy I did. The mentors and tutors are always available to speak to and get back within minutes/hours, tasks are manageable yet challenging and I never thought I would enjoy doing something so much. Deciding to go into UX is the best decision I’ve made in years and although I cannot wait to start my first job as UX designer, I would be sad for the course to finish because it’s such a good feeling to rea...

    UX Design Program

    This program is fantastic. Making a career change is no easy task, Career foundry provides a very detailed roadmap on how to get there. The course provides industry relevant and up-to-date information. Students are tasked with an assignment after each lesson to ensure a greater understanding of the material and actually ensures students develop the skills necessary to work in the field of UX Design. The support and feedback provided by a tutor and mentor is invaluable and I feel it is th...

    UX Design program

    I was a bit sceptical in the beginning about online course, but I am so happy now and so glad I have chosen CareerFoundry, all in one: the course itself, the task and the assistance is so great! The best thing that on my career change program I have mentors (and not only one!!) who are helping me, they are like my angels, supporting me then I am unmotivated or just stuck at some task, they give me tips and encourage me on my way to become a designer. I love the setting of the course and ...

    UX Design Immersion

    CareerFoundry has been a great online experience for me. I tried another bootcamp from a competitor company previous to starting the UX Immersion course at CareerFoundry, and it did not even compare to it in any way. I really have loved the structure of the lesson plans, and the quizzes and tasks that follow them. Really enjoy that I not only get to digest the information but apply it to projects that will be showcased in my portfolio at the end. The mentors are all very knowledgeable, b...
