VUI design
I was really satisfied with this course. The theory is clear and well-documented but it would need a refresh. Especially in a fast-developing field like VUI design.
There is a good balance between theory and practice and the tasks are interesting. I like how you can challenge yourself as much as you want, so you can stand out if you put in the work.It is quite intense so you really have to work for the certification which makes it even more satisfying to obtain.

Best choice I ever made
It took me years to figure it out if it's the right choice to enrol or not.

During these years I kept browsing all the tutorials that I could find on Youtube and I was happy with the results but I didn't know why I was coming back to Careerfoundry to check their program. You can learn a lot without paying and there is a great free tutorial as well in the ocean of information that you can on the internet. I was overwhelmed with all these tutorials and though that I wasn't improving as I expected, so I took the decision to enrol and have a school like the style to keep myself under "observation". The best choice I ever made.
I was lucky to have a superb tutor(Leticia) which helped a lot to have confidence and pay attention to the details. Sometimes the mistake was so small that you need to zoom 1000% to spot them and she did it all the time. She also went the extra mile to teach me that I need to improve my writing skills so I can work efficiently with the team and avoid misunderstanding that can delay a project(I'm not a native English speaker). The mentor(Shpetim) is extremely competent and professional and always straight to the point when it comes to providing feedback and even chatting about our daily life too!
In this course, you're paying for the Mentor and Tutor and it deserves every penny because in 6 months I've seen a huge improvement and I'm more confident about my skills. Plus you have access to your course forever, so you can come back when you need to refresh something. The full journey is split into four parts: Intro to UI Design, UI Immersion, your choice of one specialization (Frontend Development for Designers, or Voice User Interface Design), and Job Preparation.
Plus you have a lot of discounts to buy the majority of the software that we may need. I bought Sketch for 50£!
If you are like me that you think 1000 time before spending money and that you can avoid it by using Youtube etc, just save your time and enrol with them. The time spent on Youtube will cost more than what you will spend on Careerfoundry. You know...time is a gift but wasted time has a huge cost! Don't do my mistake!

CareerFoundry exceeded my expectations
I am very grateful with the careerfoundry team. The course exceeded my expectations, I developed skills that I thought I did not have such as creativity.
I loved that throughout the course my tutor and mentor were always supporting and giving me the best advice to improve myself. Now that I almost finished the course, I can't wait to start working on my dream job - AndreaWeb/Graphic Designer • Student • UX Design Program • OnlineOct 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Learning something new without the stress
I was apprehensive initially, but the hands-on experience in learning while designing is great. The tutors and mentors are really passionate about the subject and push you to do the same. Nearing the end of the course, but I am in awe of the amount of material access throughout the course.

My experience as an Asian doing the CF UI Immersion course
Before I started with CF, (like many others) I did some research on a few other bootcamps - locally and remotely. I think many out there are very UX-driven in the terms of their curriculum. I'm actually transitioning from a graphic designer and I didn't want to lose my design roots entirely so I still wanted some UX but more UI. Thus, eventually found myself resonating with this UI Design Immersion course. It has been a fulfilling journey so far - definitely lots of discipline required. ...Before I started with CF, (like many others) I did some research on a few other bootcamps - locally and remotely.

The whole course structure is very structured. All the resources are quite comprehensive and explained very clearly. There are timelines to keep you in check every week which is very useful. But most important of all, it's the access to a mentor and tutor that stood out for me. Both of mine have been very responsive to my questions. Another plus point would also be meeting and sharing with the community of CF students on a remote platform. :) - Kavitha MunishamappaStudent • Student • UI Design Program • OnlineOct 08, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Life changing Experience.
After engineering and a gap of many years wanted to get back to my career. In the process enquired about all the boot camps available. I personally selected CAREERFOUNDRY, thank god did not repent on my decision. They have a very structured program that gives students immense confidence and at the same time, it gives us real experience. The mentor and tutors are amazing.
