    Good Entrypoint into the World of UX

    I’m currently enrolled in the UX Design course with Career Foundry. Prior to this I spoke to a friend who had also completed the course and overall had mainly positive things to say about it.

    I find the curriculum good - some of the tasks here and there feel somewhat pointless given the lack of “real world setting” and its more of a thought experiment in terms of “imagine you’re on a larger team with different stakeholders” - but overall I’m quite happy with the new input and meth...

    UX Design Program - Immersion

    The UX Design course was a really great experience, the tutors and mentors really know the topics and I found that they pushed me to go further and take an extra step which helped me feel engaged and also deepened my understanding and importance of UX. I was hesitant at first but now as I am nearing completion, I feel very confident in my future. Thank you all at Career Foundry!

    Ux design course

    I found it a good way to learn something new or even make a career change. All the lessons are easy to understand, besides that, you have extra informative material regarding the topic of the lesson, and you feel all the time support by the tutor and mentor, assigned to you since the beginning of the course. In general, I think it's a very complete course which I would recommend to others.

    UX Immersion Course

    I had a really good experience with Career Foundry. I was able to do the course through the German Agentur für Arbeit, which meant that I did not have to pay for the course myself. I worked on it an average of about 30hrs per week, and it took me 5.3 months to complete during which I also did some job shadowing at a start-up out our my own initiative. 

    I thought the content of the course was really great especially for a beginner in UX design. My background in Fashion design helpe...

    I have nothing but great things to say about CareerFoundry. My instructors have been amazing, in every way, throughout my time as a student, and that has been the most important aspect of my entire experience. CF has built a community of supportive, engaging, and friendly people that want nothing more than to help and guide you through the process of becoming the UX Designer (in my case) you are meant to be.
