UX Design Certification
The UX design course is amazing, so in depth in each of the various facets of the field - diving into some psychology, behaviours, analysis and more. Even without trying, you also pick up a great deal of UI and design knowledge which is great, it was always something I feared I wasn’t the best at - the creative side.

Out with the course curriculum, the tutors and mentors I’ve been given have been super helpful, from quick reviewing of tasks and achievements, to providing rich and in depth feedback, with links to further reading.
Not forgetting the student advisors, although I’ve had limited experience with them, anytime I’ve needed to reach out they are so welcoming and friendly - definitely good to have. - Celeste PattenStudent • OnlineAug 21, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Good school for aspiring UX designers
I find the course pretty great, I like my tutor and receive lots of good personal feedback. I wished that they taught more about how to use programs such as adobe xd as I have had to look up a lot of tutorials on YouTube to teach myself. Other than that I think the course is quite good and I am excited and hopeful to see how it aids me when I start the job hunt. - AndreaUX Designer • Graduate • UX Designer • OnlineAug 15, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UX Design Course
I have learned all the skills, tools and processes of UX design.
A mentor, a UX lead in the industry with a lot of industry experience, is available in numerous video calls and has given me many tips and answered all my questions.
All skills are first explained in text form and then you have to complete the corresponding task, which gave me a high learning effectiveness. I´m very satisfied thanks to the extensive program, the learning by doing method and the great mentor.

The perfect place to start your career in UX

At first, things seemed quite complicated, while looking at the portfolios of several of the graduates, I thought I couldn't handle something like this. Now that I'm at the end of the course, I realize that the curriculum is so structured that things happen smoothly and gradually, and in the rare cases where I've felt frustrated, I've always had tremendous support from both my mentor and my tutor. In the beginning, everyone goes through an orientation course, where they are introduced to the learning platform, as well as to what they can expect as support from their mentor and tutor. Ultimately, I can say that they both not only do a great job, but also do things that they are not normally required to do. This support is really important, especially for people who have no previous experience in this field of work! - N.

I enjoy Careerfoundry. I have a better knowledge in the UI field and the tools being used. There is a great support from my tutor and mentors if I have any questions or confused on. Real job projects that were assigned after each read helped a lot as well. Within each read there are videos and examples of work that helped me better understand what is expected out of each hand over.

Last year before Careerfoundry I invested my time with another bootcamp school, I didn't enjoy it as much and learn as much as I did with Careerfoundry. Im happy I took this course online after many hesitations. The Covid-19 happened and gave me a push.

My experience on this course has been excellent. Really great feedback and support from the tutors and the mentors. And the content is really well written, there is a fair amount of reading - but there are videos for anything that needs more explaining.
