    Profesional mentors, well organised curriculum

    My adventure with Career Foundry started after I decided I wanted to improve my skills as a UX designer. I also completed their Amazon Alexa course with them. Both the UX course and the Amazon Alexa course were amazing! Their content was well organised, and often updated. Their professional mentors and tutors were always happy to help. They also make you feel like they genuinely want you succeed! Also, their Slack community was one of the best ones I've belong to: both the students and stu...

    Unlike anything else out there!

    To preface, I have only been in Careerfoundry's UX Design course for a month. Now with that being said, it has been an absolutely marvelous month. This is not a school, this is an opportunity. If something is not working for you, the guys at CF will find a way to make it work. If you're not feeling motivated, they'll find a way to motivate you. There is also freedom; while there are soft deadlines and structure, the amount of freedom given relieves the "chore" vibe you mig...

    It is life changing!

    I am currently enrolled in UI design course from Careerfoundry, & I am so glad that I made this decision. There course is built brilliantly! Teaching you step by step all the necessary tools & skills, & alongwith that you have guidance from industry experts as your dedicated tutor & mentor, advisors & fellow students on platforms like slack. Managing a busy life with a two year toddler is a challenge but their flexible schedule allows me to study as per by convenience. ...

    Highly Recommended!

    When I was looking for a UX program, I consulted UX experts for their recommendations. Actually, that is how I found out about Careerfoundry UX Design. 

    As a student now, I can highly recommend the Careerfoundry UX Design program. It is a very well-structured, intense and challenging program. I am very satisfied with the program. I am learning a lot by doing and improving my work with the feedback from my teacher and mentor.

    Great program

    I have really enjoyed my overall experience with CF.  Everyone I have met so far have been super friendly and helpful, from their support staffs to expert tutors. The curriculum (in terms of explaining  concepts and assignments seem) to be a little unclear at times and that’s natural since it is a self study program. Though their staff and other students are generally willing to offer help and advice as long as you are willing to reach out.

    Very satisfied

    I've started the UX design course with Career Foudry on 24 of June.

    The courses are easy to follow, to understand and they're really entertaining. You have links to other sources and videos from UX experts with clarifications on the course. At the end of every course there is a task and you need to submit 3 task per week. You are assigned a tutor and a mentor and the tasks are always corrected by the end oof the day when you submitted them, or the day after. My tutor always gave ...

    Exceeded my expectations

    I am halfway through my UI design course at Career Foundry and so far I had a very positive experience. The material is built up very well, and there are always extra reading materials so you can dig yourself deep into any topic. The tutors and mentors are very responsive and passionate about their subject. Probably the most valuable service you get here are the monthly video calls with your mentor. I would also mention the student projects as a differentiator. These projects are very hands ...

I've heard about UX and it interested me since the beginning! But... "I have to get some experience and education, how I am gonna do it ?" I thought. Then I found out this amazing online course! It is very well explained and its providing very good tutors and mentors.
