UX Academy

Took the UX Foundations course and completed within 4 weeks to be able to join the upcoming cohort in December and was very satisfied. While there is a lot of information to retain and the pace I chose to complete this course could sometimes feel overwhelming, the support from my mentor put my mind at ease. One of the best parts of this program is the mentorship. I've taken previous bootcamps from other competitors and did not receive this 1:1 support and can say the program is worth every penny. 

During this program I gained a lot of focus and growth through practical exercises and built a solid foundation in UX design principles. Given my extensive background, there was the possibility that I could have tested out of Foundations - I'm glad I decided against that option. I had slight doubts about the pace and whether or not I could stay on track and deliver something that would over exceed even my own expectations. Hands down, mentorship from industry professionals accelerated my learning and research to quickly prepare me for the UX Academy. Overall, I've enhanced my creativity, which will help me continue to upgrade my skills and make a major career shift a little further down the road.

Complete scam. Waste of money, time, and effort. Better off self teaching yourself development, coding, UXUI, and analytics skills and avoiding this fake bootcamp. Zero support, false advertising, and no real educators. Any mention of job support is a flat out lie. Plenty of resources exist to learn yourself and avoid a heaping pile of bullshit. I completed the course in data analytics after first pursuing UXUI. My resulting new skills and education in these areas plus development came only from external mentors and tools. This fake bootcamp eroded my computer and drained my mental health, leading me to seek therapy. But I'd be damned if I did not still pursue the education I wanted. Do not let Ironhack bring you down! Anyone deserves better. I am lucky to be resilient and resourceful to have survived for how this program brings people down.

This course gave me everything I needed to succeed in the UX/UI Academy. I learned so much about this industry and the tools that are used. I am shifting careers and knew basically nothing about UX/UI before this program and thank goodness I decided to do this before I jumped into the full UX/UI Academy. Without the skills and design eye that this course taught me, I feel confident that I will be successful in the full program. My mentor was invaluable in honing my skills and helped guide me along this process. Thanks to her kind words and guidance I now feel confident that this is the career for me. I cannot give this preparatory course enough credit for setting me up for the next step in my career journey. 11/10

Overall, Designlab is an exceptional online learning platform that provides students with the tools and support they need to become skilled designers. With its personalized mentorship program, engaging curriculum, and experienced instructors, Designlab is an excellent choice for anyone looking to learn design. I highly recommend it!

I’m currently going through this UX/UI bootcamp, and it’s been an amazing journey so far! The curriculum is structured in a way that builds a strong foundation in both UX and UI design, and each week I feel more confident in my skills. 

The tutors are incredibly knowledgeable and always available to answer questions and offer guidance.What I love most is the hands-on approach. Every module includes real-world projects that allow me to apply what I’m learning, so I’m not just absorbing theory—I’m actively building my portfolio.

This is a great foundation course to learn about good theory and learn how to use Figma with great tips. 
I enjoyed the course and I felt like I learned a lot. Having a mentor is helpful, I got along great with my mentor. My mentor helps to iterate my work as well as teaches me how to approach a project and how to critique the work. 
It is a very flexible program, I could learn it at my own pace while working full-time. I think that this foundation course  is essential to take this foundation course before joining the UX Academy.
