    Good structure and material

    I really enjoyed the course and the material. I thought it the UI course was very well structured giving you a good understanding of how everything is connected. The course also includes your basic UX as you will always come across that. 

    I did the course fulltime in 4 months which is a good amount of time but it is still a tightly run ship. I worked as a designer beforehand so it was not all new stuff but I believe some prior experience is very helpful for the UI course.

    Very Helpful Resource

    I'm the kind of person that needs structure and deadlines to get my self into gear. Carreer Foundry was a great platform for me to learn UX Design and I don't think I would have stayed focused trying to learn on my own. The Course material is extremely informative and the project based learning helps build your portfolio. The Mentors and Tutors are very helpful in guiding you on the right track to getting your design skills where they need to be.

    Changing careers made easy

    AtI'm currently enrolled in the UI Design course at CareerFoundry, and I'm almost halfway through. So far, it's been a very positive experience. Student advisors, tutors, mentors and fellow students respect each other and are very supportive and helpful. The lessons are interesting and suitable for people with or without previous knowledge or experience in, for example, graphic design. Instructions for tasks are clear and there is a step by step increase of complexity as the course continu...

    Good Program!

    The Careerfoundry Programm is a good start into the world of UX! I really enjoy this course and that it offers the lectures in small chunks, while the work comes in small, doable tasks, but leads in the end to a good prototype that you can showcase in your portfolio. A lot of additional links are offered for more in depth reading and you'll have access to your course even when it finished, so it's always possible to come back and reread stuff. The mentors and tutors you get are super aweso...

    This school understand the upcoming professions and allows anyone to swap careers with their well designed programs. I am taking the UX design certification with no background in design at all and learning from zero, I will be soon ready to join the workforce of this incredible and on the rise career. I highly recommend CareerFoundry.

    Proper Motivation to Jump Start New Career

    As a current student, I am halfway through my UX design course and have already learned so much. The way CareerFoundry structures the courses and breaks everything down into bite-sized tasks really helps me plan my week while maintaining my fulltime job. I just started the bonus job preparation course and I am already excited about the self-evaluation and portfolio help I will receive from professionals around the world. I am looking forward to the next half of the course load and what a f...

    UX Design course review

    I have been learning a lot and really enjoying the course. The tutor and montor are very helpful and they give me good advice. It is really helpful to be able to talk to my mentor on Skype every week. I can ask her questions about my career, portfolio and so on. Also, it is great to have flexible hours to work on my projects.

    UX course

    What I like is how the course is built up, starting with the intro course and getting to know the overall process early on plus having an idea of what to expect later on with the immersion course. 

    I was also pleased to see that there was a short section about design strategy, I understand this itself is a whole lesson but it was good to have an introduction to this. 

    I noticed I did not use the right side menu options with mail, and help that much later on in the lesso...

    UI Design: The Best Decision

    Only one month after finishing the UI Design course, I landed a job as a Junior UX/UI Designer in Berlin. Having crossed paths with CareerFoundry (CF) was the best decision in my Professional Career.

    I have a background in Communication and Media Design. For two years I worked designing graphics for museum exhibitions. However, I was always curious about UI.

    A friend of mine was taking the UX course and he recommended me to talk with a CF Agent, to discuss my possibilit...

    Some Good, Some Bad

    Overall the experience was fine. In the beginning I felt really positively about it — as someone with no design background, I wanted a fair amount of hand-holding, and my tutor was wonderful, very responsive and helpful. But towards the end I grew frustrated with what I perceived as lessons written by CF as being somewhat "phoned in" — I spent the vast majority of the time searching the internet for answers that should have been expanded upon in the course. Another major point of frustrati...

    Hi Casey,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback.

    We are sorry that your experience did not match your expectations, and we are always open to feedback in order to improve the product we offer. We would very much like the opportunity to investigate your case further, as the points that you have cited are extremely uncommon for the vast majority of our students.

    Please contact us at feedback@careerfoundry.com. We would like to use this opportunity to get a deeper insight into the curriculum modules you struggled with. Our programs are improved based on student's feedback. Your input will be very appreciated.

    As for the real project work, our tasks are created based on the industry requirements. Your Mentor also provides you with a detailed guidance coming from his knowledge of the field. There are very few bootcamps offering a collaboration with real clients. Generally, e-learning platforms aim to recreate real-life challenges in their curriculum. As mentioned earlier, please let us know what exactly didn't work for you here, so we could check.

    We look forward to hearing from you and addressing the points raised.

    Best regards,

    Your CareerFoundry Team

    Very impressed so far!

    I'm new to Graphic design and two months into the UI course. These are my key take aways.

    2. The curriculum is paced very well introducing theory and technical concepts in a good order. 

    3. The human element of Career Foundry is unmatched. You always have access to your tutor, mentor, and career advisors. Your advisors will check in from time to time, and are so quick t...
