From here you get immersed in the world of interface design, guided by a tutor and industry professional (mentor). Towards the end of the course you are then asked to choose a specialisation, which where I'm nearly at right now! You can choose from different options, including animation and developing.
I've really enjoyed the course so far, and most importantly, it has been very challenging (it would be odd if it were too easy!). All the people at CareerFoundry are really friendly and they really keep you on your toes and check-in on you regularly to see how you're doing. The main benefit of the course, apart from the written content, is the tutor and mentor focussed learning. You get access to people who really are pros in the industry and they will properly and honestly help you with your work.
You also get career guidance and support from a specialist, which is where I'm at at the moment, and again they are really helpful and friendly.
So far so good for me! It is a lot of work, and you will have to put the time in, but I do feel as though I'm getting somewhere. I suppose it's also worth adding that I'm a complete new-starter to design!- Anshika SrivastavaStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineJun 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

It is a very well-designed course with a great approach to presenting material. The material is extensive and covers all important aspects. The course is divided into Achievements and at the end of each Achievement you have a project to add to your portfolio (5 projects in total). You get a Mentor who reviews your projects (and you can book weekly video calls), and a tutor who reviews your daily tasks. The latter unfortunately doesn’t leave much comments on your exercises and just makes ...It is a very well-designed course with a great approach to presenting material. The material is extensive and covers all important aspects. The course is divided into Achievements and at the end of each Achievement you have a project to add to your portfolio (5 projects in total). You get a Mentor who reviews your projects (and you can book weekly video calls), and a tutor who reviews your daily tasks. The latter unfortunately doesn’t leave much comments on your exercises and just makes sure you stick to the task given, which sometimes makes you re-do lots of stuff at the end if the project, when you mentor finally reviews it. - ValerioStudent • UX Designer • OnlineJun 14, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Awesome Experience
I'm really liking the CareerFoundry UI Design Program. It is extremely informative and allows you the ability to learn new skills and practice them on your own time. The tutors and mentors are extremely responsive and provide exceptional feedback on your work - highly recommend! - AnastasiaUX Designer • OnlineJun 12, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The best online UX course
CF UX online course is the best one I ever tried. The structure and content of the course are logical and good to understand.The help and support of mentors and tutors are great! Highly to recommend. - Margaret NicholStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineJun 11, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great mentoring!
I chose CareerFoundry due to its balance of cost/program length/provided resources and I must say that I think it has been a great value so far. But like most things, you get out what you put in.
Obviously due to its nature as a bootcamp it is somewhat limited in scope, but where this program shines is in it’s provided mentoring.

Obviously due to its nature as a bootcamp it is somewhat limited in scope, but where this program shines is in it’s provided mentoring. I see the provided readings/exercises as a great starting point, then delve deeper with my mentor to really understand real world applications of my new knowledge. I truly recommend taking full advantage of the numerous (99) mentor calls provided with the course.
I speak with my mentor every week, he’s very knowledgeable and I can tell that he’s eager to help me learn and grow.
I’m about 2/3 of the way through my immersion course and am honestly engaged with the app I’ve been building through the course. am looking forward to the specialization course that will follow and plan to make full use of the Job Prep course as well. (I’ve left job assistance neutral at 3stars as I haven’t reached that point yet) - Simon WilliamsApplicant • UX Designer • OnlineJun 11, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

From start to finish I have been supported throughout my course. Although I am at the early stage of my UX career, I feel very confident that the skills that I have learned, are to a very good standard in this industry.
The material provided was easy to follow and there was plenty of reference material. And if that was not enough, there are tutors, mentors, advisors, a slack community and other students that were willing to help at the drop of a hat.
All in all, a fabulous experience with an organisation that is well structured.
I do have one request and this probably applies to all! It would be great to see how accessibility is applied to design at the very early stages of the design thinking process. We are all aware of the lack of accessibility in today´s society and courses like this and any other, are creating the designers of the future. It is imperitive that change is made by designers, businesses believe there are too many challenges, designers will provide the solutions, rant over :-)
Wish you guys all the best and will certainly be looking at other courses in the near future.

I’m a little more than halfway through the course and it’s going great.

I never thought I would be able to finish a program (let alone an online one) but CareerFoundry proved me wrong. I have been in and out of college for the better part of a decade and it just never stuck for me. I really thought something was wrong with me and that I would never be able to vamp up my resume or be taken seriously.

I really thought something was wrong with me and that I would never be able to vamp up my resume or be taken seriously. CareerFoundry has the perfect approuch for people who learn best with hands on assingments and diving into projects where you are taking away so much more than any classroom enviroment would offer. My self esteem is the highest its ever been and I feel confident CareerFoundry is giving me all the things I never thought I would have. If you are like me and have given up on learning, this is the porgram for you. - Julia TownsendStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineJun 11, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Amazing experience
I stepped out of my comfort zone and signed up for CareerFoundry not knowing what to expect. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!
The course work, tutors, mentor, and student advisors made me feel supported and equipped. I highly recommend CareerFoundry!
