CareerFoundry

I went with CareerFoundry after looking into three (Tradecraft, Springboard, and General Assembly) back in June 2018. I went with CareerFoundry because at that point, I came with no experience (just eagerness and determination!) and wanted the job guarantee, which Springboard did not have at that time. I have to say this was the best decision for me at that time because now it is May 2019 and I am very confident I have the skills necessary to transition into a UX career.

There are weekly Skype calls with a mentor, the ability to specialize in another skill (learn more UI, learn VUI, or a bit of front-end coding) to add an extra piece to your portfolio. The purpose of these UX programs is not the certificate of completion, per se, but more so you leave with a portfolio that you're pro...

I'm just finishing up the UX Fundamentals portion of my UX Design immersive and am loving it! It's super convenient and fits into my lifestyle easily, allowing flexibility in my schedule. The content and courses are written and presented in a super clear way, paired with tasks to apply the learnings taken from the readings. For my lifestyle, budget, and learning goals, this camp has been a really great fit!

I highly recommend the course, It's packed with information but they deliver it in an easily digestible way and without it feeling overwhelming, the course as a task for every exercise you complete ensuring that you learn by actually doing instead of just reading. My instructors were great, they have helped across my journey, they provided great information on what I was doing and how to improve and sources to learn more from. The only reason I gave curriculum 4 stars, is because I would've liked to see more videos, the course still has some. All in all, it's a great course!

I have had a great experience with CF. Very helpful tutor and mentor through out the course-work.

I'm very happy with the course! It's accessible for non-english native speaker, the team is also vers supportive and responsive :) Changing career is not easy, but everything is made to motivate the students. The community out there is also very supportive! Great experience, I'll highly recommend the course! Kind regards, Ewen

I've just completed my UX Design course and I'm now doing the Specialization course.

Although I had a hard time towards the middle of the course due to several reasons, I was able to get the help I needed. More specifically, the co-founder Martin reached out to me personally and offered to help me solve my issue. I really appreciate the nice gesture and the fact that he is really trying to help students achieve their goals. Thanks, Martin!

My tutor- Carlo and my mentor- Margarida are amazing too! They are both highly experienced in the industry and they are always there to help. I requested for Carlo to be my mentor in my Specialization course too and it was certainly the right decision! He's been really helpful; not only that he makes sure I am on the right track, he also gives ...

The UX course is challenging and highly insightful. With the help of my wonderful tutor, mentor, and career specialist, I'm feeling very confident in the transition of my career into the field of UX/UI. I'm already getting a lot of lots of calls from recruiters and interviewing within a few months of graduating. Thanks, CareerFoundry!

I’m almost through my UX Immersion course at CareerFoundry and i’m excited to get back into the work force as a UX Designer. The course has been amazing. The instructors and mentors have been incredibly supportive (not to mention my fellow students). I would whole heartedly recomend this course to anyone interested in UX or UI Design. You will not regret it.

So I took the UI course. It was very informative, well structured and went very well with all the support I had throughout the course with my mentor, tutor, career advisor and the student advisors. I came across very cool people over on slack. It gave me motivation to be as good as those amazing designers over there. All in all, take this course yesterday!

I went through the UX Design course. The teachers were good and knowledgable for the most part. Most if not all of the information in the courses you can find online for free. I did very well on all of the courses and upon graduation, I tried to get a job. I spent over six months applying for UX jobs and never got a single interview. They have a career coach but they did not really help much. They gave common-sense advice that did not help with the job search in any meaningful way. Because I was a little late meeting with the job coach (they weren't helping me) I was denied the job guarantee. Most of the jobs require that I found required a Masters degree at least. They're not looking to hire anyone with an online certificate. If you're looking for a job transition like I did...

This course is an absolute must if you want to survive as a UI, UX, or UI/UX designer, and if like me, you struggle to sit and teach yourself HTML, CSS and Javascript. The real value with this course is the access to the online tutor. All of the information that I learned and the information that ACTUALLY stayed in my head, was all from being able to ask someone a question, and get a direct answer back. I didn't know that this is how I absorb information the best way possible, but it is.

I landed a UI/UX designer role not long after completing CareerFoundry's UI designer course DISCOUNT LINK: (https://careerfoundry.com/en/referral_registration...

Having decided that UX sounded like something that I could get behind and focus on, I started searching for UX courses. There are so many courses available that I relied on reviews to seal the final decision, so I thought I should add my review as well.

After reading reviews I went with CareerFoundry : UX Designer course. The main reason for choosing this was the reviews, and the job guarantee. Also their interface looked clear and the content really focused on the career changer. and that resonated with me.

Decision made, I started the course in the summer of 2018 and managed to complete it by June/July 2019. The course is tough, it is time consuming and to keep up with deadlines certain other time sacrifices must be made. But I found the course fascinating and I felt really dr...

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 student advisors are active and engaging.

It was such a refreshing and hands-on experience, I can't recommend it enough.

I'm so glad I made the decision to study the UI design course. I was a freelance graphic designer with no real focus on where my creative career was heading. In terms of the course - the material is solid, but the real winner here is the access to a tutor and a mentor. My tutor was by far the best resource for me. I learn better from asking direct questions and having someone walk me through the answers. Also, having someone give real-world examples of how they work as a UI designer really helps to understand how you apply what you're being taught on the course to an actual job or task.

Subject areas of study:

• Brief-writing
• Moodboarding
• Wireframing

I did the CareerFoundry Certified UX Design course. It's been an amazing opportunity for me to go for a career change whilst working in my current role and company. My employer has been very supportive of my choice, which was a bonus. The course provides a thorough overview of the UX design process. The clear focus on practical exercises is really what boosted my learning curve. My tutor and mentor were great: Very experienced and skilled. They provided the right balance of valuable, constructive feedback whilst staying supportive and encouraging when I got a bit lost along the way. I really recommend it if you're thinking about entering the UX area.

Wanted to say how good an experience I had with Career Foundry. I took some convincing to try something new, but after a lot of research I'm so glad I chose this particular course.

The curriculum was laid out in logical steps, starting with learning the software, building your knowledge of design theory and UI/UX, then ended with a strong emphasis on building a professional portfolio.

I knew the course would be tough, but any time I felt stuck or had an issue their support service was right there to help. You also have access to the Career Foundry Slack channels, to reach out for help from your peers on the course.

Finding a job afterwards was obviously hard, but you do have access to regular calls and help from a career specialist to point you in the right direction. Luckily I...

This web development course got me introduced to the development in world wide web by using
HTML,CSS,JavaScript, RoR and many more tools.
Having a mentor and a tutor for any questions regarding coding and mind-set was a great plus.
I really enjoyed the Job Preparation course which is available to anyone doing the course:
I got the best help from a professional to get prepared for the application process,
being ready to start!

This course was based on text content. For me, it would have been easier to follow a
video tutorial but the texts were good overall. Not being an English native speaker,
I could follow the instructions - but since I was a complete newby there was tons of topics
to learn!
If you´re motivated and willing to learn, there is lots to pick up in this co...

CF provides a really valuable and easy to follow UI course. The practical tips and articles at the end of each exercise are helpful as well! I really appreciate the mentor and tutor who are very supportive throughout the course and always available when I need them. I would highly recommend CF for those who are interested to take up new things to learn.

I had a really positive experience with my Career Foundry UI bootcamp. Navigating a new career is a really scary undertaking but career foundry made it (almost) easy! The course tutors, mentors and career specialists are available and helpful to you as much as you need. From my own experience I really feel that the more you put in as a learner, and then job seeker, the more you will get out, the resources are all available to you. The course structure and format is really easy to navigate and builds knowledge effectively and comfortably, with constant opportunities to give feedback and ask questions. My course tutor and mentor were so supportive throughout and I felt I could ask them anything. On completion of the course I had a full portfolio and was ready to start the one month job p...

I started the User Experience Designer course at CareerFoundry in February 2018, completed the course in October and got my first UX job in December. The course gave me the knowledge, experience and portfolio I needed to confidently apply for UX jobs.
I thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience with Careerfoundry, I chose the course as I needed a flexible part-time course to complete alongside my full-time job. The content and the structure of the course is excellent, broken down into manageable chunks to gain an in-depth knowledge of the UX process, the best part of the course is the support provided by the tutors, mentors and the course advisors. The course also provides support at every step of the job application process, I felt fully confident and ready when I started applying f...
