I recently completed the foundations course and will hopefully be in UX Academy soon. I really enjoyed this course and felt it was paced well for the part-time track. I have a full time job so I wasn't able to do full-time and it was the right amount... Read More

"Please do not waste your money."
I do not recommend Designlab. I ignored the comments that warned me about it but after wasting my money, I realized that it was a complete waste of money. Yes, you will learn some stuff. But most of the stuff you can learn for free...If you need a mentor... Read More

"Helpful and Practical"
Before Designlab, I took a lot of free online courses, but none of them gave me practical teaching on how to use software and actually design. I appreciated that in conjunction with all the informational lessons, there were many projects that allowed... Read More

For a foundations course, there's not any cons that I could think of when it comes to the overall course. The dashboard was very user friendly, which allowed me to easily follow along what lessons were next and when my next mentor meeting was. The course... Read More
