Nothing but positive things to say about Designlab's Foundations course! I started four weeks ago with 0 experience in design, feeling unsure about whether or not I had what it took to become a designer. Fast-forward to today and having just finished the course, I can say that I have so much more confidence in my design abilities and have learned valuable skills that I feel will help me on my career journey to becoming a UX designer. The staff at Designlab has clearly put a lot of time and effort into creating a curriculum that helps even a design newbie like me confidently learn and build skills. If you're concerned about whether you can do this course part-time, don't be: the course is structured so that you can choose to finish on a full-time or part-time track. One of the best part's of the course, in addition to the Slack community of fellow students, is having one-on-one time with a mentor. Designlab clearly puts a lot of thought into who they choose for their mentorship program and I feel that this was a major key to my success in the course. The mentor assigned to me for the duration of the course has over ten year of experience in UX/UI design and I learned so much through working with him throughout the course. Being able to ask questions, hear about industry trends and real-life design projects and experiences was invaluable to me. If you're on the fence about taking a course, I highly encourage you to sign up for an informative webinar and/or chat with someone from Designlab! In addition to having a friend who graduated the course prior to me, speaking with Designlab staff and getting my questions answered during the webinar is what helped me make the decision to invest my time and money in the course and I'm so glad I did!! I now feel confident and excited to continue on this path and I plan on continuing to the full UX Academy. |
