    CareerFoundry UX designer course

    I am halfway into the UX course and loving the experience so far. The course itself is very fast paced and condensed in useful information, but at the same time well explained, specially for a person who is new in this field. The structure with help from the tutor and mentor is amazing, they are always willing to help, their feedback on each of my exercises submitted have always been timely, and encouragingl. I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far.

    UI Immersion

    The whole experience was great, I picked up so many skills, was kept motivated throughout, learnt from my mentors and tutor and was able to go at my own pace. I've grown so much and am so thankful to CareerFoundry for this. UI Immersion, learnt UI in depth, alongside UX research methods and front-end specialization which really helped me stand out to employers with my own coded portfolio website. After about a year later starting the course I have accepted a job offer for Junior UI Desig...

    UX Design Bootcamp Chicago

    My background is in theater and teaching and because of the pandemic I began exploring other avenues of work. Friends working in the tech industry suggested I look into UX Design and after reading "The Design of Everyday Things" I was hooked. It took a little time to choose (there are a lot of online bootcamps) but Career Foundry had amazing reviews as well as a job guarantee which really sold me on it. 

    I've loved the freedom to remote online learning. If you have the time and pa...

    If you want to change your career and are looking for a course to take, check the CareerFoundry courses. A mentor and tutor motivate you to complete your program, and you can ask them any questions. You can also book an online meeting to discuss your progress. I recommend CareerFoundry as a career changer.

    Real success

    Career Foundry has been unbelievable. In every way. 
    The support I received, the empathy and understanding I received from the entire team made the course achievable and enjoyable. 

    The ux design course covers everything and I am 100% certain that as a career changer moving from a completely different and unrelated field of hospitality Career Foundry has given me the tools I need to start a new life and new career. 

    Bravo.

    The course was very informative and interactive at the same time, the curriculum is comprehensive. The content of each exercise was sufficient to complete the respective tasks. And personally I learned a lot of valuable information, I like the fact that I was able to put into practice everything I learned and that it was easy to understand because the content was organized and clear. 
    I’d definitely recommend this course to other people, not only because of everything I learned but al...

    I started this course over a year ago. In that time I have had a few rough times and a happy occasion in my personal life. It started with the loss of my grandfather, I couldn’t focus on the course and was given an extension at no charge while I was grieving. Next was my wedding, I was busy planning and grieving at time same time (I was wishing my grandfather could have been there). For the next few months I struggle to remember some of the earlier material. However with the help of my m...
