    One of the best decision I made

    I recently made a major career change and after much research, I always came back to CareerFoundry. This program has suited me well and allowed me to study while still working. The student advisors, tutor, and mentor I was assigned have been immensely helpful and influential for my studies. 
    I would highly recommend CareerFoundry to anyone looking to change their career to UI Design.

    Just what I wanted!

    CareerFoundry has exceeded my expectations. It has made learning technical skills easier than I anticipated and I enjoy the mentor aspect a lot. I do wish there were videos sometimes about the curriculum, instead of always just readings.

    Frontend Development for Designers

    As someone who has changed universities and majors multiple times trying to find the right fit I can safely say that career foundry has one of the best education systems out there.

    CareerFoundry's UX Design course

    I've just completed a 10-month part-time UX Design course with CareerFoundry and although it's been tough at times, all in all it's been a great learning experience and I'm glad I went through with it! The course itself is well-structured and quite hands-on. It's made up of smaller reading tasks which you have to directly put to practice in an exercise. I found this very engaging and it kept me learning and thinking about UX even when I wasn't working on the course material.

    Transitioning from the visual arts to UX Design

    I'm halfway through my UX Design course, and I highly recommend it. I have learned a lot so far, and I am becoming more and more comfortable with the methodology that's required in UX Design. The tutor and instructor I work with are wonderful, and I really appreciate having regular video calls with someone that has a senior role in the field. The curriculum is clear, and you learn by doing, which is the best method for me.
