    UX course

    I’m just about to complete the UX course at CareerFoundry and have been loving it so far! The course makes student do practical exercises as part of a large project that students can then present in their portfolios to show future employers. The support you get from students, mentors, and tutors from around the world is extremely motivating and valuable. I’d highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get into design!

    Lucky to find

    I just finished my UX course and have a few things to say:
    Overall the course is comprehensive and interesting. The course is written in an interesting and easy to understand way. And the examples help tremendously with the assignments. 
    My only critique would be that there is a big difference between your tutor and mentor. My mentor (at the end of each module) always made me make big adjustments whilst my tutor almost always just said “GREAT” and approved the assignment. This beca...

    UX Design Program

    An intensive course with lots of helpful information provided. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting an introduction to UX Design, although I'd allow more than the estimated/recommended times for most modules, especially if english is not your native language. It is a concept heavy course and you will need to learn a lot of new software if you've never done design or digital presentation before.

    UX design course with CareerFoundry - A truly great course

    I almost finished the UX design course with CareerFoundry and have to say there is little to complain about. The course is very well structured, the tasks are challenging but well crafted and the contact with my tutor and mentor is truly awesome. No matter which background you have or knowledge about design, everyone who is interested in a career change towards UX design should take a look at this course.
    The slack community is another great addition to the course. There are many acti...

    Awesome

    I started the course mid2019 with almost no knowledge about web development, I had some basics in html and css, knew how to use git a bit but not much else. Now, I can code in vanillaJS, can use react and react native, did some angular, vuejs, advanced css and built a pretty good portfolio in the process. Definitely worth it!

    I was hired within a month of completely the UI design course. Here's a referral link to get a discount on course fees: https://careerfoundry.com/en/referral_registrations/new?referral=dEYOAbrz

    I studied the UI design course online whilst looking after my son. It was a challenge to make it work, but whats great about the course (and CareerFoundry) are the resources that come with signing up to this, or any of their courses, which allow you to get through the material and absorb the content fast. You get access to a tutor to get real-world examples of working in the industry, as well as direct answers to questions related to design and the course content. The tutors are very res...

    The course is very well outlined and covers topics in depth. Exercises help us understand the practical implementation of the topics and tutors and mentors are always encouraging and go extra miles to help and give additional resources along with rectifying the gaps in understanding. Will definitely recommend.

    Intro to UI Design

    I'm near the end of the mini course Intro to UI Design. So far I'm enjoying it and looking forward to starting the UI Immersion portion! I rather enjoy this type of course where I'm working at my pace with a deadline versus a boot camp. I have tried the boot camp elsewhere and while it is a good experience for some but it was quite overwhelming for me. If you're new to UI/UX, this is a great way to go. I had difficulty learning on my own before, but this program is giving me confidence a...
