BY SIMPLY CHOOSING CAREER FOUNDRY!
I would definitely recommend Career Foundry to every Graphic Designer who wants, needs and likes to change the career to UI/UX Design.
I would also recommend Career Foundry to those who never ever studied design because the course provides all aspect of design from the basics of typography, colours to advance UI/UX knowledge with functional and practical learning by doing.
You have to be enough determined to complete the course in the time frame provided, although there are 2 extra months of free extension, which give you additional time in case of unexpected situations, necessary breaks or intense work.
I met with professional and great individual support, which none of my college or course providers gave me in the past. I would strongly highlight that Career Foundry is the best course I have ever done it.
I was motivated by everything that they offer, from the design of the platform itself to the excellent content, well-explained tasks with previous, fresh, the latest sample of students finished tasks, which helped me to even deeper understand what has to be done, be inspired. I was amazed at evolution of each main projects, which all together built my outstanding portfolio as UI/UX Designer.
I must admit that I had a very helpful and supportive, friendly staff including my personal Career Advisor before I even start the course. The most engaging and inspiring UI/UX Tutor and UI/UX Mentor. On top of that, I had a Career Specialist to help me in my job search and completing the Job Preparation Course. Student Advisors were always ready to answer my additional questions.
None of any course gave me as much individual contact with teachers, tutors in the past.
Surprising but The Course is done remotely but I felt that I had more human connection than in typical college, where quite often you are not even treated with professionalisms or respect because traditional private or public schools or colleges quite often have very old approach of treating students even grown-up adults as secondary even students are the real clients of every educational organisation.
I finished my UI course with a brilliant portfolio with much more pieces of my own projects than recently done Digital Marketing at traditional evening college in Dublin Business School or even Bachelor Honours Degree did at University. If I will have a choice a long time ago, I would sign up for a professional-oriented course with practical learning with Career Foundry instead of typical higher education, which gave me mostly knowledge without actual tangible effects.
I am more prepared for UI/UX Design in 6 month time than into graphic design years ago. Job Preparation course with 6 months guarantee of full refund is additional proof that they are the best on the market and they know that.
None ever courses gave me a guarantee of the job in the specific time frame and if not, I will get a refund back. None of the courses gave me an individual Career Specialist with excellent Job Preparation course. I must say this course is worth much more than the actual price. Every education organisation should take a sample from Career Foundry from the website itself, organisation of the course, supportive staff, provided content and final tangible projects.
I had a pleasure recently to the meet John O'Toole, Managing Director at Communications & Management Institute in Dublin.
Connect with John O'Toole by https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-o-toole-7b56b829/
Please visit CMI https://www.cmi-ireland.com/
In our collaborative and open talk, I highly suggested as I was asked by John, to have a look at Career Foundry to overcome own education platform's obstacles with for example Moodle platform, which I was recently exposed to it at Dublin Business School as Digital Marketing Student in 2019 at the same time studying UI/UX Design at Career Foundry, I had a great comparison, what can serve us Students/Users a what not.
To compare website of those 3 education providers, 2 traditional based in Dublin, Ireland and one, modern fully remote education platform, please have a look also at DBS website
https://www.dbs.ie/ and decide yourself which would serve you better even just in terms of website itself. Come on, we have XXI century. Websites should be User-Centred-Designed.
As Class Representative at DBS, I strongly gave my honest feedback, as Student and User, that DBS Moodle platform is not a user-friendly.
Unfortunately there were no changes implemented.
Moodle causes more issues than bring actual value to students and it is not correctly link with main DBS website, what brings confusion and irritation over a 6 months period time with lots of Students' complains.
This is main difference between Career Foundry and any outdated traditional college.
They do not listen Students.
They forget that WE ARE CLIENTS.
Which sadly true even if they teach about WORTH OF MOUTH AS ONE OF THE BEST ADVERTISING TECHNIQUE IN CONSTANTLY GROWING SOCIAL PROOF ON SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS...I want add word starting with ..."R" continue with "I"...following by "D" and "I".
You have a "CLUE". Don't you?
All Right Let Come Back To Career Foundry. As I am here for them not for DBS. About DBS in another post. Soon Soon.
I must say that I am very happy that I came across Career Foundry and while researching where to invest my time, money and energy, I rejected many UI/UX courses provided even by higher education in Ireland.
I am grateful to everyone who brought Career Foundry to live, to everyone who is part of it, by creating content, videos, making the website smooth and user-friendly. I am very grateful to all staff, who was

YOU GET THE VIBE HOW YOU WOULD FEEL AS CAREER FOUNDRY UI/UX DESIGN STUDENT!
Career Foundry Please
DO NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH YOURSELF TOO MUCH! 😉
Perfection does not exist.
IT IS ALL ABOUT GROWTH AND CONSTANT EXPANSION.
If you will be "perfect" there will be no competitors. But I think, your competitors makes you even better. Blue Ocean Strategy is definitely applied in your business.
Below you will find out, where to grow to become even better in what you already do so well.
There is always a room for improvement. 😎
which Career Foundry appreciate and collects after each task and make actual real-life changes. The below feedback was shared with them while doing the course and what was taken under consideration with a big thank you to me by always providing the straight forward feedback.
CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK:
definitely missing video tutorials especially to more advance or specific tasks
a lot of reading content, which could be provided as well as video content - more engaging visually and learning by listening also than just by reading
the task, which involved making basic animations could be provided better - additional steps, more links, samples etc.
overall, the animation could be taken deeper or evaluate as a separate course
each project should evaluate with the same criteria from UX to UI, what could bring full cases studies and showcases to each design
no phone calls with UI/UX Tutor, just contact by chat - feedbacks by email on the platform
overall UI/UX Mentor's feedback is quite general because Tutor takes more charge of your progress
no spelling autocorrection in the chat-box or ability to delete the message
no phone calls to Student Advisors however no needed as there was no emergency to call them
estimated time for specific tasks quite often miss calculated
generally to complete UI course on time in 6 months timeframe, can be quiet intensive - personally I recommend to really dive deep into the subject to think about a career break or to schedule nothing else than just work, basic life relaxing balance (no specific time-consuming competitions in sports or long holidays, honeymoons, weddings, different courses) to really focus on completing on time and really enjoy it, not to struggle if there is too much to do in 6 months time - your dedication is necessary and you have to skip distractions in nowadays multitasking world
less is more as the famous design principles - this applies to your life while doing UI/UX Design course to boost your career dream and new life as Designer
I wishing you great success in your UI/UX Designer Journey, Good luck!
