Please I am mass communication student , who want to switch Carrer to design, i guide

Considering the prices where Google's certificate would cost your around 500USD and the other one's costs about a whopping 9000 freaking Dollars , The Google Certificate wins by a massive margin.

[@myworldmytravels]

I am doing the google one, but it lacks mentorship and career advice. I am thinking of switching to the CF one to be honest.

[@hhdg1515]

very nice thoughts about this Bootcamp. Just attened a webinar today with CF. They do offer a $1300 discount at the point. Also My first opion was exactly the same like yours: Seriously ?! you took my cash and let me do some readings in PDF. Finally not even guarenteed a background check/ project reference support ... This is just a study bubby pushes me to do readings... lol

[@AlienaCai]

Yea at first I was seriously doubting if I still know how to read 🤣 I’ve been taking KZbin University for way too long

Iam interested in UX design so now Iam doing the Google course for UX design. Actually Iam doing it for free since company which recommend this course, encouraged us to take this course , brought us free licence to attend . I even searched for colleges which provide UX design course in my city , but the fees structure for 1 year is very high like they asked 2 lakhs in INR . I know design courses can be expensive but that Diploma course for a year and 2 Lakhs is very very expensive . I checked out career foundry and its look very promising and I really wnated to take a course in career foundry and the fees also okay in my opinion compared to that 2 L .

[@sachinmehra4543]

hey bro I also want to start my career in ui ux designing so can you help me to choose the right platform to learn ui/ux

[@indrapratomo361]

These courses can be expensive for a developing country due to the difference in monthly salary income, the average is under $300 per month

[@AlienaCai]

It is :( Google certificate may be a better choice given that there's free audit and financial aid.

[@PrisonMike-_-]

I believe cost is the primary factor between the Google cert and the CareerFoundry option

[@SheikhZedoo]

Definitely !!!! 500 vs 9000

[@saisudhakar8624]

Also time

[@andywright2861]

I found the course good, I would have preferred some more blended learning with videos, but I think by having it as text it makes the content much easier for them to update the course which they do regularly. I managed to land a job around a month after completing the job preparation course and the content around preparing your CV and for interviews was really helpful. One other thing to mention is that you can also ask for access to their other paid courses, so I asked for access to their full UI immersion course. It is read only in the sense that you can't submit your work for assessment but it is nice to have all that reading material available and the tasks should you want to pracitce.

[@BearOfZU]

Thank you so much for making this video! I've been wanting to get into UX/UI design for a while but I never really knew where to start, but thanks to this channel and this video especially I think I finally have some direction.

[@AlienaCai]

I'm so glad that I can help 👍

[@ShalliKulture]

What another country like Nigeria someone who loves you are ux design can't really study it here in our country why

[@KayGee_yt]

Is CareerFoundry or NNG or something better than google? Absolutely. Does it also cost 20x more? Absolutely. I hope to do NNG someday but for now I can't afford that type of investment in a job that's so difficult to break into. So google+ADPList is going to have to cut it for now

[@anxietydisk]

for that price I could go to real college

[@kickboxer9030]

No sorry i will stuck in google ux reading book take time we are in ai area

[@niravpatel5865]

I completed the CareerFoundry UX Design program a few months ago and I had an amazing experience there. Now I'm in the job search, which has been difficult at times but I have some opportunities waiting for me in the following days. May I also ask how a junior can land a job in the current market? As of recent, I also redesigned my resume using Google document as suggested in one of your videos, I'm hoping to see the results with my job application.

[@raghavrathore3698]

Are you based in USA

[@AlienaCai]

Congratulations on completing the program! I can't answer exactly how to land a job in the current market, but here's how I landed my job when I was a junior designer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boDban99oKZrmqc Hope this can help and wish you all the luck ☀️

@@raghavrathore3698 yes, I live on the east coast

[@niravpatel5865]

@@AlienaCai Thank you, the only real-life work I have is from a potential employer who asked to redesign a screen or two so they can determine if they would like to continue this partnership. Those projects do help in the resume, however, I don't have metrics to prove how effective my work can be. The one thing I haven't done is submit 15-20 applications a day. This is something I need to try!! Thank you once again!

[@Waleeosa]

[@momotaro0410]

Sounds like a good course for beginner like me who want to practice with a lot of assignments. But once i know the price😢i think i need to save for 2yrs before starting😅

[@irinavadan8604]

How many projects will I be able to add to my portfolio? Is it only 1? If yes, then it's kind of useless.

[@sarmeenmithani]

I have just completed 12 now how to start for this course....😊

[@MyloMusica]

Too much theory I guess.nowadays we need more hands on.

[@Elena-ng8ur]

Hey Aliena, just got to know your channel today, loving so many of your useful vids.. thank you so much! I have a question.. would you recommend "career foundry" or the "springboard" (FYI im not based in USA but want to get a job in USA as an UXUI designer.

[@ElizabethTan-v4z]

Hello! Thanks for the great review :) would you be planning to review the CareerFoundry UI program as well? I’m thinking of joining that program but there hasn’t been much reviews about it :( primarily i’m wondering how rigorous is the course able to train a ‘design eye’ for those without a design background at all. Would definitely love to hear your thoughts on that if you ever do such a review!

[@sylvanuschisom]

Does a Google Certification holder need to take this program.

[@BTrys13]

Hey good review video! I have a question... The job gaurentee is only provided for USA based students or any student in the world?

[@AlienaCai]

My understanding is it's for any student. I'm going to double check for you 🙌

[@BTrys13]

@@AlienaCai Thank you! Very much!

[@MonBooker]

@@AlienaCai it’s for most developed countries and you only qualify if you do the career course.

[@climbersisyphus]

@@AlienaCai any follow up on this information? Would they help job guarantee in a foreign country for eg. Europe?

[@andywright2861]

There are certain requirements you need to meet, which include applying to a cetain number of jobs per week with tailored applications and evidence. Living in an area with a high enough population density, and if not willing to relocate.

[@sarmeenmithani]
