Become a UX/UI Designer With CareerFoundry
Maybe you’ve heard of friends or family becoming one, or seen job ads for companies looking for them, and now you’re wondering how to become a UX or UI designer. If so, it’s safe to say that you’ve come to the right place.
It can be tough to know where to start with these things. Is diving right in and taking a UX bootcamp the right idea? Or should you just try to pick up as many skills from online research and free tutorial videos first? Do you need to get some sort of official accreditation to get employed as a UI designer, or can you just start applying for jobs? There’s a lot to think about, but fear not. We’ll help you navigate your career change.
If you’re still not sure whether you’re better suited to a career in UX or UI, it’s worth spending some time learning about how they differ and where they overlap, starting with this beginner’s guide to the difference between UX and UI design.
With so many options out there, if you’re looking at becoming a UX or UI designer, why not become a great one? You’ll need more than just tutorial videos, more than just a regular production-line bootcamp. You’ll need a setup with a dedicated online learning platform, with not just a community of fellow learners, but also a professional support network.
Together, all of this will not only make sure that you are learning UX and UI design in the best possible way, but more importantly, how to become a UX or UI designer itself.
And that’s the difference you’ll find through studying with CareerFoundry. You are not just learning the skills and tools that you’ll need, but also the processes to make you comfortable in the job. You’ll emerge from the course with a fully-formed design portfolio with which to impress potential employers, assistance from our dedicated career specialists and you’ll know what to expect out there.
We don’t mean just how to become a UX designer or a UI designer these days, but also what to expect in the job market such as the average UX designer salaries to be aiming for. CareerFoundry’s job support isn’t just to get you into your first UX or UI role, but for future job searches as well.
