Student Testimonials

The 6 month UX/UI certification program gave me the skill set, credibility, and confidence needed to be promoted from a Graphic Designer to a UI/Visual Designer at my current company.

I recently completed a digital training at Workforce institute and I must say it was an amazing experience. The training was well structured and I learned a lot about the different aspects of digital marketing and how the digital marketing systems work. The instructors and mentors were very knowledgeable and insightful but our instructor, Randa Tadros, stood out. She was always patient and took the time to analyze our assignments providing constructive feedback and guidance on how to improve. Her attention to details and dedication to our learning was inspiring. Overall, I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a student at Workforce Institute and I highly recommend their digital marketing training.

Maritsa was such a pleasure to work with, she was very kind and nurturing and gave me wonderful career advice. After the program finished, Maritsa helped me with my resume, cover letter, and Linkedln profile which helped me land my first interview. She helped set me up with a mentorship program and I was lucky enough to be accepted thanks to her. Because of her efforts, I also gained two new mentors who went above and beyond to help me transition from the program to the real world. I am very grateful for her and everything she has helped me with.

The past six months, I have learned many new things in UX designing. The one thing that has been challenging for me, is the designing part. Not being a graphical designer, I faced many challenges in creating designs. When I enquired about the program, I was told that I did not need to have knowledge about designing. But I feel that having some graphic designing skills definitely helps do this course better. When I did ask for help, the instructors were very helpful. I would like to mention one person who has really helped me along the way, that is Maritsa Andre, one of the program coordinators and a career coach. She has been very encouraging through this journey. Thankyou Workforce institute.

I recently completed the 18-week Digital Marketing Bootcamp through the WorkForce Institute. The program was designed for busy professionals like myself, with all sessions completed over Zoom, and a reasonable amount of out-of-class work. I had absolutely no marketing background, but I wanted to learn so I could pivot my career into the marketing world. The program was accessible for newbies like me, and the instruction was tailored to meet each student's needs and prior knowledge. The instructor was kind, generous, and knowledgeable, and her feedback was spot on. I now feel empowered to take the next step, and am already putting the tools I learned to good use.

I had a great 18 weeks working with Workforce on my Digital Marketing certification! From the very beginning, Duain the Program Coordinator was responsive and informative! My teacher was Ana and it was always a joy to have our Wednesday night get togethers. She's an expert in her field and I am better for knowing her! Maritsa is working with me on my future in Digital Marketing and she is also a wealth of knowledge. It is wonderful to have enhanced my knowledge of Digital Marketing with the materials and team at Workforce! I am excited to use this knowledge in my radio career, Real Estate career and beyond!

As a professional looking for a career transition, this Digital Marketing Bootcamp exceeded my expectations. The content provided necessary information for the foundations of marketing, including insight into the many career facets that one can further pursue. We applied that knowledge by completing relevant assignments, in which constructive feedback was provided by an experienced and professional instructor. The entire staff has been helpful throughout, and I do appreciate their commitment to continue to mentor students during our career journey upon completion of the course. Five stars and highly recommended.

I Joined Hofstra Ux/Ui program with very little knowledge but I was very interested in the topic. The curriculum was very well structured and a lot of learning materials. The mentor sessions were the most beneficial and productive part. My mentor had all the availability and dedication to answer all my questions. I am now in the process of finding a job in the field of UI in which a career coach is assisting me, now I feel much more confident in my abilities and I am excited to continue on this career path.

I have built the confidence, skill set and professional development necessary to seek out roles in the UX field.

This course helped me understand User Experience Design and the importance of putting the user first. Also, I was able to integrate my graphic design background into my Design Thinking and UI prototyping, learning new software such as Figma, Balsamiq, and Marvel. The instructor was always well prepared and made each zoom class very interesting. Plus, the mentoring classes were where instructors explained industry insights, experiences, and best practices. I am confident that the two case studies I completed with this course will help me look for an entry job in UX.

WorkForce's educational material and modules provide indispensable and comprehensive insights on the UX and UI design process. When applying discipline to the WorkForce learning process, one can expect to successfully learn the tools, methods and applications required to be a skilled and marketable UX/UI designer. My cohort's instructor, Nolan Peet, displayed profound knowledge of the UX/UI design process, effortlessly answering questions I or my class had at a moment's notice. Nolan regularly provided helpful feedback and displayed a consistently positive attitude while teaching my cohort. He's a clear and concise communicator with a good sense of humor. The WorkForce bootcamp is convenient for those with busy schedules and is overall a good value. I recommend this bootcamp for those who are committed to learning the UX and UI design process and/or want to become UX and UI design professionals.​

I was looking for a great program to learn UX/UI design. So one night, I found an ad for this bootcamp on a website, deciding to check it out. Within the next few weeks, I decided to start my journey and learn something new. Though at times it was intense, I felt like this was the right program for me since it was flexible and self-paced. I enjoyed the links and articles on the online assignments. They were up-to-date and very relevant on the topics we were learning. Additionally, weekly meetings with our instructor Brian were fun and informative. It was nice to get insight from someone who currently works in the field. I would highly recommend this program if you want to take a step into learning UX/UI design while balancing life. ​

Wow, what an experience. There was great communication throughout each part of my journey, and that was instrumental to my success. The program is taught by a professional working in the UX/UI field, so that means you’re getting a highly practical learning experience. And the support following the course? That exceeded my expectations. They are dedicated to making sure you represent yourself and your skill-set well via LinkedIn and your CV/resume. All in all, a solid program. ​

The UI/UX program really stood out to me on day one. Very well organized and put together. I enjoyed the weekly zoom lectures and was able to get my questions answered promptly. The information was engaging and definitely has helped shaped me as a designer. I recommend this program! ​

This UX/UI University Bootcamp program was honestly a great experience. I felt that I was able to expand my horizons as an artist and learn how to create applications. Everyone was extremely kind and I loved being able to work with peers who were in this journey with me, and receive feedback that made me a stronger designer.​

This was by far the most interactive course I have ever taken. I loved the modules, great supervision (Mike helped me a lot) and the meetings with my professor and classmates tied it all together. It was a privilege to be part of it. Great course content and practical skills make you very compatible on the market. They work with You on all stages of your study process and even after that. Definitely will recommend this to all my colleagues and friends for any educational upgrade.

Taking the UI/UX Bootcamp with University Bootcamps was a great experience. I come from a medical background and was originally in the medical field when I decided to switch career paths. I did a bunch of research and came upon their bootcamp. They taught me everything I needed to know about the UI/UX industry from the beginning, and it was a great intro to a different career. I have just completed the classes and have done my project, and now they are helping me with resume building and interview skills. I'm sure that with their guidance I will be able to get a great UI/UX design job soon.​
