Testimonials:

"I did the Love Circular course because I was looking to transition into UX/UI and this course stood out to me because it’s committed to levelling to playing field in tech. This is a value important to me. The course got me a job because I gained all the skills employers were looking for in a Junior UX/UI Designer. Love circular also helped me with the interview process."
Anisa Jahan Ali
Junior UX Designer - Yodel
"Having completed the Love Circular UX/UI course, I would totally recommend it to my peers and would love to see more initiatives like this for those who are like me. Tech is a sector with great potential however, it is a closed off sector to many people. By doing this course, it’s allowed me to have a network made up of individuals who like me are still learning, individuals who are professionals and working in the UX sector as well as in recruitment. This course also gave the me confidence to create a portfolio and be ready to apply for jobs in less than three months, all this for under £3k. Thankfully because I was working I was able to save the £3k, otherwise I would not have been able to do the course, due to there being no access to funding for such courses and probably would have struggled as a result. This course let’s me accomplish a lot in three months, a lot of which cannot be achieved via the university route, such as finishing a course and not having any debts and not having to pay any interest at any point"
