Live mentored learning - with time to absorb it and a stackable career path.
Experience Haus runs a well-regarded one-week, in-person UX intensive in Shoreditch with a small class. It is a good fit if you can take a week off and want to be in the room. UX Academy is the alternative for people who want live, weekly tutor-led sessions across 8 weeks - so the learning lands through real iteration and feedback - and a stackable path to real work experience.

What you get with us.
Live mentored learning, with time to absorb it
Experience Haus runs a solid one-week intensive - useful if you can take a full week off. UX Academy spreads live, weekly tutor-led sessions across 8 weeks so concepts have time to land through iteration and real feedback. You cannot replicate that depth in 5 days.
Keep your job, skip the commute
Our classes are live online on Wednesday evenings (6:00 to 8:30pm UK), so you do not need to take a week off work or travel to Shoreditch. You learn in real time from wherever you are.
A stackable path to real work experience
The 8-week foundation (GBP 1,500) is a complete course on its own. But you can stack the 12-week UX Career Track (a further GBP 1,500) to reach a full ~20-week programme - including real work experience embedded at a start-up. That career-track option is not available on a one-week course.
Before you decide.
What is the difference between UX Academy and Experience Haus?
Experience Haus runs a one-week, in-person, full-time intensive in Shoreditch with a small class capped at 8. UX Academy runs an 8-week, live online, part-time course on Wednesday evenings - with weekly tutor feedback and a stackable path to real work experience via the 12-week Career Track. If you want an in-person week-long sprint, Experience Haus is a good fit. If you want live mentored learning with time to absorb it, and a career path that goes further, choose UX Academy.
Which is cheaper?
They are close on the foundation. Experience Haus is GBP 1,350 paid in full (GBP 1,500 in instalments) for a one-week course. UX Academy is GBP 1,500 with a price-match guarantee and a GBP 99 deposit for the 8-week foundation. If you go on to the full ~20-week programme including the Career Track, the total is GBP 3,000 - but that includes real work experience at a start-up, which a one-week intensive cannot offer. We compete on depth and flexibility rather than on being the very cheapest.
Do I need to be in London for UX Academy?
No. We teach 100% live online, so you can join from anywhere in the UK or abroad. Experience Haus is in-person in Shoreditch.
Is UX Academy full-time?
No. It is part-time: one live evening session a week plus a few hours of project work, designed for people in full-time jobs.
