Graduates who completed our courses and moved into roles at recognised brands.
I was deciding between around 12 UX courses and am so happy I went with UX Academy. The deciding factor was the length, price, and access to mentors. The course is very interactive and hands-on so you learn whilst working on a real project.
Petra
Brand Manager & Senior Graphic Designer, Adobe
The 8 weeks training course is a great introduction for a beginner looking to work in the field. Each three-hour workshop involved a trainer presenting their topics of expertise followed by team exercises to expand on what was learned.
Karen
Designer, Apple
I'm very happy taking the Beginner Course with UX Academy. I genuinely feel I have a great and solid understanding of basic UX skills I can now build upon. The teachers were amazing and gave us a great insight into the industry and career options in UX.
Csilla
Graphic Designer, Canva
Thorough research of UX course offerings led me to believe UX Academy was by far the best opportunity. Having completed the Beginner UX Design course, that belief is not only validated but even stronger. It's hard to believe I went from slightly knowledgeable to feeling confident and experienced in just eight weeks.
Matt
UX Designer, WeWork
Thanks to a small class and to our instructor who adapted the course to fit our needs and seniority level, I learned about new tools and frameworks that I am going to apply right away.
Saskia
Designer, Spotify
My learning experience at UX Academy was fantastic. It was very practical and I liked that we were also taught collaboration through the team project.
James
Product Designer, Google
UX Academy was a great upskilling experience for me. The staff and instructors are all super pros, and getting to dive right into client work was perfect for a learn-by-doing student like myself. Highly recommended.
Louiselle
UX Designer & Researcher, IMD Business School
The UX Beginner course is a great introduction to the latest UX design approaches and methods, immediately applied to a real client-based project. I feel more confident working with UX teams and communicating ideas. Great value for money.
