The course has been absolutely fantastic. The teachers have been brilliant and very attentive. Definitely recommend for obtaining real life experience and developing a grounding in UX.

Before joining the Advanced course, my user research toolkit was limited. Drafting explicit hypotheses, structuring effective ideation exercises, and synthesising findings are my key takeaways. Access to teachers who are also practitioners gave me the confidence anyone investing in a product design career needs.

Moving from marketing design to UX felt like a huge leap, until I realised how much I already understood about what people need. The course gave me the language and the portfolio to prove it.

Common questions

Ask us anything.

I'm not sure I'm creative enough for UX design.

Most of our graduates said exactly this before starting. UX is less about visual creativity and more about curiosity and empathy: understanding why people struggle with things, then figuring out how to fix it. If you've ever rewritten a confusing email, reorganised a messy drawer, or explained something complicated simply, you're already thinking like a UX designer.

Natalia Veretenyk, Lead Instructor

Is this a free UX design course, or just a taster session?

It's a genuine free UX design course session, not a sales pitch dressed up as one. In 1 hr 20 min you'll get a real introduction to UX and UI design, work through the difference between the two, and leave with an honest view on whether it's worth pursuing further: the same starting point as a self-paced free course, but taught in one sitting by a working instructor rather than spread across modules you work through alone.
