What graduates say

Designers who came in mid-career.

With 3 years of UX design experience, the course was a great way of consolidating knowledge and putting theory into practice. Much more industry-oriented than university — we worked on a project from start to finish, building every part to create a strong portfolio piece.

Sabrina Morellato

UX/UI Designer → Senior UX Designer

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 Morand Salvo

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.
