Bluepass

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.

Vitor

Vitor

Product Manager->UX Strategist

Independent consultant

Before joining the Intermediate 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.

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.

What students say about the experience

In the classroom.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
