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.
Patrick
Designer, Microsoft
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.
Sam
Product Designer (UX/UI), Bluepass
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.
Vitor
UX Strategist, Independent consultant
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.
Vita
UX Designer, Airbnb
Coming from a customer service background, I never thought UX was something I could do. UX Academy showed me that understanding people was already my strength -- the course gave me the tools and portfolio to make it a career.
Chrysanthi
UX Writer
Working in customer support gave me insight into user pain points, but I didn't know how to translate that into UX. This course showed me how to structure research and turn insights into action.
Daisy
UX Designer
I already understood how products are built, but not always why decisions were made. The course gave me a stronger foundation in design thinking and helped me connect technical skills with user experience.
Rory
UX Researcher and Designer
Transitioning from marketing into UX felt natural once I started the course. It helped me reframe my existing skills and gave me practical experience to confidently move into a design role.
Chiara
UX Researcher and Designer
My background in psychology gave me an interest in human behaviour, but I needed practical tools. The course provided structure, methods, and real-world application to turn that interest into a career.
Cynthia
Junior UX Researcher
I was used to working with data and requirements, but UX brought a more human perspective. The course helped me balance analytical thinking with creativity and build a portfolio that reflects both.
Lesego
User Experience Design Lead
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
Senior UX Designer, IBM
I am excited to have learned the different processes that go into UX and the thought behind the planning stages.
Gaby
Content Designer
With some initial UX experience, I was looking to deepen my skills and gain more confidence. The course pushed me to think more strategically and refine my process. Working on an end-to-end project made a big difference in how I approach design challenges.
Claire
Head of UX
