UX Design Institute

Overall it was a really good experience, it was exactly what I needed at that time in my career and after 4 months from starting the course, I got a cool new job as Senior UX Consultant in a big company. I can say it was one of my best choices lately... Read More and for me, it was very helpful, insightful, and a self-confidence boost. The curriculum is very well and clearly structured, covering almost all major aspects of the entire UXD process, giving you a very high-level overview but also explaining many details. The videos are chunked enough to be digestible and on spot, with good examples from real-life projects and problems. The narrator (Institute's CEO) has very good explanation skills, with no Irish accent at all, so no problem in understanding all the words. :) The project I worked on was very useful also, involved enough hard work, exiting from my comfort zone, but I am extremely happy with the outcome and I can't wait to share it in my portfolio! The Slack community is also very helpful, I gained a lot of insights, feedback, and resources from it, and also the mentors were very helpful and responsive. The rhythm was also self-paced within a maximum of 1 year, so I finished the lessons and the final project in 7 months. Then, in 1 month I passed also the final exam which was a very serious and rigorous one, so I am very happy with it. The price-value balance is definitely a great one! Good job and I highly recommend this course.

I would recommend this course to anyone interested in a career in UX. Most courses that enable you to change direction in your career or significantly progress require vast amounts of time and money. This course offers a rare, affordable way to progress!... Read More All the important topics were covered, the videos were clear and easy to understand, and I feel that I now have a very good understanding of UX, related processes, etc. I found this a great way to learn in my own time, on my own terms, with enough support that I never felt stuck. Thank you very much to the UXDI team.

Pros - This is course is extremely thorough; it is not a "short" course or an "introduction to" UX design. - The tutors are academically sound - they were very well versed in all aspects of the industry and offered some real insight. They were readily... Read More available and willing to discuss any queries in-depth, if necessary. - The videos and coursework was professional and all content was produced to a very high standard. - Colman (the founder and main presenter) was a great teacher and was professional, captivating and compelling. His lessons broke down highly detailed UX ideas into "bite-sized", easy to grasp segments - without patronising or over-simplifying. A perfect introduction to a barrage of new ideas and theories for a fresh, unlearned but eager, budding UX designer. Cons - Not so much theory on the UI design front. This is mainly left to the student to explore in their own time, even though UI is explained as an important sub-category of the User Experience Design umbrella. - More post-graduation alumni programming would help, as would a stronger presence of career guidance, post-graduation. - More guidance on the exam would help, too. The questions were surprisingly broad, but we had simply been told "everything in the exam will have been mentioned in the course"... this was not false, but it did lead to a narrower vision of what we may expect for the exam. Perhaps explain that although all aspects of the exam will have been taught on the course, we may need to expect these ideas to be presented in much broader scenarios in the exam.

Loved learning new skills with this course, videos are great and very clear easy to follow and understand even for those like me that knew nothing about UX Design. Mentors/team's support was amazing! The webinars were also a great help for doing the projects... Read More requested throughout the course. Loved the fact that I could do it at my own pace and still have all the support needed.

It was a pretty worthy experience with tons of new skills gained in order for me to use them in my new role as a junior UX designer. Also to comment the teaching staff that support me all the way along from the beginning of the course they could not be... Read More more professional and supportive.

I am a business analyst that works in IT, I wanted to skill up in UX design to be able to support future projects and also just demonstrate that corporate business systems can be nice to use too.... I am also just really interested in the area in general!... Read More I feel this course is great for anyone in the industry already or not. The videos are easy to follow and available via self-service along with guided docs to support note taking. The project work is on app types you will have experience of already so it's easy to pick up. Live webinars run by industry experts were great! They review project work and it really helps. What made this course great for me was the student support. I suffered with low morale and motivation due to Covid and fell behind and with support from the tutors I picked it back up, completed my project work and exam and passed! There is a IM channel where you can connect with students and tutors as well as past students which is super useful. I feel like I've personally learnt a lot and can easily transfer the skills to my current workplace. Can't fault it unfortunately!

The ability to work at your own pace was amazing. They give you a ton of help and resources to get you a job. It wasnt just about UX design it was how to get a job in UX. Their career coaches and mock interviews, and resume help was a huge game changer.... Read More Be aware that the timeline to finish earlier than 9months may be a little off. Some of the projects at the end of the course take longer than I anticipated and pushed my graduation/completion back 1month. So plan extra time at the end for that.

Great classes that I would recommend ! The UX Design Team is really supportive, they reply quickly to any of your questions and help you to get the answers you need. The course materials provide full of additional readings with links, they also give book'... Read More suggestion related to UX Design which help you to deepen any subject you may need.

I don't regret at all taking the class where I learnt so much ! Give it a try !

This course provides a valuable insight into the day to day task that is required of a UX designer. It takes you through the design process giving you tools and processes needed to be a great UX designer.

The biggest pro of the course is the hands on... Read More experience you have working through a case study that you are then able to show at the end of the course in your portfolio.

It would have been great to have done more than one case study but I feel like the course has given me the fundamentals to kick start a career in UX.

When I started this course, I had no clue that UX even existed. Yes, of course, things need to be well designed in order for them to work properly - but I have never thought about the process of achieving these well performing designs. Through following... Read More and completing the Professional Diploma in UX Design, I have gained the knowledge to successfully create the foundation for great design. I now know that there are many steps involved and that taking the necessary steps, starting with research, one can eliminate many potential future problems. Thank you to the UX Design Institute for this fantastic course. I am looking forward to my new future career.
