UX Design Institute

This is a good, well designed course covering all the basics of User Experience design. I cannot praise the staff enough, they are very responsive and engaged. You can see that the support team are always looking for ways to improve their support to us.... Read More I love their use of Slack and that the alumni keep in touch on this platform. I liked that I could work a full time job and do the online course at my own pace. I would have liked more interaction with staff and other students but I can see how that is difficult given that we all start at different times. I know they run introduction live online seminars but it would have good if that could be a bit more treating us as a group and involved more interaction. I had already completed an internship with a government office but failed to make it into junior positions. I went back to my old profession of Graphic Designer while I studied. This course came highly recommended by other civil servants alumni and I found that it help me fill in the gaps in my knowledge and in October 2022 I start my new position as a Junior Interaction Designer with another government department.

I'm currently a UX lead. I'd already been doing UI/UX professionally for 10+ years. My previous qualifications are in Graphic Design and I learned web design on the job over a decade ago. I took the course to get a formal qualification in this space and... Read More fill in the knowledge gaps. This course gives a really good overview of how to design responsive websites and applications. I particularly loved the pieces on grid setup and Gestalt principles. Even if you're a dab hand at design, it's handy to get a bit of a refresher on what you already know and to expand your knowledge on what you don't. I'd definitely recommend this course to both beginners and pros alike.

The UX design curriculum is practical and easy to follow. The schedule is also flexible as students are allowed to complete the program within a year. I love the quick and helpful support from the UXDI team. The webinars are very useful and inspiring.... Read More

This course was extremely enjoyable. It starts with the basics and moves quickly. It broke down larger lessons into digestible chunks making it very easy to complete on the side when working full-time. Although some of the projects were quite time consuming,... Read More I followed the unstructured path which enabled me to complete it within 12 months at a leisurely pace. So if something required a bit of time I could afford to take a few weeks off. Saying this, I learned a lot from every single project. The course also enabled me to implement the processes into my own UX work in my job. Helping me to understand the problem first and enabling me to challenge decisions that didnt meet user goals or business outcomes which often derailed the UX process. The course layout also makes it easy to go back and review previous modules - i did this a lot particularly when the module involved processes I wanted to introduce to the organisation, having the case study examples is really helpful too for this purpose. Id highly recommend this course to anyone interested in UX. Particularly if you are in an organisation with an engineering culture and find it difficult to articulate design thinking and things like research and validation - this course helps with that too. It is also very suitable for anyone with no prior experience in design or UX. The course teaches you the basics of Figma which is currently one of the most powerful tools for UX designers and is free to use. There is also amazing on-demand support in the slack channel you are added to. You can connect with other students and share projects prior to submitting for feedback. There is also a lot of job support, advice on portfolio submission and webinars on what hiring managers look for and interview prep. Regardless of experience this course will be sure to teach you something you didn't know or think of before!

The content is relevant, in-depth and very thorough. Excellent, prompt tutor support and if you run into any issues, they are there to help with anything and provide a good user experience for students. The Slack channel is great for seeing examples of... Read More other students work to guide you and the tutors respond quickly on there too. The careers support is also really good. I am glad I chose this UX course out of the ones on offer, as I feel I have a solid and thorough foundation in UX and the UX process now and would be prepared to enter a junior role.

The advantage on attending this course, this can be done in the comfort of your own home whilst you have other commitments such as work. Course is purely done online so you do not need to attend college or University, there are webinar's students can... Read More register and attend online. Also see other students work and join Slack Channel all students will show their portfolios and projects which provides inspiration on your own projects.

I've looked into a number of courses over the years to essentially fill in some gaps and prove my worth as a UX Designer. This course by the UX Design Institute gave just the right balance of knowledge and practical application, whilst also not being... Read More too demanding on my time as a working designer. Even as a seasoned web designer, I learnt a lot and I think it's a good course for people wanting to step into the field although some aspects may be a little challenging if you are a complete beginner. Whilst you won't get a personal mentor, the student success team are very response and willing to give advice when you have questions. As a University Accredited course, I think it's good value for money too. Highly recommended!

The course has given me the tools I needed to fill a skills gap in my company. Not only that it has helped me grow in confidence in my role and in communicating my design decisions with colleagues, developers, and stakeholders. The course is up to date... Read More and relevant to the real world of UX and gives you everything you need to jumpstart a career in UX. It's enjoyable, manageable, and interesting too. I highly recommend this course to anyone considering a career in UX, it's incredibly valuable!
