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 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.

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! 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.
