UX Design Institute

This was an excellent course, I knew absolutely nothing about the subject to begin with, but an old college friend was changing career and he had applied. And I heard that UX is a growth area right now, with great pay and the ability to work independently; this is important to me. 

The team at the UX Design Institute were everything that good User Experience is about. They were helpful, but firm in keeping students on track. They were polite and respectful, and also empathic. My elderly father died towards the end of the course, and the Institute was extremely empathic and supportive. I completed the course with a small extension, so I felt supported, looked after, and empowered to finish the course. 

I’m really thrilled to finally be a certified UX Professional. It was a steep learning curve at times, there was a lot of project work where I wasn’t sure what the projects could contribute to designing interfaces, as I knew nothing about UX before I took the course. In the end, it became clear what all the research was for. I’d say to prospective students, keep steaming through the process of projects; it will all make sense in the end. 

I successfully completed the Professional Diploma in UX Design. All course materials are of an exceptionally high standard, well designed, and easy to understand, this has got to be one of the best UX design online courses on the market, taking you through the entire UX process, lots of webinars, and online material produced by the experts in the field. The structured programme is flexible, and you can work at your own pace, it can be completed in 6-12months. This course far surpassed all my expectations, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. And the team is friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is serious about a career in UX design and research. Dr. Nisar Ahmed PhD

UX Design Institute is excellent for studying user experience design. I recently completed the Professional Diploma in UX Design, and it was a fantastic experience. I can only recommend the program, the content, and the way it is structured and conveyed. Plenty of resources offered by the UX Design Institute help you get an interdisciplinary approach to UX Design and learn the essential UX tools and techniques necessary for practicing UX professionally. The course content and the way it is taught are amazing. All aspects of the job of UX designers are covered and treated from a variety of perspectives. The assignments are challenging as is the final exam, but this is standard in good education, so it is absolutely necessary to get a professional diploma. The assignments were all very helpful and engaging, offering deep insights in UX theory and practice.

There is also a great flexibility in learning, which is very important, though related to greater responsibility from your side because you have to organize your learning process and assignment delivery schedule. However, the UX Design Institute offers instant guidance and support if you need help with anything. They are very friendly and caring with all students and graduates, helping with valuable career insights, practical advice, and portfolio prep sessions. The UX Design Institute's Slack channel also provides additional possibilities to communicate, share and discuss your work, professional challenges, or UX UI topics with other students and academics. I would definitely only recommend the UX Design Institute to anyone planning a professional career in UX Design, it is a great choice! 

My time at Springboard was highly valuable and worthwhile. While working independently on my capstone project, I learned the fundamentals of UX design, and worked towards building a solid foundation for a career in the field. The IDP project at the end challenged my skills in a group project environment, and provided real world experience with a startup company, Dartle. This work fed into the development of my portfolio, which was further strengthened by rigorous reviews and evaluations by Springboard staff. 

I had a great experience at UXDI. 
The instructors were knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter, which made the learning process much more enjoyable. 
Their courses are up-to-date and relevant to the industry, and their hands-on approach ensures that I gained all the knowledge necessary to build a strong portfolio and succeed in my UX design career.
 I would highly recommend UXDI as a great educational institution for anyone interested in becoming a UX designer! 

I was hesitant to join another bootcamp style online learning system, but was sold on it after a wonderful conversation with a program advisor. Once I started, I was greeted by my mentor and tutor, who have been with me since day one and have provided me with a plethora of helpful feedback, advice, and additional resources to read throughout my journey. The response time I get from everybody has been incredibly quick whether it's waiting for an assignment to get reviewed, or if I have a general question about the assignment I'm on or even just UX in general. I've also recently been connected with a career coach, and while our interactions have been limited at this point, I've already gained some truly helpful insight from her, and look forward to our future meetings.

What I love about the course is that it's an at-your-own pace program, meaning you can do it as fast as you please, or at your own convenience. Because my current job has ebbs and flows to the amount of work I'm given, I can play catchup on slow weeks and get many tasks submitted, or submit just one or two assignments on busier weeks and make sure I'm giving myself enough breaks to where I can decompress and try to absorb the information before jumping back into it. The course has been prepared excellently with an intro course that gives you the basics of what UX entails and provides you with a quick project to kickstart your journey. Once you complete that part, you're thrown into UX Immersion where you take on a course project for the entire duration, starting from research practices like competitor analysis and user interviews, to creating a high-fidelity prototype of the responsive web-app you are tasked to create. While I'm not the entire way through this course yet, I'm enjoying every second of my journey and feel like I'm truly developing great portfolio pieces that I can add to my website and start applying for jobs with in no time. I also love that there's a Slack community with highly active students, alumni, and CF staff that are always extremely helpful from answering questions to offering and asking for feedback on assignments. I've already made several connections I'm thrilled to have and look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.

I liked that this course is self paced and time flexible. Leading a busy life and studying at the same time can be daunting and having the flexibility to complete the course in my time took a lot of weight off my shoulders. The way the course is structured shows that they gave a lot of thought into making sure its clearly articulated, concise and understood by different levels of learners. I was impressed by the support given from enrollment to the student success team checking up checking up on your progress, the student community sharing via slack, the mentorship via webinars. This course leaves you with the knowledge and skills needed to apply in the real world as a ux designer. The exam is not easy so make sure you absorb all the in-depth ux concepts presented to you throughout the course. Learn and understand, don't just learn, if that makes any sense. Because the course is university accredited it is proctored VERY strictly so be prepared and keep a positive mind frame before sitting the exam. An overall positive experience with the UX Design Institute.

The course material was interesting, clear and easy to follow. The monthly project reviews during the webinars were really helpful, as well as the possibility to reach out to other students or mentors with questions or asking for appraisal. The projects were well-structured, not over-complicated (even for someone like me with no UX or Design experience) and at the same time offered a valuable opportunity to learn by doing. Career advice wasn't left as an  afterthought, and both students and instructos shared career opportunities and advice. I really enjoyed the free webinars and Q&A with UX professionals and the various inspirations and reading material that we were given as a way to further improve our skills independently. Overall I feel confident about the skills I have learned during the course and about the possibility of working in UX despite no previous experience in the field.
