The School of UX Reviews

Variety of different teaching styles and briefs.
Had a great experience on the course. You could tell every tutor has their unique methods of teaching due to their specialism and so I got a taste of different areas of UX and got to ask very specific questions. The only thing I would ask is for recording class time to rewatch and understand the steps to different methods.

The tutors are excellent with a wealth of knowledge. The course itself contained all the materials needed to get a overview of UX Design from theory to execution. Overall it boosted my understanding and ability in the area of UX design, that as an career changer is proving extremely useful in making the switch. The only reason it's not receiving a 5 star review is as a career changer with no experience in this area I took the 4 week and I believe the 7 week would've proven better for me.

I had a great experience on the 7-week bootcamp with the School of UX. The tutors are incredibly knowledgeable and have excellent real life experience which is invaluable to be able to share so closely.

The blend of practical and theoretical learning was a great way to solidify what we were learning and as someone with a limited UX background, I was able to keep up with the tasks. The instructors were all very friendly and there to help in anyway they could.

I would definitely recommend this boot camp for anyone considering a career change or looking to improve their UX knowledge.

Thank you to all the instructors!

The bootcamp was a great starting point for my learning journey in the UX field. I come from a data viz and analytics background so I had almost zero design skills. Having said this, I was scared at first that I'll be easily left behind. However, the tutors were great in guiding everyone in the cohort regardless of our skill levels. I've learned exactly what I was expecting to learn and it gave me the resources I needed to get into more in depth study in the future. I would recommend the bootcamp to anyone who's interested.

The breadth of experience and knowledge of the tutors was welcome and encouraging. They ensure no one gets left behind. Made things relevant to what businesses expect today.
I think some parts of the course needed more practical parts than listening > ux writing.
Better communication on agenda to help plan the time on the course better.

I took 7 7-week UX design course, and it was the best time ever invested. All tutors were great, bringing different expertise to the table. I was running ecommerce website for some years and this course just connected all the dots for me. I can do so many things on my own without spending money on freelancers. Thank you so much for all the School of UX team.

I highly recommend the School of UX to anyone ready to make their career change to UX. I learnt so much in a short space of time from highly experienced UX professionals.

Sergei and his team of tutors were extremely knowledgeable and supported us to get stuck in - doing UX right from the beginning of the course (as someone who learns better by doing, this was very much appreciated).

I didn't feel any limitations with learning through live online classes, everything was well organised and catered for. Feedback was acted on too.

We were able to network with other classmates, and received valuable career advice too.

I was actually sad when the course ended, as I enjoyed it so much! Thank you Sergei and team.

The 7-week bootcamp was a great blend of expert guidance from industry professionals, theory and hands-on practice with portfolio and project guidance tailored to individual circumstances. Definitely recommend as an option if you want to build a solid foundation of the ux design process to support your career or business goals.

The course is structured in such a way that it covers everything you need to know and allows you the flexibility to dig deeper in the areas that interest you the most.

I found it incredibly valuable to have access to tutors that are experts in their field, and being able to practice the skills with existing experiences and products.

I really enjoyed this UX Bootcamp and I would highly recommend if you want to get into UX/UI Design. What makes this online Bootcamp special is that it’s over Zoom and you can talk to your tutor and ask questions! And you have multiple tutors for different topics. I had lots of fun and learnt so much about not only UX but also UI and Web Development.

I had a great time learning and interacting with people during the UX bootcamp, I literally learned so much but it was paced in a way that made sense. The personality of the tutors only enhanced this. I got a lot of value from them and I'm so grateful I choose this course!

Terrible experience. Serious lack of accessibility awareness which only reflects the industry's reluctance to comply with accessibility, inclusion and equity. I complained several times about how impossible it was for me to follow the classes and even gave them recommendations on how to improve their service but Sergei limited himself to saying: "We've taken your comments on board" without making any significant changes or improvements. It seems they're just there to make money off us without actually caring or truly helping us achieve our goals. You can learn the same stuff from various YouTube channels at your own pace

Those teachers are great and provide some guidelines to students which is very useful. Also, the school links up with job agencies to students find a job and provides some skills about how to write a CV and portfolio.

Really good course. Tutors were amazing and the content was great!

Anyone looking to start their career in UX should certainly do this course.

The course has a good balance of conceptual learning and hands-on practice, which allows me to be able to practice what I have learnt under the support of tutors.

The tutors are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, they never hesitate to feedback and suggest different solutions when I hit the wall, also they encourage individual thoughts and personal growth, which is quite different from any other course I attended before.

They also offer great and efficient career support after completion.

If you are aiming to land a career in UX and have basic knowledge in UX design, I highly recommend taking this bootcamp.

I recently attended a 3 day UX event hosted by Sergei at The School of UX. The training was very engaging and content was excellent, I would thoroughly recommend.
I would also like to take the opportunity to mention Sergei, the trainer. He was brilliant, very knowledgeable and managed to keep a large number of attendees engaged for 3 days which is no easy task. He provided lots of pragmatic tips and I feel better equipped to apply this learning in my organisation. A massive thank you.

What made this course with Sergei unique was his explanation of what UX is and how it should be done. I went into the course with little knowledge about wireframing and UI. The exercises were relevant and the structure of the course showed how UX supports how customers experience a service or product.
I was also aware that there was a lot I didn't know. Sergei was very patient and explained everything.
I learnt about presenting content in an accessible way.

3 afternoon sessions of full-on info about all aspects of UI & UX, (with intro to Sketch or Figma and Invision included) how to design real-world practical apps that businesses and Programmers can work with.

Smart modern classroom in a new library, next door to the tube station.

Sergei and Co couldn't be more helpful.

Practical and fun Content Design course with former CNN journalist and current TFL content guru Felice Hawley.
Felice's slides and teaching reflect exactly what she is preaching. Her message is to avoid word clutter and be super clear when you write. All her material and delivery does just that so you really get the idea. She also runs lots of fun, group exercises so you have to do your own thinking. We learnt how users read on screen compared to paper and how to make life easy for them,
I really appreciated the effort Felice put into fairly catering to the needs of the in-person attendees and the online ones simultaneously. Hybrid isn't easy - this class was a great example of how to do this well.

I was unsure what to expect when I realised the course would be run remotely due to Covid-19 but was thoroughly delighted in the end. As someone who’s worked in tech/IT for nearly ten years, and work closely with designers and developers, I felt I was able to gain a much deeper appreciation of how to work with them as well as improving my UX, design and front-end skills for my own projects. Each day builds on the last until you’re putting together working prototypes (in code) by day four. Top notch 👌

I read the reviews on trust pilot rigorously before deciding to attend. I can wholeheartedly say they were all accurate and glad I joined. Sergei is an amazing teacher, humorous, fun and incredibly engaging. I came into the 4 day intro to UX as a complete novice, and having done the 4 days am now way more equipped in making a decision to transition into it as a new career. I would highly recommend this course. Thank you Sergei!
