What's on

Understand how to carry out UX research and user testing, as well as prototype responsive User Interfaces for mobile apps, large-screen kiosks and web in Figma, and present your design to clients.

🗓️ Days 1 & 2 — UX and UI design fundamentals, day 3 — wireframing, day 4 — project work, day 5 — building portfolio.

A hands-on course on UX and UI design fundamentals where we cover an entire product design process: business and user research, wireframing UI using grid system and style guide, usability and A/B testing, conversion tracking, pitching your product to business stakeholders and more.

💼 You will be working on various projects with lots of practical exercises throughout the week. And you'll design your own portfolio too.

💬 The course is run remotely via live video with live instructors (not recordings) – you'll be able to ask questions and we'll provide feedback on your work in real-time.

One-to-one mentoring is available additionally to the course: we'll review your portfolio, provide career advice, salary insights, and prepare you for that interview.
