Days 1 & 2 – UX and UI foundations, day 3 – Prototyping in Figma, day 4 – Project work, day 5 – Portfolio building with more project work + techniques on how to make the design process more efficient with AI.

Hands-on 5-day bootcamp for everyone who wants to upskill in both User Experience and User Interface design (graphic designers, marketers, project managers). We cover an entire design process: from user research to prototyping using Figma.

💼 You will be working on various projects with lots of practical exercises throughout the week: designing a mobile app and desktop software from scratch. And you'll create your own portfolio too.

📍 The course is run in-person at Canada Water Culture Space in London SE16 7AR. You can join online too via Zoom with live instructors (not recordings) – you'll be able to ask questions and we'll provide feedback on your work in real-time.

Our students rate us ‘Excellent’.
Come see why for yourself.

As a graphic designer I wanted to gain more of an insight into the world of UX/UI design and I was definitely given the knowledge and tools to be able to apply them into my day to day role.

Shauna

I took this course as a content designer wanting to learn more about UI and UX. Most other courses don't offer certificates but this one did. So it's great to have actual evidence to place on my CV, LinkedIn and online portfolio.

Jordan

This was a fantastic week of learning. Each tutor was incredibly helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to start a career in UX and or UI.

Izzy

I did the UX writing course and it was exactly what I needed. I'm looking forward to finishing the UX/UI cycle with the school of ux and upping this to a 5-star review.
