Skills for Life Skills Bootcamp logo Funded by Uk Government logo


💷 Funded by Greater London Authority (GLA)
 — if you are a UK-resident aged 19 or over, have the right to work in the UK, and live in London. Self-employed, unemployed, employed individuals are 100%-funded. Skills Bootcamps are free, flexible courses giving people the opportunity to build up sector-specific skills and an offer of an interview with an employer upon completion. 

💪 Let's cut through the noise and separate the AI-hype from how you can practically apply AI in UX design — practicing on real projects, turning ideas into working prototypes. We cover an entire product design process with AI: business and user research, UX writing, wireframing UI in Figma using grid and design system, vibe-coding in Lovable, usability and A/B testing, conversion tracking, pitching your product to business stakeholders and more.

  • Cohort 1 — December 1–19, 2025
  • Cohort 2 — January 12–30, 2026
  • Cohort 3 — February 16–March 6, 2026

💼 You will be working on various projects with lots of practical exercises throughout the weeks, building your portfolio. We have arranged for you to meet our employer partners, and will provide career advice.
