Professional Diploma in UX Design (structured) Reviews

This is a great course for anyone looking to learn about UX. The course is flexible giving you the option to complete it within 6 or 12 months. The course content is great you get taught the theory and then through the projects you get to implement what you have learned and get experience using the software and tools. There is alot of support so you never feel like you've been abandoned. The mentors are great and there is a whole community of UX designers through slack that are always happy to guide you.

This was my first formal education in UX and I really enjoyed it!There is a great mix of very interesting theory and practical projects to work on.The course is flexible and you can do it at your own pace or do it at the recommended structured timeline of 6 months and have you up to 12 months to finish the course.the project was great, it was engaging and challenging. I learned so many different skills from research to using figma and had great fun along the way!The mentors are really lovely too! There is also a Slack group for students which is really useful and lots of insightul info on there too.Thank you very muchAndrew

Took this course with a background as a product manager. Wanted to learn more about really understanding how we can create great products for the customers. The course gave me the toolset and practical skills to do this research myself but also allows me to recruit, with confidence, UX designers for my team. Great course and content. Took the self-paced course that took me 8 months. Suggested reading list is also a great introduction to this field. 

The UX Design Institute UX design course is an absolute must for every aspiring UX designer. Even if you are an experienced UX designer, you can still learn a tremendous amount about the process in a way that is considered the industry standard by the most respectful companies in the tech industry. The six-month course takes you form starting level to advanced level with theory and an interesting project. You'll learn from how to explain the value of UX to stakeholders, management and colleagues until how to execute deliverables for the development team. This and many other topics are discussed during this amazing course. I might sound excited, but that's because I am. Thank you to the UX Design Institute team for developing such a professional and comprehensive course.

This is an online course supported by the Caledonian University of Glasgow, with its roots in Dublin, Ireland. The main focus is User Experience, which has become an independent discipline of its own and the UX Design Institute stands for it as it is. With Colman Walsh and keen staff, UXDI strives for gaining results rather than acknowledgment as an education game-changer. With a tool such as Slack, students and facilitators can interact and chat with each other to share insights and ideas, even help each other to get tips and inspiration from person to person. On the other side, they rule different workshops across Europe, find more information at www.uxtraining.com In general, I loved the approach of the institute, and I highly recommend it. So don't hesitate to make a decision. 

Great course, very well structured. Ability to learn at own pace and time as long as assignments are submitted by deadlines. Very helpful team and tutors who were always offering help and support if needed. Slack channel with fellow learners was excellent too as were live webinars and workshops run by the UX Design Institute. Would definitely recommend this course for anyone considering getting into UX Design or involved in a startup and needing to understand enough from a 'Product' perspective. 

 I have learned the mindset, the confidence and the skills that make UX designers so valuable with a globally recognized, industry-approved qualification. The Professional Diploma in UX Design gave me a thorough understanding of the concepts and techniques today’s employers are looking for.
I have gained practical skills that can give businesses a competitive advantage by providing great experiences to their users through designs. I found the course to be extremely well and provided grateful information. I had never taken an online class before and I definitely learned a lot and understand the UX Design process to create good products that provide meaningful and relevant experiences to end users. 

The experience was sub par. I haven’t left a review for anything in my life, but I felt this was important for anyone looking to make a career pivot. I’ll start with the pros:- course is easy- affordable- graduated within 3 months- responsive in slack - Eoghan is probably the best mentor there Cons:- mentor ship isn’t really mentor ship, it’s more so people responding to questions on a forum. If you’re looking for that 1 on 1 quality development, continue searching for a different school. James is one of the mentors there and he is extremely rude and pretentious. - videos are outdated - grading process is archaic - the final exam doesn’t necessarily align well with what we learn in the course (I did pass however) My biggest takeaways in regards to skills from this course were: Usability Testing, Affinity Diagrams and Prototyping/Wireframing.You can learn this stuff on YouTube. All in all, you get what you pay for. It was about a $2000 course. I managed to finish in 3 months (January 2021). If you’re looking to get your feet wet I’d recommend anything in Udemy. The investment cost for a career pivot might be more rewarding in courses like Career Foundry or General Assembly. 

This course is great for those considering a career / career change towards UX Design. Being an industrial designer and familiar with the methods taught in this course, this course have both deepened and sharpened my design researching skills, and I would recommend it to both beginners and professionals. It gives you solid knowledge not just briefly going through "app design" as many other courses do. 

Pros for the course- Well structured, with plenty of valuable information to learn from.- Course material in interactive and having to do projects along the way is very helpful to practice.- Feedback on your projects and what to improve is great and to the point.- You get access to slack groups where everyone is supportive and helpful.- Shows software that can be used which is good for those like me that had no idea.- You get Glasgow Caledonian University on your diploma as the course is a collaboration with them.- Can do it in your own pace as you have 1 year to complete it.Cons for the course- Can be a bit pricey, but is not the most expensive out there.- Doesn’t provide an idea/test practice for the final exam, so you go through all the course material.
