Professional Diploma in UX Design (structured) Reviews

I would say overall it was worth my time and money. I have no previous design experience and found learning the entire process incredibly helpful.  I think I have learned a lot of skills that are applicable outside of the world of UX especially in research/analysis and the design process. The course is taught over ten modules with UX concepts on video. You are also given 6 webinars live with an expert where you can showcase your work and get feedback or at least see what others are doing. Then on top of that, and what I've found an enormous help, you are given access to a Slack channel with your course mates as well as a general Slack channel for everyone who is on the course. These are really active, especially the latter, and lots of people post their projects for feedback which I find really helpful to take on board myself. There is also regular interaction with course tutors on email when you submit projects. I was expected to do at least 11 projects, and there is a total of 16 (if you opt to do them all you would be doing mobile and desktop). These are research (user testing, in-depth interviews, survey, competitor benchmarking) analysis (empathy maps, affinity diagram, flow diagram), and design (define navigation, define interactions, prototype and wireframe) and then a multiple-choice exam which is pass/fail. I've given them 3/5 for 'job assistance' but this isn't a major focus of the course - they do however give very helpful tips on portfolio building and job hunting in the final module.
