I had a great time interviewing some potential users and playing with the programs to create my proposed application, and it was a great experience to imagine an idea as if I were bringing it to fruition in a product management role. The instructors recommended a lot of extra reading too for those who wanted to pursue PM further.Overall4.0Curriculum3.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

I would definitely say I learned something new and really enjoyed applying our new knowledge to the project. It really brought everything together. Some friendly feedback, I would say that the classes could have had more meet to them. Sometimes I felt like they could have been shorter or we could have combined two classes in one. But that may just be my learning pace. Instructors were kind, knowledgable, and helpful. Feedback for them is more stage presence to make the content more engaging.

You are only paying for the name and the certificate, which I need to find out how valuable that is in the UX/UI industry. Please do your research and seek out alternatives. Course instructors were not even knowledgeable, and watching them struggle with Figma was embarrassing.

After completing a UX course, you can expect to have a better understanding of user research, information architecture, wire framing, prototyping, and usability testing. You'll also learn about design thinking, which is a problem-solving approach that is widely used in the industry.
One of the best things about UX courses is that they often include a hands-on project, such as creating your own case study. This is a great opportunity to apply what you've learned in a practical setting and showcase your skills to potential employers.
Overall, if you're interested in a career in UX, taking a course is an excellent first step. It will not only provide you with the foundational knowledge you need but also give you a chance to work on a project that demonstrates your skills and sets you apart from other job candidates.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job support3.0Instructors5.0 -
