Dribbble
Dribbble is an online product design school offering design courses that run between 6 and 24 weeks. Courses are live, online, part-time and designed to level-up skills in the areas of digital Product Design, Design Systems, career and portfolio preparation, UX, and UI Design. The courses cover topics like design thinking, UX/UI research, wireframing, flow diagrams, designing in Figma, design systems, UI libraries, getting hired, and more. Dribbble's flexible learning curriculum allows students with busy lifestyles to learn on their own schedule, on their own time. Dribbble also offers a Figma Fundamentals Course for beginners, which can be taken for upskilling or as a pathway to the Product Design Course. Dribbble’s courses follow a dual-delivery instructional model that mixes on-demand video lectures with weekly, live mentorship sessions led by industry leaders.
The mentorship experience is a huge focus of Dribbble Education. These weekly, 2-hour group sessions are led by mentors with over 4 years of professional experience in Product Design and specialized areas in the field. In these sessions, students receive personalized feedback on course projects and can connect with other like-minded designers participating in the course. Alongside weekly mentorship sessions, students attend a handful of live learning sessions led by industry leaders. These interactive learning sessions and live Q&As offer students a unique opportunity to get expert advice and insights from the best in the business.
Students will complete between 1 and 4 portfolio-ready projects (depending on the course) that can be shared on their free 1-year Dribbble Pro Account (included in the course tuition). This puts student work in front of Dribbble's vast network of hiring managers looking to hire product design professionals.

Access to the the mentor and having peers to discuss the work with helped in better knowledge and understanding, though I was happy to learn more with the tools I was already using as well, as I was necessarily improved with (Figma in this case). The only issue was that the pacing needed some re-configuring as some concepts were harder to achieve understanding or clarity on than others, such as working with components and auto-layouts, and adding more to the user testing and revision stage of the project. I certainly feel more confident moving forward, and have utilized my new skills almost immediately within my current studio. I think it was very valuable and have zero regrets.- Yari PujolsUX Designer • Graduate • Product Design Academy • OnlineJul 19, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Just what I needed
I saw the Dribbble course when they first launch and was a little apprehensive with moving forward as there's so many courses and you never know how good it will be. I decided to wait. The next cohort came around and I made the decision to commit and join the course. I'm really glad I did because I received a lot of knowledge and was partnered with a great group that was really involved throughout the course.

I decided to wait. The next cohort came around and I made the decision to commit and join the course. I'm really glad I did because I received a lot of knowledge and was partnered with a great group that was really involved throughout the course. I was then able to use the product I designed as part of my portfolio which landed me a job pretty quickly. I don't know if it was just luck as I had been looking for a job for a fews years, but I'm truly greatly for the experience and how it propelled me into the job that checked all my boxes. - Sandra RuizSenior UX Designer • Graduate • Product Design Academy • OnlineJul 19, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
I enjoyed a lot to learn from others and my mentor was amazing!
I already worked as a product designer when I signed up for the course. Even though I had experience in the field I learned a lot of new things specially related to UI Design. I had a great time during the Product Design Course with Dribbble. I learned a lot from other people in my cohort and my mentor was amazing at explaining the theory and giving feedback. I recognized that the course gave me the opportunity to work on my portfolio. - Yohan DuclouxStudent • Product Design Academy • OnlineJul 19, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Awesome entry into Product Design
The best intro you could get to the product design world.
A great fondation to improve upon after.
The group/mentorship cessions made the difference, seeing people different take on the same project is really interesting. - Gabriel ClarkGraduate • Product Design Academy • OnlineJul 19, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Excellent Foundational Course
Taking the Dribbble course was a fantastic way to connect with mentors, peers, and the industry. I learned a ton from my mentors and the course. From basic research to wire framing to design critiques to whiteboarding this course is jam packed with golden nuggets. - Craig JanzenGraduate • Product Design Academy • OnlineJul 19, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Learned a lot from mentor
The benefit for me was the time I spent talking with my mentor. She was very knowledgeable and provided excellent critiques of my designs. My only wish is that we could have worked on real world products for this bootcamp. - Laetitia BreedtProduc Designer • Graduate • Product Design Academy • OnlineJul 18, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Dribble Product Design Course
I absolutely loved this course. From limited industry experience, I graduated with confidence and excitement to take on a full time job in the industry. My mentor Taya was highly skilled and guided our group wonderfully throughout each week sharing tips and and industry secrets. I would (and have) recommended this course to others wanting to pivot their careers or simply up skill themselves. - Justine ZhangUX Designer II • Graduate • Product Design Academy • OnlineJul 18, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great for starting out
I took this course to brush up on my design skills, and it really did help with understanding what the industry is looking for nowadays and to review my UX design skills. I got to meet a lot of great people and have a great mentorship and great feedback overall, I would take this course again this is great for people who have taken a different bachelors degree outside of design well and wanting to start off with product design. - Katherine V.Graduate • Product Design Academy • OnlineJul 18, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great Design Boost
This course gave me a great boost in learning digital product design. You learn the whole design process from start to finish. My mentor was a big help and did a good job teaching the curriculum. - Dev VijhGraduate • Product Design Academy • OnlineJul 18, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Perfect Introductory Course for someone who wants to explore the field of digital product design
My experience with this course was good but it could have been better. The pros of this course are:
- Provides global exposure of the design community - mentor & cohort
- Easy introduction to various aspects of product design
The cons are:
- The curriculum does cover various topics but only teaches the basica of it.
- The no. of sessions with Jessie and mentor could have been more. - Reed CaputoDESIGNER • Student • Product Design Academy • OnlineJul 18, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Decent Experience
The course material and teacher were very informative and educational. Half of the class seemed to drop by the end of the course and class participation was very low. The class became more difficult to function as many students were not doing the required work and therefore we didnt have much to discuss during class. As a result I felt as though I did not receive the full experience. Teacher knew the material and presented it well. Live Q & A's hosted by Dribbble were short and we d...The course material and teacher were very informative and educational.

As a result I felt as though I did not receive the full experience. Teacher knew the material and presented it well. Live Q & A's hosted by Dribbble were short and we didnt get our questions answered each time.
Overall, I learned something but don't feel as though it was worth the time and money. I was under the impression we would be placed into interviews for jobs towards the end but in reality we were just told advice on how to interview. - Justin Ar-RasheedUX Engineer • Graduate • OnlineJun 14, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Scaling Design Systems (Course)
I took the design systems course. It exceeded my expectations. I left the course being more proficient at using Figma as a system, becoming more efficient at visual and interaction design, and better at communicating between design and code more efficiently using tools such as npm or design tokens
