Is this course right for me?


We assume little awareness of the user experience or usability field. Our courses are appropriate for anyone working in the creation of digital products who wants to learn about the process, tools and techniques to create successful user experiences. The courses are not focused on how to use specific software applications like Figma, Photoshop, or Axure.
