What you will learn in this 1 day course

Is this course right for me?

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.

We assume little awareness of the user experience or usability field. The courses are not focused on how to use specific software applications like Figma, Photoshop, or Axure.

Things don't always work out! After you register, if something changes and you have to cancel:

We require a minimum of four participants for a course to go ahead. In the unlikely event that we do not attain the minimum class size, we retain the right to cancel the course. If this happens, we will inform participants at least five business days before the course date and either issue a full refund or re-book your course to a later date, if preferred.

Tedde van Gelderen

President

Tedde infuses Akendi, its services and methodology with his drive to make customer and user experiences go beyond a singular product or service. Experience Thinking starts with the holistic experience customers and users have with an organisation over time, then guides the enabling technologies and content to create intentional experiences. In his view, Experience Thinking should become deeply rooted in an organisation’s creation processes.
