Testimonials
Joe, Junior UX Designer
“It was highly interactive, taught by really warm, passionate instructors. It was a great mix of teaching and testing. I liked working with the other classmates.”
Matilda, Connected Experience Coordinator
“Now that I have completed the course I will be more confident to challenge people’s assumptions when we are building new products, and I feel more confident that this is the right path for me.”
Karen, Freelance Desginer
I have learnt that UX is a lot to do with psychology, communication, deep listening, understanding and empathising with your clients/stakeholders/customers. I hope to be able to apply this to everything I do”
Neil Mather, Product Manager
“The biggest takeaway is that UX exercises your creativity and puts you in an excellent state of mind. It helped that the teacher was very passionate about her subject.”
Colin Crerar CEO
“The course was a really good introduction and overview to UX. It presented all elements of the process from inception to completion, with an opportunity to work through an idea while learning important concepts.”
Amy Jones, Digital Production Assistant
“The interaction was really good – I also really appreciated the resources as it was good to go over them after the course. Sometimes it’s hard to take all of the information in, having the resources allowed me to do so in my spare time.”
