UX Design Institute is an accredited online UX design program that offers intensive 6-month or 12-month courses, resulting in a Professional Diploma in UX Design from the Glasgow Caledonian University. Courses cover UX principles, user research, analysis frameworks, interaction design, prototyping, and wireframing. The courses are delivered entirely online with video modules and regular mentor-led webinars. Each course has a dedicated mentor, all of which are UX professionals with years of industry experience. Students create several projects throughout their time in the program with the aim of enhancing their prospects in the job market. The programs conclude with a 2-hour exam required to receive the Diploma.
UX Design Institute applicants don’t need experience in design or technology to enroll. Having one or both may help you advance, but the program was created with beginners in mind. Students are admitted on a case-by-case basis after a consultation with one of UDI’s Education Advisors. Applicants fill out an online form after which someone from the UX design institute will follow up to discuss enrollment. Critical factors in the initial discussion will be prior applicable skills, commitment to the program, and proficiency in English – all course communications are in English. After an applicant has been accepted, they can begin.
UX Design Institute works with an Industry Advisory Council which includes companies like Dell, Slack, Mastercard, SAP, and Virgin Media. The advisory board ensures that courses are continually updated with the skills students need to make them relevant in the job market. Alumni have gone on to work with companies like Amazon, Airbnb, Uber, and Google.

The course material is good, the lecturers nice to listen to. For me the 6 month schedule did not work so well, because I juggle a fulltime job and a family, but in the end I did graduate. Be prepared to dedicate longer stretches of focused time for the practical part. Personally, I do not think this course prepared me well enough for my current design job - then again, I did not expect it to. Working with designers a lot, I more or less knew what the job was about. I will be honest: although I am lucky enough to be an in-house trainee, still it will take another 6 months till I potentially could reach the junior level my company holds as a requirement for even hiring someone. The UI/visual design part, being able to sketch, wireframe and prototype (using a design system) often, on the spot, and fast, is what you do not learn doing just 1 case study. Also I will really have to skill up on the research and testing part. Another skill that is essential is to present and defend design choices ' en public' to stakeholders - and to gather the feedback and iterate. This, I would say, is one of the most important parts of the job! The theory about this is mentioned in the course but this is sth. you need to practice. All in all, a good foundation.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

They were knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to help. The pace of the class was just right - not too fast, not too slow - and the course provided a good balance of overview and introduction to UX design as well as some elements of depth to be able to apply them on real world examples.
One thing I really appreciated about the course was the attention given to project work. Naomi and Alberto made sure to take time to explain and answer all our questions as well as give guidance on the project work. This was incredibly helpful, as it allowed us to apply the concepts we learned in class to real-world scenarios. At the end of the course we even got some good examples of how we could start presenting our portfolio one example cases for a job interview which was very helpful.
Overall, I would highly recommend the UX Design course from Brainstation. Naomi and Alberto, were fantastic, and the course content was relevant and engaging. If you're looking to learn more about UX design, this is definitely a course worth considering.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support3.0Instructors5.0 -

Durante mi trayectoria logré graduarme en el top 10 en todos los cursos que finalizó en la institución. Realicé los cursos de Diseño UX/UI Inicial y Avanzado, Photoshop e Illustrator y por último Product Manager. Actualmente, continúo en carrera realizando el curso de UX Writing y UX Research.
Si bien mi trayectoria inicial ha sido como profesora en ed especial, siempre tuve puesta la mirada en la accesibilidad y la inclusión, mi amor por el diseño y el desarrollo en cuanto a lo digital, siempre estuvo ahí.
Como soy una apasionada en todo lo que me gusta hacer, me di cuenta que Coderhouse era la mejor opción para mí, y para muchas de las personas que conocía en mi paso como estudiante. Coder nos brinda una cursada metódica, ordenada, con clases y profes que aman lo que hace, y se nota!
Por lo que recomiendo al 100% las cursadas en Coder. Tiene muchas ventajas.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

After some research I decided upon the UX Design Institute Diploma. There were several reasons for this choice, first the course is accredited (which was important to me) and second, I was able to take as long as I needed to complete the course (up to 1 year). This second point was important as having done OU courses in the past I found the deadlines for assignments not always compatible with a fairly hectic work life whereas this is much more flexible.
Having completed the course now I can say I've been impressed with the student support, the content delivery and the projects. I would say that this is unlikely to suit someone who isn't ready to be self directed or put the effort in when it comes to the projects, but you could say that of any course. I also like UXDI's ongoing engagement after the course has finished e.g. career advice interviews, portfolio support and a well managed online alumni community.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -
