UX Courses

With our online UX courses, which generally take up a few half days, we aim to give you a similar experience and access to experts that you would have in an in-person UX design workshop.

Jump to all upcoming UX design courses ↓

With our online UX courses however, you can take them from your own desk or couch, and can do it either live (real-time) or watch the video course at your own leisure, as all video recordings are included.

Practical and interactive courses

Our online courses have a lot of practical ux design examples and interactive exercises. If you are watching live, you can ask questions during Q&A, and of course you can use the online course recordings and materials to study UX design at your own pace, at your own time.

Wide range of UX design topics

We offer many online UX design courses at various levels, covering a wide range of UX design topics, such as Interface Design Patterns, Psychology for UX, Design Systems and many more. Please check our upcoming (live) courses, and see what UX design courses we have offered in the past, if you want to be notified of new live offerings.

Blown away by all the knowledge I've soaked in from @rachelandrew's online CSS layout masterclass. Incredible how much you can learn about a thing you thought you already knew just by hearing it explained again. Thanks for organising this @smashingconf #smashingconf ✨

    The Power of Storytelling

    with Chiara Aliotta

    Workshop, 5×2h + Q&A Mon & Tue, January 20 – February 2025
    09:00 – 11:30 AM PT 18:00 – 20:30 CET Check your time zone

    What is storytelling, and how can stories help UX designers create remarkable experiences?

    Storytelling is more than a marketing buzzword. Storytelling is much more than a justification for technical creative decisions… a trap many designers fall into when words like “design thinking” and “user-centric” sound too technical and cold. When used appropriately, storytelling creates powerful and memorable digital experiences. In this workshop, we are going to discover how!

    Design Patterns For AI Interfaces

    with Vitaly Friedman

    Workshop, 5×2h + Q&A Wed & Thu, January 22 – February 5 2025
    09:00 – 11:30 AM PT 18:00 – 20:30 CET Check your time zone

    As we all are exploring ways to include AI in our products, too often we rely on a good old-fashioned conversational UI to bring AI to life. However, this experience is often painfully slow, the responses are generic and users have to meticulously explain to Gemini, Chat-GPT and others just what exactly they need — over and over and over again.

    In this workshop, we’ll explore new design patterns for better AI experiences, with daemons, clustering, style lenses, structured presets and templates, dynamic editing, temperature knobs and everything in-between! The workshop isn’t about how to use Midjourney, Chat-GPT etc., but rather how to design better AI experiences.

    Frustrating design patterns are everywehere! Not a day passes by without painful fire hydrant puzzles, inaccessible navigation menus, confusing Cancel/X buttons, disabled copy-paste, rigorous password requirements, deceptive progress indicators and unreadable charts. They confuse and disrupt people, but they are also remarkably expensive for businesses — often dismissed, overlooked, ignored.

    In this workshop, we’ll take a closer look at some frustrating design patterns and explore effective alternatives — to improve UX and accessibility, but also help businesses save on costs and increase revenue.
