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.

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 ✨

Accessibility for Designers
with Stéphanie Walter
Workshop, 4×2h + Q&A • Mon & Wed, June 3–12 2024
9:30 AM – 12:00 PM PT • 18:30 – 21:00 CET • Check your time zone ⏰
In the early stages of product development, accessibility considerations are frequently ignored. Accessibility is mistakenly considered a problem to be resolved down the line, often put on the shoulder of the development team.
But accessibility is the responsibility of the whole team. Including designers. And a lot of accessibility issues can be already foreseen and prevented during the design phase. As designers, you hold the power to shape product roadmaps by including accessibility best practices in your designs and advocating for accessibility features.
This practical workshop is designed to equip attendees with the knowledge and skills to design products that are accessible and user-friendly.

Designing For Complex UI Masterclass
with Vitaly Friedman
Workshop, 5×2h + Q&A • Thu & Fri, June 20 – July 2 2024
09:00 – 11:30 AM PT • 18:00 – 20:30 CET • Check your time zone ⏰
Not much can surprise us when it comes to interface challenges. We can design a decent card, a well-rounded accordion, an accessible modal and an exquisite hamburger navigation. But what if there are slightly more complex UX challenges ahead of us?
Well, complex UI doesn’t have to be complicated. In this online workshop with Vitaly Friedman, UX consultant and creative lead behind Smashing Magazine, we’ll dive deep into dissecting how to solve complex design problems. Whether you’re working on a complex nested multi-level navigation or creating enterprise grade tables, this workshop will give you the tools you need to excel at your work.- Your instructor

Design Patterns For AI Interfaces
with Vitaly Friedman
Workshop, 5×2h + Q&A • Tue & Wed, July 9–23 2024

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.

Fast and Budget-Friendly User Research and Testing
with Paul Boag
Workshop, 4×1h + Q&A • Thu & Fri, July 11–25 2024
09:00 – 10:30 AM PT • 18:00 – 19:30 CET • Check your time zone ⏰
We don’t live in an ideal world. Most of us have too much work, too little time, and too small a budget. When it comes to digital projects, it seems like our clients or bosses always prioritize speed over quality.
To make matters worse, we read countless articles telling us how we should do things. These articles emphasize research and testing but do nothing more than leave us disillusioned and add to our imposter syndrome.
In this workshop, we want to try a different approach. Instead of telling you the best practices, we will explore practical approaches to user research that we can fit into our existing projects.
This workshop is one hour of teaching and 30 minutes of Q&A, instead of the usual 2 hours and 30 minutes of discussion.- Your instructor
