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 ✨

Design Patterns For AI Interfaces
with Vitaly Friedman

As product teams race to include AI in products, they too often rely on a good old-fashioned patterns like an assistant, or a chatbot. However, this experience is often painfully slow, the responses are generic and users have to meticulously explain to AI just what exactly they need — over and over and over again.
In this workshop, we’ll explore shiny 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, ChatGPT etc., but rather how to design better AI products and experiences. -

Your design system looks great in Figma, and then the code tells a different story. AI prototypes look finished and get rebuilt, the button is 2px taller, and nobody can say whether that was a decision or an accident.
This workshop is for designers who want to understand how Figma, code and AI tools can finally speak the same language, without having to become developers. -
