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

    Workshop, 5×2h + Q&A Tue & Thu, June 16–30, 2026
    9:00 – 11:30 AM PT 18:00 – 20:30 CEST Check your time zone

    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.

    The Modern UX Practitioner

    with Paul Boag

    Workshop, 4×1.5h + Q&A Wed & Thu, June 24 – July 2, 2026
    9:00 – 11:00 AM PDT 18:00 – 20:00 CEST Check your time zone

    UX work has always been about doing more with less. Less time, less budget, fewer resources than you really need. That pressure is only getting worse. Stakeholders want richer insights, faster turnarounds, and more polished deliverables than ever before. AI is the most significant new tool in a UX professional’s kit in a generation, and used well it can help you meet those demands without cutting corners or burning out.

    This masterclass is a practical guide to doing modern UX work with AI alongside you. Not hype, not theory, but the specific techniques Paul uses every week across research, design, content, and design leadership. Four sessions, two hours, delivered twice a week over two weeks so you have time to apply what you are learning between sessions.

    In this workshop, we’ll cover practical design patterns and real-life examples for multi-level navigation, complex data tables, live filtering, search and autocomplete, actionable dashboards, multi-page forms, and a whole lot more.

    Accessibility for Designers

    with Stéphanie Walter

    Workshop, 4×2h + Q&A Mon & Tue, September 21–29 2026
    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.
