            QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT ANSWERS.

            Great user experiences offer a competitive advantage for any company. They help keep customers loyal and turn them into a brand’s biggest advocates. Plus, they drive product adoption and bottom-line growth. According to a report by InVision, 92% of mature design organizations can draw a straight line from the efforts of their design team to their company’s revenue.

            For professionals interested in UX and design thinking, this means that gaining new UX design skills can make you an indispensable team member and expand your career opportunities — whether you’re a designer or in a design-adjacent role like marketing, product, engineering, operations, and more. 

            Yes. When you pass this UX Design Short Course, you’ll receive a signed certificate of completion. Thousands of GA alumni use their course certificate to demonstrate skills to potential employers — including our hiring partners — along with their LinkedIn networks. Our UX Design Short Course is well-regarded by many top employers, who contribute to our curriculum and partner with us to train their own teams.

            UX skills are a powerful extension to a professional background in marketing, product, engineering, interaction design, business strategy, and more. You’ll find a diverse range of students in the classroom, including:

            • Graphic designers, user interface designers, and visual designers who want to upgrade skills and take on more strategic UX design work.
            • Professionals in adjacent fields like marketing, advertising, product, engineering, research, and business strategy who can accelerate their job performance by broadening their skills.
            • Mid-career professionals looking to formalize their UX skill set and spark upward or lateral career movement.

            Ultimately, this UX design program attracts a community of eager learners who are passionate about crafting delightful, user-centric products and campaigns.

            This is a beginner-friendly UX design program with no prerequisites, although many students are familiar with graphic and digital design concepts. Whether you’re new to the UX design field or you’re looking to formalize your practice, our curriculum helps you gain fluency in end-to-end UX processes, tools, and documentation and put them to work for you, your company, and your career.

            Our Admissions team can discuss your background and learning goals to advise if this UX Design Short Course is a good fit for you.

            Here are just some of the benefits you can expect as a GA student:

            • 40 hours of expert UX design instruction designed to build a strong foundation in the user experience design practice.
            • A short onboarding task to prepare for this UX design course.
            • Robust coursework, including expert-vetted lesson decks, project toolkits, and more. Refresh and refine your knowledge throughout your professional journey as needed.
            • A real-world project where you’ll apply the end-to-end UX process to a product of your choice, creating documentation and a case study for your portfolio.
            • Individual feedback and guidance from instructors and teaching assistants during office hours. Stay motivated and make the most of your experience with the help of GA’s dedicated team.
            • Exclusive access to alumni discounts, networking events, and career workshops.
            • A GA course certificate to showcase your new skill set on LinkedIn.
            • Connections with a professional network of instructors and peers that lasts well beyond the course. The global GA community can help you navigate and succeed in the field.
            We’re proud to offer numerous other directly connected courses, from other short courses like front-end web development, product management, and visual design, to our full-time career change focused tech bootcamp in UX design.

            For your final project, you’ll work on a real-world UX design problem, applying all the concepts and tools learned in the UX design course to a product of your choice. You’ll get hands-on practice with each step in the UX process and create professional standard documentation spanning personas, information architecture, user flows, wireframes, and more. You’ll also deliver a final presentation, which can serve as a case study for stakeholders, future employers, and your portfolio.

            We encourage you to tackle a user experience design challenge that’s related to your work or a passion project you’ve been meaning to carve out time for.

            Throughout the UX course, you’ll also complete a number of smaller projects designed to reinforce what you’ve learned in each unit.

            Yes. All of our short courses are designed for busy professionals with full-time work commitments. Depending on your location, classes meet twice per week in the evenings or all day on Saturday. If you’re able to dedicate a full week to learning, we also have a full-time, accelerated one-week option.

            You’ll be expected to spend time working on homework and projects outside of class each week, but the workload is designed to be manageable with a full-time job.

            If you need to miss a session or two, we offer resources to help you catch up. We recommend you discuss any planned absences with your instructor.
