The profession of user experience design has become increasingly differentiated over the past two decades. In today’s digital age, companies are constantly seeking innovative ways to improve their customers’ online experiences. This is where User Experience (UX) Designers come in – the masterminds behind creating user-friendly, intuitive, and engaging digital products. Good user experience designers should be able to understand their target groups, develop a product strategy, define requirements and create user stories, develop information architecture, navigation, and user flows, implement and test interaction designs as prototypes, and refine visual design. In this intensive guided e-learning course, you will learn to do all this with the support of a personal mentor so that you can then develop innovative, successful, and user-friendly digital products that satisfy users and customers.
This online course will enable you to successfully design websites, mobile apps, and software with an excellent user experience. You will learn best practices in user experience design to create innovative, intelligent, and useful products.

In addition, you will learn how to collaborate in an agile environment to increase confidence when launching products.
