Academy Xi: Our story

User Experience (UX) Design is a human-centred approach to designing digital products. It focuses on how a person feels when they’re using a digital product or service, like an app or a website. UX Designers place the user at the centre of the development process to ensure the product is easy and intuitive to use. They go through cycles of research, testing, and refinement until they reach a final product that is user-friendly and profitable for the business who created it.

User Interface (UI) Design focuses on the look, feel, and interactivity of digital products or services. UI Design defines all visual elements that users interact or navigate with, such as buttons, scrollbars, dropdown menus, icons, and more. UI Designers consider the layout, grids, typography, and colour of each feature

on screen. They also focus on the interactivity of the interface, such as what a button or an icon does when a user clicks, taps, or swipes it.

UX and UI Designers possess different but complementary skills. They often work closely together to create effective design solutions. To provide you with a greater understanding of the end-to-end design workflow and stronger employment opportunities, we’ve included additional UI modules in this course.

Why choose this course?

Every time you use a digital product, your experience of it and the impression it leaves is the result of “good” or “poor” UX and UI Design. Knowing that one in three consumers will walk away from a brand they love after just one bad experience (PwC, The Future of CX), it’s clear that UX and UI Design have the potential to directly impact a company’s bottom line.

This course is for you if you want to complement your existing professional expertise and boost your career with in-demand skills in UX, UI, design thinking and human-centred processes.

You’ll explore all key UX concepts and get an introduction to UI, in order to design high-quality digital products or services that align with customers’ needs. As the best way to learn is by doing, you’ll gain hands-on experience, working on various activities. You’ll also build your portfolio to demonstrate your practical skills to a current or future employer.

This self-paced online course is perfect for independent learners who want a fully flexible course and enjoy learning at their own pace, from the comfort of their home... the local cafe... or the beach…
