Best of both worlds.
The course will give you not only the depth, the substance and rigour of the academic qualification, but also the design ‘workshop’ vibe you can get from less formal courses. We fit ourselves in the middle of something that’s fun, collaborative, creative, workshop orientated, but very thorough as well.
Double Diamond Process.
The course is centered around the double diamond process which was created by the British Design Council. As you work through the course, you’ll be taking these different methods and tools and applying them to your project, with the help of your instructor.
Learning the tools, and the mindset.
You will learn all the essential things you need to know as a Service Designer like system thinking, relationship mapping, how to project plan, how to prioritise, and more. You will learn the tools but also the mindset of being a service designer.
Our alumni have gone on to join some of the most exciting, biggest and best names across various industries.
Learn by Doing.
A comprehensive course covering multiple research tactics, workshop facilitation, design thinking, system mapping, journey mapping, stakeholder management, ideation, rapid prototyping, service blueprints, and more - all of which come together to play an important role in making successful service design decisions.
Students will enjoy a mix of lectures and collaborative workshop time, where they will get to practice learnings immediately and apply them to a live, real-life project with engaged stakeholders. A series of online tools will be used to apply the learnings and capture key insights.
The course is conducted in-person in our studio in Shoreditch. Classes are live, and held twice a week (from 6:30pm-8:30pm London time) either on Monday and Wednesday evenings, or Tuesday and Thursday evenings, depending on your chosen start date.

FAQ
You have questions? We have the answers.
Despite the demand for Service Designers is growing, this doesn’t mean it will be easy to immediately land a job. Like all design fields, it is extremely important to get hands on experience. This can be done either by joining a course, or even by developing your own design challenges. A good task to set yourself is tore-design a service that really frustrates you. With an increasingly competitive market, it’s important that you stand out from the crowd and maximise your chances of success. At Experience Haus you can book in a 1:1 call with one of our instructors to discuss our course in more detail, and how it might help you on your Service Design journey.
No, our courses are open to anyone. Whilst some of our students have studied or worked in design-related fields, many have very little experience (if any). We’ve had everyone from very senior industrial and digital designers with over 10 years’ experience to paramedics, lawyers, police and coffee shop baristas!
This changes from time to time during the course but at least 2 hours minimum to up to 6 hours maximum during the week.
Yes, during the course you will be assigned to an actual client to work on a real project and at the end you will be presenting this work to your client.
We offer three payment options for all of our courses. You can pay in full and save 10% off the regular price; you can spread the cost by paying in 3 instalments taken during the course; or you can apply for an interest-free loan through our finance partner, Knoma.
If you have taken any courses with us before, you will save 20% off the regular price.
There isn’t one! To secure your space on a course all you have to do is book via our website or by contacting enrol@experiencehaus.com and telling us which programme you’d like to do. For those doing our larger courses, you’ll then get the chance to speak with one of our instructors and talk through your objectives, previous experience and how we might best support you during your time with us.
We primarily use Figma because it is one of the most intuitive, collaborative and inclusive prototyping and design programs available. Students can easily share their work and co-create on the same canvases through their web browser in real-time, without needing to download an application and suffer compatibility issues. Figma is also fast-becoming the industry standard and norm – although this changes quickly!
Purchases are non-refundable, except at the discretion of Experience Haus Ltd. Typically, cancellations or refund requests received 14 days prior to the start of a course or workshop will be honoured. However, due to the complex nature of the service being provided this cannot be guaranteed, and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. This policy does not include deposits, all of which are non-refundable.
Provided you give us enough notice, we are happy for you to change courses once you’ve booked.
All students receive a Haus course completion certificate at the end of the course. The course is recognised in regards to Experience Haus being an industry recognised brand.
No – the briefs are selected to help you apply your learnings in the best way and create a great portfolio piece. We cannot change the brief that has been selected for you as we want this to be as real life as possible, where you don’t always choose what you work on and would need to deliver the project regardless of personal preference.
