UX Design (User Experience): 5 Day Summer Bootcamp

This course is focused on the process of designing a digital product from a brief all the way to launch. These include clarifying user groups, creating user journeys, choosing the right features, understanding competitors and how to design an outstanding user interface.

Yes it does. User Research, Analysis and User Journey are part of the user experience (UX) process and there are Figma workshops (Figma is an industry-leading wireframing and prototyping software) that go through creating digital wireframes, adding details to these and prototyping so that you can show your work to clients.

You can expect 1-2 hours of homework each evening as you work on your client project throughout the week. The more you can put into the course, the more you can take away from it.

Yes, in the morning on the first day, you will be presented a real design challenge from a client who runs a local business. This course is designed to have you work on a real project. At the end of the course you will present your work, process and findings back to this client.

No, this course is open to anyone who is between 16-19 years old. Whilst some of our students have studied (or perhaps worked) in design-related fields, many have very little experience.

No, contrary to popular belief you do not need to know how to code in order to become a User Experience Designer. Whilst it used to help with rapid prototyping, improvements in design software mean that this is no longer the case. So, whilst is important that you understand technology and are able to communicate with developers effectively, most designers cannot (and do not) actually code.

No, software development is not part of this course. On some parts of the course, we explain what different code languages mean, what is technically feasible and how is best to communicate and handoff your designs to developer teams.

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 course date you’d like to do. You can book in a quick call with our team to discuss your objectives, previous experience and how we might best support you during your time with us.

Courses like this are a fantastic way of getting the ball rolling and getting up-to-speed quickly, conveniently and cost-effectively. Employers will really like the fact that you have done this learning and may look at bringing you in for work experience, internship, apprenticeship or even a junior role.

Yes, you will probably need to develop a portfolio if you are thinking about moving into a design career. We will discuss case studies and portfolios so that you work on creating one – with support from us as part of our lifelong mentoring service.

Courses can be taken with standard Windows PC or Apple hardware. We recommend bringing a laptop with you. The only programs that you will almost definitely need to use at some stage are Figma (the main design program we teach), and a collaboration tool like Figjam, Mural or Miro. All of this software can be run through your internet browser with no need to download their desktop applications unless you want to work offline. Many other programs are discussed throughout our courses, but none are essential.

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!

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.
