FAQ

You have questions? We have the answers.

User interface design is required where the human and device has an interaction / touchpoint. This can be on desktop, mobile, house appliance or anywhere else!

We have designed this course for people who would like to focus solely on User Interface design, meaning it would include UI and Visual Design theory modules, examination of best User Interface Practices and intense Figma Practices to execute them.

Considering the nature of User Interface Design and learning tool, the more practice you make will bring better results. We are aware of your existing workload so homework 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 two payment options for all of our UI design course. You can pay in full and save 10% off the regular price; or you can spread the cost by paying 3 instalments taken during the course, via direct debit.

If you have taken any courses with us before, you will save 20% off the regular price.

Where this isn’t a complete beginners course, we do suggest having some working knowledge of Figma before enrolling eg. the ability to create a basic wireframe and/or prototype. The course is designed to take your existing skills to the next level.

We don’t need you or ask you to write any development code. Only on some parts of the course, we explain what the different code languages mean, how to check feasibility, and how it’s best to communicate with developers.

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.

Yes, you will most likely want to to develop a portfolio. If you are doing our full-time Career Development Program then this will be completed as part of the curriculum, but if taking a part-time course then it will need to be done afterwards in your own time – with support from us as part of our lifelong mentoring service. During this course you will work on two projects to add to your portfolio: your group assignment (which will be a project with a real client) and your individual assignment, based on your interests and skillset.

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! In addition to Figma, we cover useful resources and how to use them to make the most out of UI with Figma!

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.
