Course Overview.
Students will enjoy a mix of lectures and workshop time, where they will get to practice their learnings and apply them to their projects.
Pre-Course Work
Before the bootcamp starts, we will have individual meetings with each incoming student in our studio in Shoreditch to discuss what to expect from the course, the day-to-day structure, your previous experiences, interests and future career goals. We will also give you some pre-course tasks to complete before day one.
Two weeks before the course start date, we will bring everyone involved together for a Meet & Greet, where you’ll get the chance to meet your other coursemates, the instructors, and a studio tour.
We also give you a pre-recorded introduction to Figma and at least one pre-course assignment for you to complete to see your approach and level of knowledge so far.
Month 1: Learning the Foundations
The first month is primarily a wide range of in-depth lessons and workshops that focus on fundamental theory, covering product strategy, user experience and user interface design. This month aims to create a solid foundational skill level for the following two months by going through the essential methods and tools. For further details on the day-to-day modules, please read through our course syllabus.
This month, you will work on three projects, including two live client briefs. You will immediately learn and apply the design-thinking process and creative mindset, focusing on gaining empathy and ideation skills. By interacting with real users, you will learn how to gain feedback through usability testing and presenting your work.
There will also be continuous classes in Figma, an industry-leading design tool, which will also include 1-1 support from our instructors to make sure you get the technical skills right.
Month 2: Implementation
From the second month onwards, the overall approach primarily focuses on the execution and practice of the knowledge gained so far, both on an individual and team basis. Learning about the foundational theory will continue. This month brings in your third real-client project: your 7-week capstone challenge. In this particular month, you will be focusing primarily on user research, competitor analysis, customer development and data synthesis.
This month we will also focus on important elements of job preparation – CV editing, LinkedIn profiles, interview preparation and portfolio design.
You will also have your first individual Figma assignment, based on your industry interests & future goals. There will be continued 1-1 support and goal tracking from our instructional team.
Month 3: Preparation
The final month of the Bootcamp heavily focuses on continuing the end-to-end design process culminating in a presentation in the final week back to your capstone client. We will focus on ideation, wireframing and prototyping, usability testing, and storytelling to bring the final presentation to life. You will have the opportunity to constantly repeat the application of various methods throughout the course, while gaining deeper knowledge as you apply them on to various projects.
Whilst putting the finishing touches to your final project, you will find that everything is starting to come together, considering the scale of the major project that you will be delivering. We will continue to have regular feedback sessions and preparation of the CV, LinkedIn profile, project case studies and portfolio design. We will also take some time away from the project to participate in mock interviews to help with job interviewing down the line.
Post-Course Support
Throughout the course, and following it, we will continue to talk to you through your detailed and personalised feedback. We will aim to understand what industries and roles appeal to you and as such, continue to help you with support and feedback with your portfolio in order to make relevant introductions to the companies that are looking to hire designers just like you.
There will be sessions on employability held in our studio, as well as opportunities to prepare and perfect the CV, portfolio, gain references, ask for recommendations, and more. We will also make introductions to relevant contacts inside the companies that excite you the most.

Mastering User Interface Skills with Figma
The Career Development Bootcamp not only gives you fundamental design processes, tools and methodologies, but also takes you to a job ready level on the industry-leading user interface design tool, Figma. Your journey with Figma will start with pre-course work where you will be set design challenges in order to become familiar with how the tool works.
Starting with user interface (UI) and visual design fundamentals, we will take you from the most basic and introductory Figma features all the way through to the advanced components and high-fidelity wireframing and prototyping.
During the length of the immersive Career Development Bootcamp, you will work on three real client projects, and on each of these, you will be using Figma to design the final interfaces that will be presented back to your clients.
In addition, you will be working on at least one individual Figma assignment, based on your industry interests and future career goals. This individual assignment is based on your personal tastes and interests. You will gain yet another great piece of work that you can eventually add to your portfolio.
Advanced components, micro-transitions, cross-platform Design, auto-layout, variants, and advanced design systems are just some of the key areas we will be covering over the 12 week bootcamp.
