Flex course
UI/UX designer
UX/UI designers lay out websites and apps users find intuitive both and aesthetically appealing. They also strip away existing flows, analyze them, rework and validate new designs with data.
Study with our support, but per your own schedule — whenever you find the time.
Relevant background isn't a prerequisite here. Stay adamant, and you'll break into tech in no time!
We have a single goal: to get you employed. That's why 80% of the course is devoted to practice.
Mentors support you in learning new topics, review assignments, point out mistakes and suggest ways to correct them.
Your peers will go on to work for many international companies. They'll be the foundation of your global industry network.
2-4 lessons per week where you'll practice speaking, acquire tech vocabulary and improve grammar.
