UX UI Designer Training

Lesson 1 • The Human-Centered Design Mindset

Introduces empathy-driven design thinking as the core philosophy. Connects mindset to practical decision-making in every design phase.

Lesson 2 • Accessibility and Inclusive Design Basics

Introduces accessibility standards and inclusive design strategies. Establishes non-negotiable quality criteria applied in every subsequent project.

Lesson 3 • Core Visual Design Principles

Covers fundamental visual principles that underpin all UI work. Students apply these principles to evaluate and improve interface quality.

Lesson 4 • Understanding UX vs. UI Design

Defines UX and UI as distinct yet interdependent disciplines. Establishes vocabulary and mental models used throughout the course.

Lesson 1 • Planning a Research Study

Teaches how to scope research goals, select methods, and recruit participants. Connects research planning to project timelines and stakeholder needs.

Lesson 2 • Quantitative Research and Analytics

Introduces surveys, analytics, and behavioral data as quantitative inputs. Balances qualitative findings with measurable usage patterns.

Lesson 3 • Creating User Personas and Journey Maps

Builds research-backed personas and journey maps as communication tools. These artifacts anchor design decisions to real user needs throughout the project.

Lesson 4 • Qualitative Research Techniques

Covers interviews, contextual inquiry, and diary studies as primary qualitative tools. Students practice moderating and note-taking for rich data collection.

Lesson 1 • Designing Site Maps and Taxonomies

Covers site map creation and content taxonomy development. Provides a blueprint for navigation design in subsequent wireframing work.

Lesson 2 • Principles of Information Architecture

Defines IA components: organization, labeling, navigation, and search. Establishes structural thinking as the backbone of usable products.

Lesson 3 • Navigation Patterns and Wayfinding

Examines global, local, and contextual navigation patterns across platforms. Students select and justify navigation models based on content complexity.

Lesson 1 • Wireframing with Industry Tools

Applies wireframing skills using professional design tools. Students build reusable component libraries and master tool-specific workflows.

Lesson 2 • Sketching and Ideation Techniques

Introduces rapid sketching and ideation methods to generate diverse layout concepts. Builds confidence in low-fidelity communication before digital tools are used.

Lesson 3 • Low-Fidelity Prototyping and Click-Throughs

Connects wireframes into clickable prototypes for early usability testing. Students validate navigation flows before investing in high-fidelity design.

Lesson 4 • Wireframe Fundamentals and Best Practices

Defines wireframe fidelity levels and establishes annotation standards. Students produce clean, readable wireframes that communicate intent without visual noise.

Lesson 1 • Typography for Digital Interfaces

Covers typeface selection, type scales, and readability for screens. Students apply typographic hierarchy to improve content clarity and brand expression.

Lesson 2 • Layout Systems and Responsive Grids

Introduces grid systems, spacing scales, and breakpoint strategies for responsive UI. Students design layouts that adapt gracefully across device sizes.

Lesson 3 • UI Component Design and States

Teaches design of core UI components including buttons, forms, and cards. Students define all interactive states to ensure complete and consistent component behavior.

Lesson 4 • Iconography, Imagery, and Illustration

Defines standards for icons, photography, and illustration in UI contexts. Students evaluate and select visual assets that reinforce usability and brand tone.

Lesson 1 • Patterns, Templates, and Page Layouts

Assembles components into reusable patterns and page templates. Reduces design time and ensures structural consistency across product screens.

Lesson 2 • Design System Documentation and Adoption

Covers writing usage guidelines, do and don't examples, and contribution workflows. Effective documentation drives adoption across design and engineering teams.

Lesson 3 • Anatomy of a Design System

Defines design system layers: tokens, components, patterns, and guidelines. Students understand how each layer contributes to consistency and scalability.

Lesson 4 • Building a Token-Based Foundation

Covers creation of color, typography, spacing, and elevation tokens. Tokens enable systematic theming and seamless handoff to development teams.

Lesson 1 • Advanced Prototyping Techniques

Builds interactive prototypes with conditional logic, variables, and overlays. Students simulate realistic product experiences for stakeholder demos and usability tests.

Lesson 2 • Micro-Interactions and Motion Design

Covers the structure and purpose of micro-interactions and UI animation. Students design motion that communicates state changes without distracting users.

Lesson 3 • High-Fidelity Screen Design

Applies visual design and component systems to produce polished, pixel-ready screens. Students integrate all prior visual skills into cohesive, production-quality UI.

Lesson 4 • Principles of Interaction Design

Establishes interaction design principles: feedback, affordance, and mapping. Students apply these principles to create intuitive and predictable interface behaviors.

Lesson 1 • Iterating Designs Based on Evidence

Applies test findings to prioritize and execute design revisions. Students practice evidence-based iteration cycles that continuously improve product quality.

Lesson 2 • Analyzing and Reporting Findings

Teaches rainbow spreadsheet analysis, severity rating, and findings presentation. Students produce concise reports that drive stakeholder alignment and design action.

Lesson 3 • Moderating and Observing Sessions

Covers moderation techniques for guiding sessions without influencing behavior. Students practice note-taking and observation skills that capture rich behavioral data.

Lesson 4 • Writing Test Plans and Tasks

Teaches how to write test plans, scenario-based tasks, and screeners. Well-crafted tasks produce valid, actionable data that reflects real user behavior.
