Our friends at UX Gym are hosting this UX Crash Course workshop in both Auckland and Wellington.
Get hands-on experience of a human-centred approach to UX design in this intensive one-day course. This course gives you a solid grounding in the principles and theories behind a modern, user-centred design process and practical experience taking a UX project from initial research to design to usability testing.
This is an experiential course. You learn by doing. Our teaching methodology is built on giving you three building blocks for everything we cover:
You get the foundational theory behind the methods you learn – why we work the way we do. This is to give you a basis for further study or self-development and helps you judge how appropriate any method is for a given challenge, enabling you to alter a method as required or to develop your own methods as needed.
You get common design methods that make up a typical human-centred design process. These are practical ways of working that you can take away and start applying immediately.
You apply the principles and methods you learn on a project. This practical component is essential in making sure you can apply what you learn in the course to real life human behaviour and design problems.
On completing the course you will:
In addition you receive:
All materials are provided. This course is process focused, not tool focused, so you don’t need to bring a laptop or other device, although you are welcome to do so if you wish. All you need to bring is your attention and enthusiasm!
