As well as a renewed co-funding subsidy on UX Tree mentorship programme for the Institute of Designers Ireland (IDI) Members, we are offering 2 subsidised places on their UX Mastery course: From Basic to Mentorship starting on March 15th, 2024.
The course is a unique blend of bootcamp intensity and personalised mentorship, designed for individuals embarking on or shifting to a UX career.
This programme is more than just a course; it’s a transformative experience – students will receive continuous guidance from experienced mentors throughout the course. And it’s CPD (UK) Approved – ISO Management Systems Certified!
The UX Tree Mastery course isn’t just about learning the basics; it goes much deeper.
You’ll dive into topics like:
- understanding what users need,
- creating blueprints for website designs,
- learning how to make digital interactions enjoyable and easy to use,
- learning key skills in managing projects and working effectively with other people in your team.
What makes the UX Tree Mastery course special is the unique mentorship experience it offers. These mentorship meetings are a chance for you to:
- talk about your assignments,
- get valuable feedback,
- ask any questions you might have.
Mentorship is like having a guide by your side as you navigate through new territory. It’s about learning from someone who’s been there, getting practical advice, and receiving support through challenges. Working with a mentor means you’re not just learning from books or lectures – you’re learning from real people with real-world experience.
