How do you choose the right UX course when there are thousands available online? Looking for some guidance.
Hi everyone,
Last year, I took a certification course in user experience design and development at OCAD University, thanks to a 50% scholarship. To be frank, I don't have a substantial portfolio to show for it. My coursework was primarily a PowerPoint presentation, and despite using it, I haven’t secured a single interview. The course focused a lot on UX history and lacked practical applications.
I am a multimedia designer eager to transition into product design. In my last position, I applied what I learned from my certification to redesign our website, but I didn't have the chance to work with a UX team. I've been looking for volunteer opportunities to build my portfolio, but without tangible design work to showcase, it's been challenging to find someone willing to take a chance on me.
Given that I was recently laid off, I’m contemplating investing my savings into another program that is recognized by employers and can help me build a solid portfolio in both Canada and the US. I’m neurodivergent, so I’m seeking programs that are less than six months long, as that’s the timeframe I can fully commit to.
Can someone please recommend some reputable schools or programs? 🙏
I have heard that BRAIN STATION and general assembly are not that great. There are some good quality BootcampS, but there are so many and I’m not sure which course material is actually going to help me in real life, especially when employers are asking for Figma none of these courses taught me FIGMA.
