Description

UX hiring managers do not evaluate certificates. They evaluate case studies: can you show research you conducted, decisions you made because of it, prototypes you tested, and what changed when real users touched your work? Self-paced courses leave you with tutorial screenshots. The UX Design Certificate is six months of live, instructor-led training built around producing the real thing: a complete UX case study developed from research through final prototype, with a working practitioner critiquing your work in every session.

The curriculum follows the actual UX process from end to end: user research, interviews, and journey mapping, then visual and interaction design, wireframing and prototyping in Figma, design systems and accessibility, UX writing, HTML and CSS fundamentals for working with engineers, and the AI tools now standard in professional design workflows. Every session is live on Zoom with an average of five students per instructor, and the program concludes with a Capstone case study presented live with structured critique.

  • 66 live, instructor-led sessions via Zoom (198 hours)

Overview

Live Online UX Design Training in User Research, Figma Prototyping, and Usability Testing

The UX Design Certificate is a six month, live online program for career changers, graphic designers adding research and systems skills, and marketing professionals who work alongside product teams. The curriculum runs six modules that follow the real UX process: an introduction to UX with research, personas, and wireframing in Figma; design fundamentals covering typography, color, responsive design, and accessibility; digital project design with design systems, UX writing, and AI content tools; ways of work covering stakeholders, agile processes, and storytelling; advanced topics including HTML, CSS, and AI in design; and a final module dedicated to portfolios and a live Capstone case study presentation.

Sessions meet three times a week in the evenings, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 5:00pm to 8:00pm Mountain Time, for nine hours of live instruction weekly and 198 total class hours across approximately six months, including scheduled breaks. Students should plan a total weekly commitment of eleven to thirteen hours including research assignments and project work, and evening scheduling keeps the program workable alongside a job or an active job search.

Cohorts begin in January, April, July, and October. Enrollment requires a meeting with a student advisor and an approved program application. The program is eligible for WIOA and DVR funding, Climb Credit financing, and DWC scholarships. Contact DWC to speak with an admissions advisor.
