Short course - Skills Bootcamp in UX/UI Design

Almost all providers of goods and services now rely heavily on customers and subscribers making use of a digital interface for interaction at all points of contact. The quality of the consumer journey and the capacity to navigate complex systems through clear design planning are paramount in ensuring user satisfaction.
Brand credentials and market performance can be impacted positively or adversely through poor, or inconsistent, user experience (UX) and/or user interface (UI) design decisions as a consequence of raised expectations from consumers.
The UX/UI Bootcamp course will provide the context for planning, making, implementing, and reviewing design decisions, all of which are key skills in producing highly usable working solutions.
