Strong UI/UX designers are still scarce in tech markets globally. The hiring bar is portfolio-driven, not credentials-driven, which suits career-switchers and self-taught talent. 10 weeks of focused work can produce a portfolio that lands first jobs.
A senior counsellor will help match the right tech track to your target destination and field of study.
UI/UX gives you the most creative latitude of any tech role. Cohort members who come from non-tech backgrounds (literature, fine arts, architecture) often find this the most fulfilling track.
Strong UI/UX designers are scarce everywhere. UK and USA pay the most, Germany has steady demand at automotive and B2B SaaS companies, Canada is mid-tier but family-friendly migration adds appeal.
UI/UX hiring is portfolio-driven. A strong portfolio of 4-6 case studies beats a fine arts degree most of the time. The 10-week curriculum is specifically designed to produce that portfolio.
Each phase produces a real artifact. By the end you have a portfolio you can show on LinkedIn and GitHub, not just certificates.
Visual hierarchy, typography, colour theory, gestalt principles. Why designs work or fail at the most basic level. Foundation skills that 80% of self-taught designers skip.
User interviews, persona development, information architecture. Card sorting, journey mapping. The thinking work that comes before pixels. Strong portfolios always show this.
Auto-layout, components, variants, design tokens, plugins. Build a complete design system from scratch. By end of week 6, you can recreate any major app interface in Figma in under 4 hours.
Interactive prototypes in Figma, micro-interactions, motion design basics. Developer handoff specs. Working with engineering teams: how to communicate design decisions.
4 case studies written up: app redesign, dashboard design, e-commerce flow, design system. Each as a portfolio-ready Notion / Behance / Dribbble case study. Mock design review interviews.
