What you’ll learn & build
A structured, project-based UX/UI curriculum taught live in CET/CEST—designed for learners in Italy who want to build confident design skills and portfolio-ready case studies in 12 weeks (full-time) or 24 weeks (part-time).
Foundation
User research methods, interpreting insights, personas, and problem framing
Method
Competitor analysis, ideation, value proposition, plus Agile and Lean workflows
Theory
Figma prototyping, typography & color, Gestalt principles, and responsive interface patterns
Technical
Information architecture, user flows, accessibility basics, and handoff-ready documentation
Our Methodology
Online Live Learning
- Join interactive live sessions where you learn directly with instructors and peers in real time. For the Italy site, cohort schedules and support are aligned to Rome time (CET/CEST) whenever possible.
Self Study
- Part-time: 9 hours live learning + 11 hours guided/self-study (20 hours per week)
- Full-time: 22.5 hours live learning + 17.5 hours guided/self-study (40 hours per week)
Flipped Classroom Method
- You’ll learn actively: prepare with curated materials, then use live time for practice, feedback, and problem-solving—so concepts stick and skills become usable.
Guided Practice
- Practice is built in. You’ll work on hands-on exercises and portfolio projects with guidance, code/design reviews, and clear checkpoints—so you graduate with work you can show, not just topics you’ve “covered.”
