Every question, answered directly.

The questions we hear most from students, career switchers and working professionals — answered plainly. Still unsure? Ask a human: info@agiledesignschool.com

What is the difference between UI and UX design?
UX (User Experience) design focuses on how a product works and feels to use — research, flows and usability — while UI (User Interface) design focuses on how a product looks: layout, typography and visual style. Most professional roles expect both, which is why Agile Design School teaches UX and UI together rather than as separate skills.
Which UI/UX design course is best for a fresher with no design background?
A structured, portfolio-based UX/UI foundations programme is best for freshers. The Professional Certificate in UX/UI Design at Agile Design School is built for beginners and career switchers, taking you from research fundamentals to a job-ready, jury-reviewed portfolio in 4–6 months.
Is UX/UI design a good career option in 2026?
Yes. UX/UI design remains one of the most in-demand digital careers in 2026 as fintech, SaaS, healthcare and e-commerce companies continue investing in user experience. Demand is strongest for designers who can show research-backed portfolio work — the core focus of every Agile Design School programme.
Do I need to know coding to learn UX/UI design?
No. Design tools like Figma, along with design thinking, research methods and prototyping, are the real foundation of the field. Coding knowledge can help later for developer handoff but is not a prerequisite to enrol.
What is the salary of a UX/UI designer in India?
Entry-level UX/UI designers in India typically start between ₹3–6 LPA, mid-level designers earn approximately ₹8–14 LPA, and senior product designers or design leads can earn ₹15–30 LPA or more. Salary is driven heavily by portfolio strength and the ability to explain design decisions — which is why Agile Design School uses portfolio and jury-based evaluation.
How long does it take to become a UX/UI designer?
Most learners become job-ready within 4 to 6 months through a focused evening/weekend programme that includes real projects and portfolio review. The Professional Certificate is structured for exactly this timeline, with the option to continue into the 11-month PG Programme.
What is the difference between a certificate course and the PG Programme?
A certificate course (4–6 months) gets you job-ready for entry-level UX/UI roles quickly. The PG Programme (11 months) is built for depth — research, UI, product strategy and design leadership — for learners who want a comprehensive, senior-track credential.
Can working professionals learn UX/UI design without quitting their job?
Yes. Agile Design School offers evening, weekend and blended schedules specifically designed for working professionals, and admissions counselling maps your schedule and profile to the right course format.
Are Agile Design School classes online or offline?
Both. Live online cohorts run across India, with optional in-person studio sessions at the Hyderabad campus in Yousufguda and blended schedules for working professionals.
How big are the batches?
Cohorts are kept small so live critique works — every learner presents and receives mentor feedback weekly.
What tools will I learn?
Figma is the primary tool, alongside FigJam, Miro, testing tools and responsible use of AI assistants. Tools are taught in service of process, never in isolation.
Are there EMI options for fees?
Yes. EMI plans are available through partner finance providers and are explained transparently during admissions counselling — no hidden charges.
Do you offer scholarships?
Merit and need-based fee support is available on select cohorts; ask during counselling.
What is the refund policy?
A full refund window applies at the start of every cohort, with a transparent pro-rated schedule after — see the Refund Policy page for exact timelines.
Is the certificate verifiable by employers?
Yes. Every certificate carries a unique verification ID, and assessment rubrics are public, so employers can check both authenticity and what the credential actually assessed.
Can I visit the campus before joining?
Yes — visits are by appointment at the Yousufguda, Hyderabad studio, and you can sit in on a live class if timings align.
What is the demo class?
A free, live 45-minute studio session where you meet a mentor, watch a real critique, and ask anything about curriculum, batches and fees — before paying anything.
Who teaches the programmes?
Practising designers, researchers and design leaders from product companies — the same people who review your portfolio the way a hiring panel would.
Do you help with jobs after the course?
Yes — portfolio reviews, resume and LinkedIn preparation, mock interviews and alumni referrals are built into every track, with hiring-focused showcases after graduation.
Can students from outside Hyderabad join?
Yes. Live online cohorts serve learners across India and nearby time zones; career support works for remote and metro roles alike.
