Curriculum
What you will learn, stage by stage
Stage 1 · Research Foundations
User interviews, problem framing, personas and journeys — how top teams uncover real user problems before a single screen is designed.
Stage 2 · Structure & Flows
Information architecture, user flows and wireframing — turning research into product structure.
Stage 3 · UI Craft
Typography, colour, layout, components and Figma fluency — interface quality that survives inspection.
Stage 4 · Usability & Iteration
Prototyping and moderated usability testing with real users; evidence-led iteration.
Stage 5 · Client-Style Brief
A real brief with real constraints — scoped, executed and presented the way agencies and product teams work.
Stage 6 · Portfolio & Jury
3–5 case studies, one-on-one portfolio mentorship, and a final live jury review with interview preparation.
Why this programme
Three reasons learners choose it
Live studio, not videos
Every week you make something, get critiqued, and improve — the discipline recorded courses can't give.
Real users in every project
Interviews and usability tests with actual participants, so your portfolio survives interview questioning.
Career track built in
Portfolio reviews, resume and LinkedIn prep and mock interviews run alongside the curriculum.

Certification & FAQ
A certificate that means something when someone checks it.
You're assessed on real project work and a final portfolio jury — not attendance. Every graduate receives a certificate with a unique, verifiable ID. Assessment rubrics are public.
I have zero design background. Can I still join?
Yes. This programme is built to take you from zero design experience to a job-ready portfolio — Stage 1 assumes no prior knowledge, and roughly 60% of learners come from non-design fields.
How often do new batches start?
Every 15 days, alternating weekday-evening and weekend cohorts — you're never more than two weeks from a start date. The next four dates are listed above.
How many hours a week do I need?
Plan for 8–12 hours including live sessions and project work. Evening and weekend scheduling exists precisely so working professionals can manage it.
What if I miss a live session?
Sessions are recorded for revisit, but the real value — live critique and mentor Q&A — happens in real time; batch timings are chosen to make attendance realistic.
Are there EMI options or scholarships?
Yes. EMI plans run from partner finance providers, and the Scholarship Entrance Test offers score-based discounts up to 30% — both explained transparently at counselling.
Will you help me get a job after the course?
Career support runs alongside the curriculum: portfolio reviews, resume and LinkedIn preparation, mock interviews and alumni referrals — and your final jury doubles as a hiring showcase.
What laptop or software do I need?
Any laptop that runs Figma smoothly in a browser (8GB RAM recommended). The free Figma tier covers the whole programme; there are no hidden software costs.
How is the certificate verified?
You're assessed on real project work and a final portfolio jury — not attendance. Every certificate carries a unique ID employers can verify, and rubrics are public.
The only way to know if this is right for you is to sit in on a class.
No pressure, no hard sell — a live 45-minute session where you meet a mentor, see how a critique actually works, and ask every question about the curriculum, the batch, and your own starting point.
