I collected seven sites of UX/UI courses where you can learn the basics, sharpen your skills, build your portfolio and get a job as a UX designer.

Skillshare

If you want an introduction to UX design before you invest serious money in training, courses on Skillshare are an excellent place to start. The resource focuses on getting you up to speed with UX design or gaining skills with short lessons you can take at your convenience.

There are eight courses available on the site right now. The most popular ones are “Intro to UX: Designing with a User-Centered Approach” (11 lessons in 45 minutes) and “Figma UI IX Design Essentials” (111 classes in 11 hours and 33 minutes).

Udemy

The site offers many courses for UX designers of all levels. Suppose you want to get a general idea of UX design and apply the material you learn in practice. In that case, you should start with UX Expert Joe Natoli’s “User Experience Design Fundamentals” or “UX Strategy Fundamentals” courses for beginners.

I would also suggest looking at the “UX Design College Class taught by a University UX Instructor”. It has a lot of theory that describes the UX design process. The idea is supplemented with resources for practice and tips on how to apply the view in practice. As for practical skills, it’s worth looking for something more specific. For example, if you want to start with Figma immediately, “Figma 2023: The Absolute Beginner to Pro Class in under 2h!”.

Interaction Design Foundation

What I like about this platform is that it offers a course after each lesson you can take if you are interested in a particular topic. In the process, you can adjust your learning plan for further growth.

Beginning UX designers should consider the “User Experience: The Beginner’s Guide”. This course is one of the top 5 most attended on the platform. It will take 6–7 weeks to complete it. You have one week to complete 1 lesson, but you have no deadlines.

You might also be interested in other courses. For example, “How to Create a UX Portfolio” or “Mobile UX Design: The Beginner’s Guide”.

Coursera

The platform has a free course called “Introduction to User Experience Design”. It was developed by the Georgia Institute of Technology and is a simple course on UX design. It’s where many aspiring UX designers start their introduction to the subject.

The entire course takes about 6 hours to complete. Though without the intensive hands-on component, you’ll learn the basics of UX design. So after that, we recommend a more basic course such as “Google UX Design”.

Uxcel

A site where you can develop your UX design skills online daily with interactive courses and assignments. It’s a great starting point, source of information and community to build skills and grow in design.

The main advantage of this learning platform is that you will playfully learn from actual cases. It’s very effective! Where can you start? With “UX Design Foundations” of course.

Udacity

The platform has a “Become a UX Designer” programme. When you complete the course, you’ll be able to create compelling user interfaces for products. You will have a portfolio to help you find your first job. The system is for three months, and you do 10 hours a week. There is a fee for this program.
