Course Description

Here's what students have said:
"This course is the most valuable UX course I've ever bought on Udemy!" - Jody T.

"Brendan's course is AMAZING! It helped me land my first UX job!" - Phillip C.

"First course, which I found useful from practical point of view. Not just some broad, abstract philosophical narrative about UX." - Viacheslav M.

"Great instructor! He's able to deconstruct complex ideas and easily break them down into digestible content. I really recommend this course for UX practitioners of all levels." - Nutte

"After viewing Brendan's lectures and completing the project, I felt much more confident about entering the field of UX and my project ended up being one of the best pieces in my portfolio. I used it during an interview to land my first internship" - Ana K.

"The instructor's enthusiasm shines through as does his deep UX knowledge and real life experience. Certainly one of the most thoroughly thought out and well presented courses I have experienced on Udemy.

Description:
User Experience, or UX, is an exciting field. It's essentially about empowering people to do the things they want to do, which is both fun and gratifying. And, having a great user experience drives business success.

Learning UX, however, can be a challenge. Since it's a relatively young field, there's no real gold standard yet for how things are practiced, or taught, which can frustrate people who are just trying to learn things the right way, in order to apply UX immediately to what they're doing, as well as students looking to become practitioners.
I created this course because I believe your time is precious, and you shouldn't have to hunt around to get a practical foundation in UX. Or watch 24 hours of videos. This course takes you through the key concepts and steps of UX, as they would occur across a real-world project, so you gain a complete understanding of how to practice UX - from Research, to Strategy, to Design. And the confidence that comes with these new skills.
There's a fair bit of material to share, but the content is mostly short, entertaining, to-the-point videos, followed by assignments where you'll apply what you're learning so it sinks in. And, I'm confident you'll like this material because I've already taught it to Thousands of professionals and university students who have enjoyed and benefited from it.
Whether you need to effectively learn UX and apply it immediately, or you're looking to supplement your skillset, or you're just curious about entering this fun and lucrative field, this course is designed for you
After taking the course you'll possess a powerful understanding of UX and the key activities related to the field. You'll also be able to take that knowledge, and put it to use to make better work and advance your career! (And, you'll have some great portfolio pieces if you complete the assignments!)
See you in class!

- BrendanWho this course is for:
  • People who want to enter the UX field and become practitioners
  • Professionals who want or need to add UX to their skill set
  • Anyone at an agency or company who needs to quickly learn real-world UX fundamentals you can use on the job

Very complete and coherent. It covers and details all aspects very clearly. You can start from scratch and get good knowledge of the discipline, including advice on career plan and how to prepare a decent portfolio, or even where to look for positions. Ideal if you want to change careers (like me) or if you want to advance in the one you have.

By Brandon Brown

Good overview of content and explanations of his terms. Content would be good for beginners and review doesn't hurt veterans.

By Erik

Very valuable course, it's always good to get knowledge from someone who is a real expert in the field with a lot of hands-on experience. But apart from that Brendan is very committed to delivering the information in a nice interactive manner. Thanks for the course!

By Pablo MacHin Prats

Great Course, I'd highly recommend it. Good content, easy to understand.

I will use this content for sure everytime in need to plan a new project. Thanks a lot!

By Daniel Flores Ferrusco

Siento que comenzó mi básico

By Ahmed Mohsen

As a conclusion i think it's fine as a material, but needs to improve in the slides design trends, and putting some infographics, may be the voice get better is fine,

As an Ui designer i think making a visual index to follow in your documents is a good idea,

thank you

By Aaron Mathews Oommen

Brendan is a great teacher. And this course will be my guide about how to do well in UX career. Thanks Brendan and Udemy for this wonderful course.

By Francesca Cignola

the content has been really good but I posted some questions a couple of weeks ago and have not received any response yet

By Victor

I am always open to learning and evolving. As an Industrial Designer I have worked with UX designers in the past and have seen their work but never truly dove in much deeper than that.

I have seen YouTube videos on UX (which is also where I first saw the Udemy ad) but I would prefer to be a blank slate and be taught from scratch sometimes. This course is well underway to doing that.

By Darren Bartholomew
