By Bianca Henriksen on 1/14/2025

I found him to be lacking in enthusiasm and reading from a script on his screen which reduces the impact of what he is talking about. I also found his example of Gaia a bit odd when there is a wealth of alternative ways to showcase the intricacies of a design sprint and the thinking around it. I do believe I learnt a few things, but there was some content I think could've been excluded and other content which is important that was missing.

By Hazal on 11/22/2024

I started the course with very limited knowledge about UI/UX. Now I can say I am pretty familiar with the concept of each and aware of some impactful names mentioned throughout the course that have left a mark in the field along with essential details that will effectively matter later when working on a project. I recommend this course for anyone who wants to start with the UI/UX study journey.

By Mamata Priyadarshini Mishra on 10/28/2024

It's very basic, and only theoretical knowledge. Not much helpful for me

By Janyarat Walters on 12/6/2023

First time for me to watched this kind of online course bc I'm looking to start the new career. Anyway this video was good and bored in the same time. Better to look for good one after this.

By Krzysztof Jasionek on 10/31/2023

Great course! Thank you very much for all the knowledge! It's very long course and there is a lot of homework to do but I feel like now I know more than something

The course is divided into small parts, followed by a project to complete - and every time you complete it, you will realize that you have already acquired a new skill!

By Stefan Ritchie on 6/6/2023

As someone like me a complete beginner this course really helped me understand exactly what it was that I was getting in to. Nicolas comes across calm, approachable and very knowledgeable in ux design and all without making it feel complicated. I hope there is a follow up course to dive deeper into the UX design world.

By Daniel Gonçalvez on 6/2/2023

I found this course very good and specific. It's really a good introduction to the UX design world and it was important to understand all those concept before trying to jump into something more practical

By Dimitry Karpenko on 5/11/2023

This course was a great way to get introduced to UX design practices. The course is primarily theory-based, which helps build a strong foundation and understand the user experience ecosystem. However, there are also practical demonstrations by the instructor that allow for a deeper dive into the subject. I highly recommend it for people who want to get started in the field.
