The School of UX (Pixel Takeaway Limited) Anmeldelser 

My experience at The School of UX was great! Coming from a design background, I had a strong creative foundation but needed to strengthen my research skills. The course helped me transition from making design decisions based on instinct to focusing on what the users need and backing it up with solid evidence. This has significantly improved my design abilities, and I've recently landed my first UI/UX designer role. I'm incredibly grateful for all the mentors in The School of UX, especially Sergei & Chimmy! :)

I completed the 4-week UX Design Skills Bootcamp in March of this year, after attending the 1-Week UX, UI Design & Prototyping in Figma last summer.
As a complete newbie to the world of not just UX and UI but design in general, I was slightly nervous, but Sergei, Chimmy and the other tutors were patient and helpful to all of us taking the course, whatever our experience. As my background is writing, I particularly enjoyed the UX Writing section, taken by Felice, and am now beginning my own UX Writing personal project.
I would absolutely recommend the School of UX to anyone looking to add to their skillset, or who's thinking of a career change.

The team was fantastic—passionate about UX and highly knowledgeable in their respective fields.

I joined the course to explore UX and UI, and it exceeded my expectations. The curriculum covered a wide range of topics, from copywriting for the web and customer behaviour psychology to an introduction to Figma and brand asset libraries. This broadened my understanding and deepened my interest in digital creativity.

The course was well-organised, and the use of Zoom was seamless. However, it’s called a "Bootcamp" for a reason—the sessions were intense, lasting 5 hours each. I would have preferred splitting the sessions into two, one early in the morning and another later in the afternoon, allowing time to decompress and complete work in between.

Towards the end, there was pressure to complete a portfolio. As a designer, I value thinking time, and the tight deadlines didn’t align with my working style. I would have appreciated ongoing assessments instead of the heavy focus on a final portfolio, which I didn’t finish.

Providing handouts summarising key learnings would have been very helpful, rather than relying on my scribbled notes and numerous screenshots of bullet-pointed slides.

Overall, I enjoyed the course and made some great connections. I hope this feedback is helpful to Sergei and the team at The School of UX.

I took part in this course, and I can’t recommend it enough! As someone who was taking their first steps into the world of UX/UI design, I found the course to be incredibly insightful and well-structured. The content was easy to follow, and it provided me with the foundational skills I needed to feel confident in this field.

What made the experience even better was the support from the teachers. They were always helpful, ready to answer any questions, and provided valuable feedback throughout the course. Their guidance made a huge difference in my learning journey.

Not only did I learn about UX/UI design principles, but I was also able to transfer these skills and inspirations into my own business. It gave me a fresh perspective and new tools to enhance my products and overall customer experience.

Big thanks to the School of UX :)

What a fantastic course! I have learnt so much on UX Design. The teachers are really nice, friendly and helpful. I’d throughly recommend this course.

For anyone who wishes to learn and understand the fundamentals of UX design I really recommend taking part in the School of UX bootcamp. The amount that you will learn will really shape you in to a better UX designer. I have already recommend a few people interested in UX design to take part in their bootcamp.

The School of UX was one of my lucky finds on my career path journey. I learnt so much from all the teachers and enjoyed every activity.

I have left with many skills that I use today and building upon. Highly recommend this boot camp and, am very happy I found it :)

I loved that there were different teachers covering their specialisms rather a single lecturer. I landed my current role because of the portfolio piece I specifically did with The School of UX so I'm very glad I attended this short course (I also worked on this to define it in my spare time post-course).

Highly recommend for juniors or below!

Variety of different teaching styles and briefs.
Had a great experience on the course. You could tell every tutor has their unique methods of teaching due to their specialism and so I got a taste of different areas of UX and got to ask very specific questions. The only thing I would ask is for recording class time to rewatch and understand the steps to different methods.

The tutors are excellent with a wealth of knowledge. The course itself contained all the materials needed to get a overview of UX Design from theory to execution. Overall it boosted my understanding and ability in the area of UX design, that as an career changer is proving extremely useful in making the switch. The only reason it's not receiving a 5 star review is as a career changer with no experience in this area I took the 4 week and I believe the 7 week would've proven better for me.

I had a great experience on the 7-week bootcamp with the School of UX. The tutors are incredibly knowledgeable and have excellent real life experience which is invaluable to be able to share so closely.

The blend of practical and theoretical learning was a great way to solidify what we were learning and as someone with a limited UX background, I was able to keep up with the tasks. The instructors were all very friendly and there to help in anyway they could.

I would definitely recommend this boot camp for anyone considering a career change or looking to improve their UX knowledge.

Thank you to all the instructors!

The bootcamp was a great starting point for my learning journey in the UX field. I come from a data viz and analytics background so I had almost zero design skills. Having said this, I was scared at first that I'll be easily left behind. However, the tutors were great in guiding everyone in the cohort regardless of our skill levels. I've learned exactly what I was expecting to learn and it gave me the resources I needed to get into more in depth study in the future. I would recommend the bootcamp to anyone who's interested.

The course has a good balance of conceptual learning and hands-on practice, which allows me to be able to practice what I have learnt under the support of tutors.

The tutors are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, they never hesitate to feedback and suggest different solutions when I hit the wall, also they encourage individual thoughts and personal growth, which is quite different from any other course I attended before.

They also offer great and efficient career support after completion.

If you are aiming to land a career in UX and have basic knowledge in UX design, I highly recommend taking this bootcamp.

I took 7 7-week UX design course, and it was the best time ever invested. All tutors were great, bringing different expertise to the table. I was running ecommerce website for some years and this course just connected all the dots for me. I can do so many things on my own without spending money on freelancers. Thank you so much for all the School of UX team.

Really good course. Tutors were amazing and the content was great!

Anyone looking to start their career in UX should certainly do this course.

The breadth of experience and knowledge of the tutors was welcome and encouraging. They ensure no one gets left behind. Made things relevant to what businesses expect today.
I think some parts of the course needed more practical parts than listening > ux writing.
Better communication on agenda to help plan the time on the course better.

I've recently completed the UX course offered by The School of UX, and I can confidently say that it has been a great experience.

The course exceeded my expectations from start to finish, providing valuable insights and practical skills that have significantly enhanced my understanding of user experience design.

The curriculum was well-structured, covering many topics essential for anyone looking to excel in UX. What truly sets this course apart is its emphasis on hands-on learning. The instructors masterfully blend theory with real-world applications, ensuring every concept is understood and practised through engaging projects and exercises.

What truly impressed me was the emphasis on real-world projects. The practical assignments challenged me to apply the skills I learned and build a portfolio that showcases my capabilities. This hands-on approach not only boosted my confidence but also made the learning experience immensely enjoyable.

I highly recommend this UX course to anyone looking to delve into the world of user experience design. Whether you are a beginner or seeking to enhance your skills, this course provides a comprehensive and enjoyable learning journey.

I highly recommend the School of UX to anyone ready to make their career change to UX. I learnt so much in a short space of time from highly experienced UX professionals.

Sergei and his team of tutors were extremely knowledgeable and supported us to get stuck in - doing UX right from the beginning of the course (as someone who learns better by doing, this was very much appreciated).

I didn't feel any limitations with learning through live online classes, everything was well organised and catered for. Feedback was acted on too.

We were able to network with other classmates, and received valuable career advice too.

I was actually sad when the course ended, as I enjoyed it so much! Thank you Sergei and team.

When I registered for the government-funded boot camp, I did not have high hopes. I think it would probably be like another course from YouTube, Coursera, or Udemy, etc...
However, its course structure and high deliverables impressed me. All tutors are really helpful and willing to tell the industrial latest technology and provide extra resources and guidance if you are interested in specific topics.
I was also impressed by Sergei's effort in answering student's questions. Even one of the classmates drills into accessibility for every topic, and the teacher still trying to explain the industrial limitation and the potential point that we needed to be alert on accessibility. (I am not anti-accessibility, but if we cater everything into accessibility first and neglect the fundamental function, that's another lack of consideration for the whole design process.)
I just sent my portfolio draft to Sergei, and he replied to me with a page-long comment. I believe that's hard to find some boot camp like this in London.

Excellent course with fantastic tutors, good structure and generous resources. I have just completed the 7 week UX bootcamp and could not be happier with the experience. The whole course is engineered to kick-start your career in UX/UI - it covers theory and practical exercise that are intended to get your portfolio ready for recruitment. If, like me, you are sceptical about this being a fully funded course, you needn't worry - the quality of the teaching is top notch and the candidates on my cohort all took the course seriously and put maximum effort in too. Highly recommend.
