We can bring this training course to you and run it live via Zoom no matter where you are. Virtual UX training allows you to train distributed teams, furloughed workers or when your organisation is social distancing.
In this structured online program of instructor-led workshops, you'll practise the skills you need to influence your organisation at a strategic level. You’ll discover how to better communicate your own, and your group’s, value add.
Delivered live via Zoom and Google Classroom, you'll complete 7 project activities designed to take your user research skills to the next level.
To help you improve your impact, this course goes way beyond superficial tips and tricks for running user research sessions. Instead, it shows you how to pinpoint your own strengths and areas for improvement in user research — as well as those of your team and your organisation, so you can deliver your research work more effectively.
