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 program of 4, instructor-led, workshops, you'll discover how to plan and moderate a usability test of your own product, analyse the data and generate design insights to share with the development team.
You'll spend at least 2 hours actually taking part in usability tests. This will ensure you obtain the practical moderation skills that you can't get from reading books or blog posts.
Class sizes are small and delivered live via Zoom. Combined with practice projects, this helps you build skills, confidence and expertise in usability testing.
Through real-time presentations, quizzes and interactive activities, you'll learn the theory of usability testing and practice usability test moderation.
