What our students say
"Great intensive course! Good balance between theory lessons and projects. The small group is perfect to get personal assistance and resolving any doubt. The teachers are very good at adjusting their lessons to students' backgrounds and skills. Also, there are enough projects and content to put a portfolio together at the end of the Bootcamp."
"Studying process was very intense and full of knowledge. I think it exceeded all my expectations. Our professional teachers touched every possible topic during 9 weeks of a boot camp. They introduced us to the world of UX/UI, different platforms, tools and motivation videos. Our days were not like routine learning in a boring school, on the contrary, it was fun, easy and educational."
"The course was a lot of fun to do! Absolutely worth it if you are looking to experience and learn UI/UX design. Instead of spending too much time on theory we jumped right on getting practical. Marina Tudela is friendly and explains everything very clear. She teaches you how to really get inside the head of the user/customer. Muchissimas gracias Marina!"

Why UX
In today’s digital world people’s experiences have become a crucial aspect for every product, company or organization. The transversality of the UX field affects all areas of business as well as the technology and its development.
This bootcamp will help you know your users better, design products that are truly functional and that people love, learn the proper design process and provide designs for real life problems.
But I don’t know anything about UX...
Our course is prepared for people with no previous experience in UX Design. Previous experience with related fields such as project or product management, visual or graphic design, development and QA will help you to better understand the industry, but it’s also ok if you want to start from scratch.
Our instructors will not just teach you all the methodologies but also mentor you through the process of becoming a UX designer. With small groups and best students/teachers ratio, you will have a personalized approach for helping you to succeed. All you need to have is a laptop and a strong desire to become a UX designer.
The rest is our job.
What if I already know something about design?
That’s great! Traditional Design skills (Graphic, Editorial, Digital…) are extremely useful for UX Designers. That will help you establish yourself in a higher seniority level once you finish the Bootcamp. We have mindbending challenges and more complex concepts to consolidate, strengthen and improve further your skills!
