The CUA™ training covers foundational UX skills and knowledge such as:

• Scientific understanding of human functioning (in areas such as vision, intellect or memory) and the impact on design
• Researching customers and analyzing their requirements
• Creating design artifacts such as user profiles, personas, scenarios for accurate information architecture
• Designing navigation structures that intuitively map to users' expectations
• Designing for inclusiveness - including accessibility and cross-cultural design
• Conducting usability testing to determine your design's success

You will find like-minded professionals from the design and allied fields such as UX designers, graphic and visual designers, interaction architects, UI developers, marketing and other business stakeholders who will benefit from this foundational UX knowledge.

Our instructors are also UX experts and consultants. They add practical insights to the course material from their projects with small clients to Fortune 500 companies, demonstrating how you can apply what you’re learning in class. You will take away researched and empirical UX knowledge, tips and best practices.

The cost covers:

• The CUA™ track includes 4 courses (10 days of in-depth training)
• Comprehensive electronic course materials, workbooks, and quick reference guides
• Online CUA™ exam (and one re-attempt in 6 months if required)

You can certainly choose individual classes that meet your needs. However, the four courses are designed to provide the practical skills you need for diverse strategic and tactical UX design projects. Taking all four courses prepares you holistically to be a successful UX practitioner.

If you've attended the entire 10 days of CUA™ training, then you are already well prepared to clear the CUA™ exam! If you don't pass in the first attempt, you can make a second attempt within 6 months at no extra cost.
