Just saw this – thanks Veronica – so rewarding for us to hear that you had a good experience doing our course. Our next project is super exciting – we are working with Medicines Sans Frontiers (Doctors without borders) as the project client (which kicks off in July 2020)

As one of the students who has already completed the course, I can honestly say that this review is accurate. PeakXD really do deliver an exceptional course, which is suitable for both beginners who are wanting to get into the field and more experienced UX people who are looking to get more practice at unused skills or certification. Working with real not-for-profit companies is a definite plus, and having real content for your portfolio is yet another bonus. I have nothing but positive things to say about this course. Thanks to the team at PeakXD for setting a new industry standard!

In reply to Georgia Doyle.

Hi Georgia – I can answer this – currently we have about 50/50 who are kicking of this first project. Half are in Australia, the others so far are in US. But we haven’t excluded any countries from joining us – all are welcome. There is quite a mix of backgrounds too with the people registered so should be a great group.

In reply to Remi. Yes, I think you'd be fine doing it after hours Remi, especially as you're already halfway into the UX field. Peak suggest that if you put more effort into your project it will reflect in the quality of your portfolio, so consider that too.

In reply to Carson Greenwood. Ha! If someone like you didn't pass, Carson, we'd all need to be worried. :-) And agreed, David Travis has done a lot to help UX education over the years.

+1 for the Foundation UX BCS certification. David Travis helped get it together and he’s a good operator. I did the exam just to benchmark how my self-taught skills over the years justify me still calling myself a UXer! And yes, I passed. :)
