How to become a UX Designer?
After over 150 completed training courses in the “Become an IT Specialist” series and with the experience of conducting classes for 1500 satisfied graduates, Sii has launched another course for people who see their future in the tech industry.
– “Become a UX Designer” is one of the latest courses offered by our Training Practice. It has been designed to provide students with practical and comprehensive knowledge in the User Experience area from scratch – says Rafał Kwatek, Offering Lead, and Trainer at Sii Poland. – We focus primarily on practical skills, not just theory. We want the graduates to be able to start working on commercial projects – he adds.
The author of the training program is Maciej Miłanowski, a UX Designer with over 8 years of experience, who has cooperated with such companies as Renault, BMW, Toyota, Puma, and Epic Games. Every day, he develops UX concepts and takes care of the functionality of websites and services on the basis of market trend analysis.
– When creating the “Become a UX Designer” training program, I was inspired by the latest trends in the UX world – says Maciej Miłanowski, Trainer and UX expert at Sii Poland. – I wanted the course to be as friendly as possible for new and future UX specialists. In my career, I had the opportunity to participate in a large number of projects conducted for industry leaders, which allowed me to gain valuable professional experience and knowledge which I share with my students. Thanks to this, my classes are based on real cases and include more than just theory from books or tutorials – he adds.
