Unlike other courses, we don’t hand out meaningless ‘certificates of completion’. You have to earn your qualification by passing a two-part assessment.
Part 1: Project work
You are required to submit 8 mandatory projects (see page 29). You will be given a grade (with feedback) for each project submitted.
The project account for 60% of your overall assesment.
Part 2: 'Online exam
Once all projects have been submitted, you can sit the online exam. The exam is multiple choice and it can be taken at any time and place that suits you. Re-sits are available if you don’t pass first time.
The online exam last for 120 minutes and makes up the remaining 40% of your overall assesment.
Develop your UX portfolio and demonstrate your job readiness through a series of real-world projects.
