Don't worry if you miss the course. We will re-run it shortly. We open and close enrollment to control the classroom size.

Why? Networking is a large part of your learning journey, so we want just the right number of people inside the courses. That’s also why we display the "XX% booked" on our course icons. 

If it’s very important that you enroll now, please let us know by emailing us at hello@interaction-design.org.

With a Professional membership, you can take as many courses as you’d like, at no extra cost. For example, if there are over 40 active courses, you can enroll in all of them at the same time and move from one to another freely.

With a Student membership, you can take a maximum of two courses at the same time. You can still take as many courses as you like—free of extra charges. You’d just have to finish (or drop them) so that you don’t have more than two ongoing courses at any one time. 

Once you’re enrolled, you can take all the time you need to complete a given course.

You’ll get a digital industry-recognized course certificate at no extra cost every time you complete a course with a score of 70% or more. 

Certificates never expire and can be saved as a .jpg file, so they’re easy to share. There’s no limit to how many certificates you can earn during your membership.

You can see an example of a Course Certificate at the bottom of the Course Catalogue.

There’s no specified time by which certificates must be awarded. Instead, they’re given to you as and when you’ve answered all quiz questions. This applies even if the questions are answered long after the official end date of the course.

Course lengths vary to fit your schedule. You can squeeze in short sessions daily or dive deep in longer bursts—whatever fits your busy life. 

The course outline provides a rough estimate of how much time you would spend learning before enrolling. 

Once enrolled in a course, you’ll gain access to a new lesson each week. You’re free to complete the lessons without any deadlines or end dates.

If you need to unlock lesson content sooner, please let us know by emailing us at hello@interaction-design.org.

Your answers will be graded by our experts and course instructors (not by machines) approximately two weeks after you submit your work. 

We mark/grade in so-called "sprints." This is much more efficient than doing little batches every day. It's part of our lean/agile work philosophy and is one of the factors that keeps our membership prices so low.

No, you’ll not be locked out of any lesson or course. 

You’ll have access to all course materials throughout your membership. There’s no pressure to keep at the same pace as the lesson release dates.

Sticking to a schedule has its benefits. When you follow along with other members, you can reap the benefits of our online community, ask questions, and exchange ideas. This has the potential to accelerate your learning.

Yes! Everyone's learning journey looks different, and we encourage you to continue learning and improving your progress. 

To retake a course, just follow these steps:

NB: Before you start, please note that when you drop a course, you’ll lose your progress and any answers you submit. Screenshot or save answers you'd like to reuse.

1. Go to your profile and click on the course you'd like to retake.

2. Underneath your progress bar at the top of your screen, you'll see “UX Courses” with an arrow (>) pointing to the course landing page.

3. Click through to the landing page and scroll to the bottom. 

4. Tap the red button that says, “Drop my course now.”

5. Head back to our UX Courses page and re-enroll yourself in the course.

You're all set to try again!

In some cases, we can open lessons for members who are retaking a course so that they don't have to wait for familiar lessons to unlock each week. If you'd like us to do this, please let us know at hello@interaction-design.org.
