The advanced seminar "User Experience Design (CPUX-DS)" gives you the tools to design user-friendly user interfaces yourself. You gain theoretical knowledge of interface specification, information architecture, and iterative prototyping. Hands-on practice is not neglected.
In the seminar, you develop task models together with the group. You specify usage scenarios and create prototypes at different levels of design fidelity. You learn why an iterative approach is important. The effects of ISO 9241-210 on design are also covered. There is also the question of how you involve stakeholders and document results.
One block focuses on the path from usage scenario to interface. You work with task models, specify usage scenarios, and take dependencies into account. The topic of information architecture covers content, navigation, and the visualization of processes. The difference between sketches, wireframes, and wireflows is also clarified.
The last block covers prototypes at different levels of design fidelity. You learn when high-fidelity and low-fidelity prototypes are appropriate. Gestalt laws and the importance of white space are part of this. Accessibility, ethics, and diversity are also discussed.
The seminar is aimed at anyone who wants to design professional user interfaces themselves in the future. It addresses aspiring UX designers and professionals who want to have their knowledge certified. Basic knowledge of usability and user experience is assumed, for example from the seminar "User Experience Foundations (CPUX-F)". Initial experience with interface design is recommended.
The certification is tiered. Without an exam, you receive a certificate of participation. Full certification as CPUX-DS consists of two exams. One is theoretical, one is practical. The theoretical exam takes 90 minutes in multiple-choice format, the practical exam eight hours. You schedule both dates individually and take them online.
The online format comprises four seminar days. Days 1 to 3 run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., day 4 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The group is limited to a maximum of 10 participants. The provider relies on interactive formats instead of lectures and leaves room for questions and discussions.
