Really enjoyed the course at Bunnyfoot! It gave me a good overview of human centred design, and our teacher helped us understand how this fitted with latest industry practice, and it put me in a good position for the exam!
The CPUX course was hugely insightful and I thoroughly enjoyed taking it. Learning directly from a practitioner and expert in the field was much more relevant and penetrating than you get with just a training course provider! I left with the knowledge and understanding that has allowed me to talk confidently to senior managers about human-centred design and user experience, and the certification really demonstrates my expertise in the field. Being armed with great set of tools in my toolkit, I can use these to improve processes and adopt an approach that is based around the customer/user, instead of business needs.
