Interaction Design Foundation

Update: They issued me a refund after I contacted them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They never sent me any renewal notice or receipt of purchase since I signed up for a membership in 2019. I haven been charged every year since (2020, 2021, 2022). I was totally unaware of the transactions since I was expecting any subscription service to send a notification for renewal and receipt after renewal. But I didn't get a single email about it from them which is something I've never seen elsewhere. That 600 dollars was the last thing they will ever get from me. I will never use their site again.

If you want to launch a new career in UX Design, this is one of the best platforms out there. The courses provide me a great overview of User Experience and Design thinking. All in all, it was a great, happy and insightful learning experience. I would recommend this for beginners. :)

I only completed the 'Beginners Guide to UX' course but thoroughly enjoyed it. This course was very in-depth, helpful and easy to follow and I really liked how the course was split over several weeks, there was no pressure to complete it in one go. It was thanks to this course that encouraged me to study User Experience Design at an undergraduate degree level. Customer support and the lectures are very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend trying the courses Interactive Design Foundation offers.

The first thing people think about when they think of the Interaction Design Foundation is design education. But I think I have learned more about the community and the people by the email back and forth with Rikki, the chief editor. She's responsive, kind and clear with her words. Not only is this a good reflection on IDF but on the work at hand. IDF had a large hand in my design career to date. Not only did they reaffirm the knowledge gained in my own experiences, but helped me further understand the theory of design and how best to continue improving and putting it into practice.

Thanks to the team for putting together an amazing course and sound career path as a guide of which knowledge we need to push our career further.

One of my clients needed me to help them redesign their complex control panels in order to help their sales team understand the data, without having to read a manual. I needed to brush up on the subject, so I enrolled in the Information Visualization course at the Interaction Design Foundation website. In a matter of weeks, I completed the course and earned my certificate. The course helped me design a far more user friendly and easily understandable control panel than I would have been able to design without attending the course. On behalf of myself and my client, thanks!

There has been a great challenge for businessmen and women in Kambuga town council where there use much of their transport and time to travel from their district to the capital city "Kampala" for shopping.
The book i received from the Interaction Design Foundation has helped to make the research, define the problem, ideate, prototype and test. Where i have created an e-commerce platform where the businessmen and women can purse their goods on whole sale but which is still a high fidelity prototype.

I switch from another highly expensive online bootcamp to IDF to continue learning UX Design. The Courses are very detailed, well explained, diverse content (Text/Video), a lot of resources and a great community.
Also, the support is fast, friendly and helps you to learn in a way you want.

I can highly recommend Interaction Design Foundation.

I joined IDF specifically to take their course on accessibility and it did not disappoint! The content was incredibly thorough, and even though I have taken more technical focused accessibility courses in the past, I found that I learned about new practices and applications that I hadn't heard of before.

The testing format of IDF courses is really great for keeping you on your toes, I find that I need to really focus on the videos or reading content to successfully answer the multiple choice questions. The discussion questions and activities are challenging without taking up an extraordinary amount of time.

I also find the incentive to be noted as within the top 10% to be a good motivator for me to do my best.

I am a graduate student and I joined the interaction design foundation with a keen interest in improving my knowledge. The course here not only gave me the knowledge it was an eye-opener to UX and psychology in design. IDF has also helped me to gain recognition and push me through the rough waters of design like an experienced sailor in UX.
I really appreciate these courses and the instructors who gave comment and motivate us. It's really helpful for us. And I achieve 17/32 certifications within 6 months. You only need to pay for one year and get this good opportunity to learn and gain knowledge. It's really worthful. I highly recommend to everyone to learn a new UX experience guide with this course. Who has been an industry expert or beginner in the UX industry.

I've been a member of IDF for several years and never regret becoming one in the first place. The mix of courses, the level of proficiency and the number of the courses are definitely worth it. The option to customise what you will learn based on selecting a career path is what helps you become a specialist based on your wants. Having more courses coming in shows the Foundation's commitment to provide the latest and top education based on what is happening in the areas of UX and lastly, Service design. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to have a strong base of knowledge.

I really enjoy the online courses on Interaction Design Foundation website - I like the diversity of topics covering all aspects of UX, I also very much appreciate the self-paced learning while receiving the needed support to finish the courses. Also, one thing I really like in comparison to other online courses is that the content is very well structured and engaging, the course I recently took was fully based on reading which really suited me as it made me to be fully engaged with the content, I learned a lot. Overall, the website is very engaging and kept me motivated during the whole course. I also really appreciate very attentive and friendly customer service. Thank you IDF!

It seems to me that the IDF was made in the right measure for my needs: a professional, serious and well-prepared organization, which delivers solid knowledge, easily adaptable to my experience and my expectations. I am not a professional designer. I worked for many years as Senior Business Developer and Alliance Manager, but I am currently in "gap year", "redesigning" my career, looking for specializations in design, which is one of the areas that I love the most. I believe that, with IDF courses, I will be able to combine this knowledge and techniques with my professional experience.

I joined Interaction Design Foundation in January 2021 hoping to learn the ABC of interaction design, but I got so much more than that.
Not only IxDF offers a variety of courses with recognised certification held by top designers, but also articles, masterclasses, webinars and bootcamps.
Moreover, members are free to join communities, get in touch with other designers and schedule virtual or in-person gatherings.
100% recommended!

I started to learn with IDF since September last year. I concluded 3 courses and currently taking 2 more. I work as a UX Designer for a tech company, and so the content of the courses I've been taking is so useful to succeed in my daily work, and the amount of information and variety of courses gives me solid grounds to improve in my career and to be informed to perform my tasks with success. I intend to keep on learning with IDF for as long as I can.

High quality UX COURSES with a great material for every level - you will find really interesting courses for beginners, intermediate and advanced learners. The presentation if the learning material is modern and the content is timeless - a mix of video lessons, reading, exercises... You'll get "addicted" to IxDF as me!

With IDF I was able to enjoy some amazing courses on Emotional Design and Accessibility (among others). I definitely dare to say that my knowledge doubled or even tripled during these courses. I believe IDF is an authority on UX courses and similar topics. Thanks a lot Rikke!

I've joined IDF community in 2018. For those amazing years I've completed all courses that they offer. The great thing is that IDF provide mixed type of content: video, text, charts, etc., so lessons are not boring and are even much better. I combine these learings with work in design industry, so I can use that knowledge in practice. Some courses are more theoritical, others more practical, but you can pick what you would like to learn. Morover, course instructors are industry experts and what's morst important, have a skill of teaching others. Structure of IDF courses is also well-designed and thoughtful. I can recommend IDF as a platform to learn UX Design.

During my career as a UX designer I have come across a multitude of UX related sites, but the IDF stands out as the premier resource within the sector.

It's quite apparent that the people behind this non profit are creating this amazing content as a labor of love, and not just to get a pay check.

It's a pity that i didnt found ixdf before i spent almost ten months in a "ficticial" official formation about UI / UX Design. I found that the contents reflects what an enterprise expect from an UX Designer or other Interaction Designer. But isn't only that even this formations can help at c level to understand the way to humanize the technologies adoptions.

I have had subscribed to IDF ( interaction design foundation) last year and through out the timeline I learnt and completed lots of courses which helped me get a career in ui/ux field as a ui/ux designer.

I was a member of IDF, I took the course for "User Research – Methods and Best Practices"
It was great Experience, It's not only videos and articles but also real practice like how to do User personas, User Journey maps and other UX activities.
Strongly recommending to go with IDF for good UX Knowledge.

I started with a below junior level of knowledge, now I am an intern with a lot of knowledge, implementing a lot of what I learned.
IxDF really helped me in reaching where I am today and surely where I will reach in the future <3.

I have come across the Interaction Design Foundation, taken a few courses, among them is the Interaction Design for Usability and I must confess, I was very pleased on how the information was structured and presented, the abundance of examples of good and bad ways to solve the usability and interaction issues, great way to communicate with different participants of the same course, reinforcing the knowledge we gained throughout each chapter. I will recommend to anyone who is interested in a career in UX, instead of taking a bunch of courses on different platforms, try to subscribe here, learn the basics and after that you're ready to start applying what you've learned along the way.
