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.

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!

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.

As a graduate of one of the Bootcamps run by the Interaction Design Foundation, I can emphasize the most important points that could aid someone in their search and choice of the learning resources when starting a UX career: the IxDF' platforms offers a huge selection and variety of study options, it's flexible to suit your needs, in terms of time and resources, it provides access to industry-recognized mentors and most importantly, networking. Also, one gets to know how to build a portfolio from scratch, which would later represent the "boarding pass" in the UX professional path. The IxDF team is very responsive to one's inquiries and needs, and very professional in their approach. I find the IxDF learning platform innovative and brain challenging. It generates new ideas and makes one see things from a different perspective. Of course, it entails a doze of personal effort, dedication and engagement to acquire new knowledge and skills, but it's worth it. I am happy to have chosen IxDF and strongly recommend it for all UX enthusiasts.

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.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We wish you the best in your professional career and hope our courses continue to help you in improving your skills.
Very best,

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.

I registered for IxDF because I wanted to improve my UX research skills and wonder how UX designers use skills for their work. Thus, I followed the UX researcher course and participated in several networking hosted by IxDF. It was a fantastic experience and made many connections. The first and foremost was based on experience, I finally got the UX research intern job.
However, after I accomplished my goal, I forgot to terminate my service, and last month, I noticed it was an automatic renewal.
I contacted IxDF immediately, and they were willing to fully refund without any hesitation, I feel like they care about the customer's emotions and experience. I would like to come back whenever I have free time or some parts that I need to improve.
Thank you for providing honest service and fast communication, especially Rikke in IxDF communication team.
I definitely recommend IxDF if you want to be a UX designer or researcher. They are history and have a foundational knowledge of either practical materials as well as academic materials (such as methodology).

It has been really a great experience to learn UX design form Interaction Design Foundation. The content and the short courses they have bucketize to give a seamless learning about UX, Start to End are awesome. And those courses have rich content and real-time question answers are making the learning easy and helping beginner to grasp the logic of Human center design for long term. I would refer to every UX beginner to start with Interaction Design Foundation to become a pro in UX in such a very low cost of learning.

IDF has helped me learn /understand what is Design all about, it has impacted greatly in my career growth. Their certification has help me get good opportunities. Thank you IDF :)

I am more than positive about this learning platform. The editorial team obviously consists of UX experts, and I think it is noticeable. As a content and learning experience professional, I have a lot of experience with learning platforms and online courses, and I must say I do like the approaches and strategies the IDF has chosen. One of the nice things is the fact that the courses and the grading of the exercises are still partly human driven (instead of going the automatic way full on). A lot of the experience IS human interaction, which I like.
Throughout the years, a real interesting community has grown and making use of that network and its potential is an invaluable bonus. I really think here is were the absolute benefit is: the annual subscription cost is comparable to the admission price of a bigger UX conference (maybe even a bit cheaper) but the network opportunities are much bigger. There are local meet-ups, there are active discussions, you can find your mentors and peers, you can discuss your portfolio, there is members-only white papers and ebooks,... Absolutely recommended.

I have been studing UX with IxDF for the past year and I'm planning to continue doing so in the future because they don't rest in offering great new courses every few months.
In terms of economy, with one anual fee (that in other places wouldn´t pay for one course) I managed to do 15 courses (I would have done more if I had the time).
In summary, the best of the experiences. Thanks Rikke and IxDF for this great platform.
Tip for consumers:
You should sign for 4 or 5 courses at a time because lessons activate a week after you finish the previous one. This way you will always have a course available while the next lesson is unlocked.

Hi Ezequiel,
15 courses? A real go-getter! Bravo!:-)
You're absolutely right. Our members can take courses that would cost thousands of USD on other platforms.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. I'm happy to know that you're enjoying IxDF.
Keep learning, keep growing!

We started a design agency more than a year back without any idea of what UI UX is, we learned that IDF is one of the organisations dedicated to offer courses to enhance design and UX skills (that too at a very very economical price). I would like to confirm that I've got a lot of UX clients basis the things I've learned from IDF. The community is big and there are monthly local meetups where members share and learn about different concerns. I would truly recommend any one starting or already in the Industry to get started on IDF to enhance their UX skills to a different level.

I found IxDF one of the best resources for learning UX.
Overall experience:
- The community is active and helpful, the teachers are wonderful.
- I found myself doing almost all of the courses there, which helped me a lot.
- IxDF staff is extremely nice, If I had a question I would just send an email, and in a few hours, I would get a response. I felt like I'm chatting with my friends.
Learning:
- IxDF is designed for all levels, from beginners to experts, they got you covered.
- All of the courses are well written, the close and open questions are challenging. Don't expect your answers for the open questions to be correct all the time (which for me showed that they are carefully checking the answers, and not just giving points away).
- In each course, you got optional challenges that you can share with the community and get feedback on your work.
- IxDF also offers webinars all the time that cost $1 for members.
- IxDF got a lot of recourses that can help you as a UX designer.
Verdict:
I can go on and on about how good this place is since it helped me in many ways.
Would definitely recommend this site for people who want to understand what's UX, what to expect from working in this field, and learning about all sorts of topics that are related to design.
10/10 for me, I hope this review was helpful.
Good luck on your journey.

Prepare for yourself a learning schedule and progress in your own time :)

In my opinion to become UI/UX Designer must be something in your gene (you can search about it "left/right brain people"), Its like some people love math and some hate it, Some people can compose music and some cant, So before joining you must know IxDF cant change your gene but if you have that it will be great platform to learn and polish your knowledge.
Also for people that want to just have knowledge about UI/UX like team leads, marketing and other people it will help a lot. Don't expect to become UI/UX designer just read and pass this courses.
I really like Rikke and het team mentality and helpfulness, Keep it up guys!
