Certificate in UX / UI Design

Detailed Course Curriculum
This introductory module sets the foundation for your journey into UX/UI design. You’ll be welcomed into the course with a clear outline of what to expect, including key milestones, tools you’ll master, and outcomes you’ll walk away with. We’ll demystify the roles of UX and UI, explain how they intersect in product design, and set the stage for a project-based learning experience. By the end of this module, students will have a clear understanding of the UX/UI field and be equipped with a roadmap for building real-world skills throughout the course.
In this essential module, students are introduced to Adobe XD, one of the leading tools in UX/UI prototyping, while exploring the core principles of human-centered design. Lessons cover interface orientation, workflow setup, and the tools needed to design thoughtful, user-first experiences. Students will learn how to use empathy mapping and persona development to guide product decisions, and apply usability heuristics to craft interfaces that are both functional and intuitive. By the end of this module, students will be able to navigate Adobe XD confidently and apply foundational user-centered design thinking to interface projects.
Wireframes are the blueprints of digital products—and in this hands-on module, students learn how to build them from the ground up. You’ll explore best practices in layout structuring, visual hierarchy, and interface logic, using Adobe XD to create wireframes for web and mobile platforms. The focus is on designing clean, usable layouts that form the skeleton of high-performing digital experiences. By the end of this module, students will be able to construct effective wireframes and begin translating ideas into practical design solutions ready for user testing and iteration.
This module equips students with the technical setup and foundational familiarity required to work effectively in Adobe XD. You’ll explore the Start Screen, learn how to navigate Adobe XD’s layout and interface zones, and adjust system preferences for a personalised workflow. Students will master the Properties Panel, manage reusable design assets, and explore pre-built UI templates to accelerate prototyping. From layer management to component creation, this unit lays the groundwork for efficient design practice. By the end of this module, students will be able to confidently structure and optimise their XD workspace for high-performance interface design.
In this module, students dive into designing the building blocks of user interfaces. You’ll learn how to construct reusable components, establish consistent visual styling, and implement grids and artboards for scalable layouts. Through a mix of theory and practice, students explore iconography, colour theory, type styling, and interactive navigation systems. You’ll apply blur effects to add depth and realism, and develop key UI screens like login forms and navigation bars. By the end of this module, students will be able to build polished, professional UI designs that form the core of user-facing digital products.
This module introduces students to dynamic prototyping workflows and usability testing methods in Adobe XD. You’ll gain hands-on experience linking screens using the prototyping panel, creating interactive states, and preparing design files for user testing. The unit covers testing strategies across devices, previewing experiences in real time, and gathering user feedback through shared prototypes. Students will also explore commenting tools and collaborative review features to simulate professional design workflows. By the end of this module, students will be able to create, test, and refine fully interactive prototypes based on usability insights.
In this module, students learn to map intuitive user experiences by visualising how users interact with a product from start to finish. You’ll begin by diagramming journey maps and UX flowcharts to represent navigation pathways across apps and websites. Through applied scenarios, students will design and simulate UX systems for both mobile and web platforms. The module also features a multi-part case study showcasing real-world UX/UI processes from ideation to solution. By the end of this module, students will be able to confidently map, prototype, and communicate full user journeys across digital interfaces.
This module explores advanced methods to elevate interface design beyond static visuals. Students will learn to design for emerging platforms such as smartwatches, craft UX writing that enhances usability, and integrate third-party plugins to expand Adobe XD’s capabilities. You’ll also explore motion design techniques to build fluid transitions and interactive elements that boost user engagement. The module concludes with future-focused strategies for continued growth in UX/UI design. By the end of this module, students will be equipped with advanced skills to create sophisticated, cross-platform digital experiences.
