I've taken several courses on IDF. The course contents were easy to understand and intensive. The value of the contents are much more valuable than what you pay for.
Overall, it's a good platform with professional teachers and systematic courses. The downside might be the contents is more academic and takes a long time to complete the certificate.
Hi Jocelyn,
Thank you for your great feedback.
We are glad that you find our platform resourceful and our instructors knowledgeable. Our courses are designed for people at different stages of their careers and are self-paced to accommodate our global community. Unlike in conventional universities, we want everyone to have a chance to study when they can.
We understand that some of our courses might seem more academic and take a long time to complete, but we believe this is important to prepare future designers to have a seamless transition in the ever-dynamic design field.
We wish you the best as you continue to work towards achieving your goals and hope that you will continue learning with us.
Warm regards,
Rikke Friis Dam of the Interaction Design Foundation
I learned about I xD Foundation during University, but never actually joined until recently. I've been looking for some professional courses to keep up with the field while searching for work and I wanted to find some good *quality* among the thousands of courses all over the internet. I've had the opportunity to speak with Rikke from the Foundation and she has been one of the most incredible human beings I've ever met, it's thanks to her kindness and help that I've joined the team - and it has been the best decision I could make.
There are plenty of courses and as far as I've seen they are all of incredible quality. They're designed to help you in the process of learning by using both video and written material, and most of all they have dedicated forum discussions to do some networking and learn with (and from) other's experiences. The Instructors review your course's answers and give you active feedback every time, people are nice, supportive and helpful, and the content is top quality. You can find inspiration and exercises to insert in your Portfolio, but most of all you find great materials and further suggested insights in every lesson, which is a must for those who want to keep up with UX, Research, Design, and so on.
I've only completed one course so far, but I plan to finish more of them as soon as I can. You can learn at your own pace, and go deeper as much as you want in the forums, the discussions or by connecting with people and fellow learners. Incredible!
I couldn't be more happy! <3

I have been a member of the Interaction Design Foundation for a while but only just completed my first course - Human-computer Interaction: Foundation of UX Design.
Overall, it was a great experience. The course content was up to date, and I especially liked how motion design was used in conjunction with video to make the content more relatable and engaging.
I was fascinated by the history of computing and the evolution of tech in general and how its impact on our daily lives grew over time.
I learned the importance of making informed decisions about how users interact with products and systems. The course also covered the fundamental principles of screen design, emphasizing the importance of accessibility and cultural differences as key considerations. As case studies, we explored real-world products, delving into their user experience and evaluating the thought process behind the design decisions.
Hi Mustapha,
Thank you for sharing such great feedback.
We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your first course with us and enjoyed the experience. We work so hard to create courses that are not just text-based; we mix examples, videos and screenshots to keep our learners engaged and accommodate different learning preferences:-)
We are confident that you can now consider the fundamental principles of screen design, accessibility and cultural differences- all learned in HCI, as key factors in your daily design projects.
We hope you will continue to explore our other courses and master classes and, most of all, use the knowledge acquired to make a dent in the universe.
Very best,
Rikke Friis Dam of the Interaction Design Foundation
I will share my personal experience with Ixdf courses. The courses is for UX designers, Interaction designers, visual designers, UI designers, Frontend developers, User researchers, Product Managers, Marketer.

Thank you for choosing our platform.

I just earned my first certificate. It was a pleasure to listen to Dan Norman's friendly talk. He explains very well how to work on global issues as a designer and how to be effective on them. While listening to him, it is possible to realize the big picture we are in. It definitely broads up horizon. I am so excited to take other courses too. There is a booking system so courses are not available all the time. It give the feeling that it is live so you dont debt to take a lot of courses at a time. It is possible to see new course each day and each course subject is very interesting. I highly recommend!
Hi Duygu,
Thank you for the fantastic feedback:-)
Congratulations on earning your first certificate!
I’m also delighted you enjoyed Don Norman’s courses and learned much from him. He is certainly one of our best instructors and a voice to reckon with in the design field. I agree that his courses help us realize the impact of design on global issues and how we can use our skills to make a difference.
Networking is a large part of our value proposition, so we want “just the right amount” of people inside the courses. Thank you for recommending our platform:-)
I hope you continue to have a wonderful learning experience with us.

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).
Hi Yeonhee,
First, congratulations on your UX Research internship! We're so thrilled that the IxDF was a part of your journey to success.;)

I recently completed the Design for the 21st Century by Don Norman in Interaction Design Foundation. I am also pursuing other courses right now.
IxDF has a great collection of courses that caters to every aspect of design and very well-structured content, some from top leaders in the design world. And all this without being too expensive. The courses have a mix of multi-choice questions and essays to test our knowledge which I feel helped me understand the context better. And finally, the quick support provided by the team helped me through the questions when I had any.

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.
Hello Hua,
Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention.
We're here to clarify and support you so you can feel at ease.
We will always send you an email before the renewal in case you forget. We checked our logs and found renewal reminder emails were successfully sent to you each year.
We have a clear refund policy, but we're also a human-centric team that approaches each case with empathy and flexibility, as we want our members to have the best experience with us.
With that said, I've sent you an email with all of the case information and some potential solutions that we've tailored to your specific situation. Please check your inbox for an email from hello@interaction-design.org - let's make this a positive experience for you and put a smile back on your face!:-)
I look forward to your response so I can assist you further.
Warm regards,
Rikke Friis Dam of the Interaction Design Foundation

I am subscribed on IDF for 5 years now and it helped me accelerate as a designer so much. I highly recommend it to all individuals but also to companies to invest in educating their people, (not only designers).

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.
Hi Justyna,
Wow! You've completed ALL of our courses-- a very BIG congratulations on your accomplishment! I'm so happy you've come so far with the IxDF!
And thank you for pointing out the strength of our course instructors. We do our best to work with real UX professionals who have years of experience in the industry and teaching design such as Frank Spillers, Laura Klein, and even Don Norman!
I hope you continue to make great strides with the IxDF! We're always here if you have any questions or need help with anything.
Happy learning!

The field of design is gaining more and more visibility and that's for the best, but it also comes with the drawback of finding more and more articles on websites, blogs, social media … so that it can be difficult to know which one to rely on.
When I read a course or an article on Interaction Design Foundation, I know it has been written by an expert and reviewed by peers. I can also understand where the information comes from and keep digging on a topic thanks to the references and links provided. In a word, they are professional, and that's what I have always appreciated about them.
Hi Vincent,
Thank you for your kind review! I'm so happy you've decided to put your trust in the IxDF! Our team puts in an enormous amount of effort to curate high-quality courses, Master Classes, and content in congruence with real UX professionals.:-)
I hope you continue to make phenomenal progress with the IxDF! We're always here if you have any questions or need help with anything.

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.
Hi Sorina,
Wow! You've just made our week! Thank you so much for your high praise. I'm excited to hear that you've found our Bootcamp, courses, and platform to be challenging, insightful, and innovative. Our team works day and night (literally!) to bring high-quality content and support to our members and non-members alike. We're so happy to hear our hard work is paying off!:-)
I hope you continue to progress with the IxDF in the future! We're always here if you have any questions or need help with anything.
Happy learning!
