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).

IDF courses

Best Experience ever of learning UX
January 9, 2021

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.

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.

My experience with IxDF
June 17, 2022

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.

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.

A wonderful place to learn UX
February 3, 2021

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.

Its really great!
April 4, 2021

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!

UX Powerhouse!
April 7, 2021

Last year a good friend of mine recommended IDF to me when she found out that I'd be interested in getting into UX. And I'm so happy she did!

Before that I was trying to learn things on my own, trying to find reliable sources of information and learning material on the internet. Yes, undoubtedly, there's a lot you can find on the internet these days to learn from, but that will only get you so far.

When you're only just starting out in your UX journey you need structure and guidance, and you need confidence that you're in good hands. You want to build your knowledge on solid basics and you want to be able to learn about all the various aspects of the field. IDF gives you all of these, and so much more!

The amount of courses is unbelievable, covering everything from the absolute beginners to the more intermediate and advanced studies. You can easily take these courses step by step, building on each other. There's also lots of additional helping material free for you to download along the courses.
I especially like the templates which you can start using in your personal work right away!

The courses are a good mixture of reading and video lessons and they're taught by well-established and world-class experts in their field. What I also really appreciate is that even once you finish a course you can go back and revisit any chapter at any time if you need a little refresher on a particular topic.

And there's one more very important thing to mention - on top of the courses you'll get to be part of a great community, which is also priceless! There's always some interesting topics you can follow and join in the forum, and you can start networking with other people, from all over the world.
A large number of members are already working UX professionals who are also very happy to share their knowledge and want to network. There's always something new I learn even just from reading the forum :)!

I would absolutely recommend IDF to everyone who's looking to get started in UX and also those who want to broaden their existing knowledge and skillset.
There's so much to learn here! It really is a UX Powerhouse!
