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!
