Excellent introduction to UX/UI
I really enjoyed the courses I took on with iXDF. The quality of the content was excellent, it was thorough, well structured and organised, and so they were easy to follow. The mini assessments at the end of each module were really useful to keep me on track. As a beginner to UX/UI these courses are an essential foundation to learning the basics. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to start out in this field. And as far as value for money goes, I haven’t seen anything better out there!

3-year-old Member of IxDF
I am a self-taught UI/UX designer, and a huge part of my learning comes from IxDF. As a fresher with a master's in Information Technology and no prior background in UI/UX, I built a strong foundation through their courses.
Initially, I was skeptical, as many platforms are profit-driven, leveraging trends and niches to attract customers only to leave them astray. But IxDF was different—I received incredible support from one of the co-founders, Rikke Friis Dam.
When I faced issues with course enrollment, she made exceptions that allowed me to complete my courses. For instance, IxDF usually limits users to two active courses at a time, and enrolled courses must be completed. I mistakenly enrolled in a course and reached out to her—without rigidly citing policies, she understood my situation and helped me switch courses.
More recently, when my professional membership ended, I applied for a student membership, which only allows two active courses. At the time, I had three. She granted me a grace period to complete one course and converted the remaining grace days into credits, reducing my membership cost.
IxDF remains my go-to platform for its outstanding support, genuine care for its members, and industry-relevant courses designed by professionals.

Best place to learn online
If you are looking to study user experience, human centered design or anything in this field, this is the perfect platform to do so. This platform has applied the principles they are promoting into the learning experience themselves. It is way more than just signing up to a platform for a course with a certificate. The amount of resources, discussion forums and most importantly local communities complete the entire ecosystem. I see myself learning from this platform for a long time.
