Designing Solutions (CPUX-DS)
3-day practical seminar (plus optional certification test on the fourth day)
In this advanced level seminar you will learn how to design intuitive user interfaces with an excellent user experience, which specifications must be available in advance and how to systematically improve user interfaces through evaluations.
By focusing on designing solutions, or more precisely user interface prototypes, this seminar "Designing Solutions" (CPUX-DS) closes the gap between the advanced-level seminar "User Requirements Engineering" (CPUX-UR) and "Usability Testing & Evaluation" (CPUX-UT).
The seminar is based on the CPUX-DS curriculum of the International Usability and User Experience Qualification Board (UXQB), which is recognized by 5 professional associations of usability professionals: German UPA, UX Switzerland, UXpro Austria, UXPA UK and UX Danmark.
Language
Depending on event location and date this seminar is available in German or English.
Target Audience
User interface designers, interaction designers, UX architects, information architects and all those interested in professionally creating human-centered design solutions.
