UXGO believes in goal-oriented learning. This is why the learning modules have been dissected into easily digestible sections. Time is the most valuable for you when breaking into the industry; it is critical to only learn what you need. Our learning modules are meant to help bridge the disconnect you find between academics and industry. Through our modules, you will learn all the needed topics to break into the industry.
Everyone is unique, don't be like “everyone else”, we customize your UX career for success. Learn how to get the most out of your membership and access on-demand 1:1 help & support from the coaches of your choice in our well-established community. Build in-depth relationships with coaches and other UXGO members with our 24/7 Slack support with live feedback + monthly members-only live courses & career workshops.
UXGO advanced programs are extremely different from any cookie-cutter Bootcamp or masters UX programs out there. After careful evaluation, UXGO creates tailored, modular, 1:1 + small group classes led by a team of FAANG UX coaches. Curriculum and scheduling can look like meetings 3+ times a week with coaching teams to build and master real industry UX experiences; not just UX theory. You will be able to create a highly polished, interview-ready case studies, portfolio, or any artifact you need within a 6-10 week duration, all customized to your specific needs. Our advanced program interview prep also has the highest offer success rate compared to any platform online.
UXGO offers its coach team more than just wonderful opportunities for those passionate about mentorship. The UXGO coach ecosystem is a way for current successful industry professionals who are still on the greener side to create strong networks and quickly advance their career goals, all while making a positive impact to the larger design community.
