UX Accelerator Program

You can start the UX Accelerator program every second Monday we have a project running (which is most of the year). As soon as you register and pay you will receive your login and then you can commence your onboarding training. If you register before midnight Saturday your first module and activity will get unlocked on Monday morning of the next intake date within 2 weeks. A new module and activity will get unlocked each week after. 

At the end of our UX Accelerator program, we will work with you to guide you through the process of landing an internship or UX job within 6 months. We will review your resume and portfolio and help you connect with industry employers and recruiters through our networks.  We also offer qualifying students internships in our UX consulting company to give you more experience.  As long as you follow the steps we suggest if you don't find a role within 6 months you can undertake another project and 13 weeks coaching for free. Conditions apply.

While it is definitely advantageous to have experience or qualitifications in either IT, digital, market research, psychology, social research or marketing, it is not essential but you will need to spend a few more hours a week on the program. We will teach you all the foundations of UX to start your career. 

All UX project activities, learning and coaching calls are done remotely. It is the new way we do things in UX at the moment anyway. We aim to schedule our coaching calls at a time that suits most global time zones but if you can't attend the coaching call live you can watch the replay which we post withing 48 hours.

Generally we aim to conduct coaching calls on a Monday lunchtime Australia time which is Sunday night US time, however, times may vary depending on when you enroll as we want to ensure you join students who are at the same stage as you on our project. If you can't attend the coaching call live you can watch the replay which we post withing 48 hours.

Payment plan (for everyone)

For our UX Accelerator course, you can choose to pay for the course over 4 instalments with the first instalment payable when you when you register.

The UX Accelerator program is estimated to be take between 100 and 150 hours, and will require 8-15 hours a week over the 13 week period. You can take a little longer than this, however you may miss out on your project being used the client if you miss the deadlines. 

There are 10 modules to complete, each with 6-8 lessons containing videos, activities to complete for your client project, and a weekly coaching call.

3 weeks have been set aside as a catch up weeks and/or for you to focus on your project.

Designers or digital folk with some experience are likely to complete closer to 100hours, and pure beginners with little relevant experience are likely to take closer to 150hours. The flexibile learning style of this program means you can complete the majority of the course in your own time.

If you work full time during business hours, you can do it after hours. If you put in extra effort in your project this will reflect in your portfolio.

The weekly coaching call is the only scheduled activity that is at a set time, however if you can't make the live call it will be recorded and you can access it via the learning portal.

Yes for the UX Accelerator! But it does have conditions. We offer a full money-back guarantee, if in the first 30 days after you get access to the course materials, and after you have tried the program - if for any reason you don’t want to continue with the course - then contact us and we will refund you in full.

This request must come in writing as an email to our support@peakxd.com.au within 30 days, and you need to have attended at least 1 live coaching call and completed the first 2 weeks activities. After this we will assume, you’re getting great value.

All refunds are processed at the equivalent of the average USD/ AUD spot rate of the day when the purchase was made. Client requesting refund pays any associated bank fees.

We made this course with a goal to empower you to improve the world through human centered design. It is our goal to produce a product that will help you achieve this. We believe we have created a valuable product that will help you learn the tools, methodologies and techniques of user centered design.

Note: we do not guarantee that you will automatically pass the exam after this program. To maintain the integrity of the certification it is only awarded to those who have achieved a pass in the exam and this is regulated by a third party. We give you a practice exam and answer sheet which should prepare you for the exam.

Stand out from other UX course graduates: We provide training to get you industry recognised certification offered by an external industry association. It's a stamp of excellence: Certification tells your employer and your colleagues that you've got a higher standard of knowledge and expertise. It'll help your career progression: Whether you want to 'side step into a UX Career from another profession', 'win the contract' or 'move up in your organisation', having a Foundation Certification in User Experience will boost your chances of success. Earn more money: Who doesn't want more money? Certification demonstrates that you're committed to your profession and you're willing to invest in your future. Employers will see your value, and you can use this to justify a promotion or pay increase. Future-proof yourself: One of the biggest benefits of certification is the study and time you put in to your own personal learning. The certificate at the end is also a bonus, but the time you put in will keep you current.

You can sit the exam at any point in the next 12 months. When you complete all modules and are ready to sit your exam we will help you book in for your 1 hour exam. For the UX Accelerator, your assessment fee is included and we will provide you with an exam voucher code that you can use to book the exam at an approved examination centre. The voucher will expire 12 months from the date of issue. There are currently 5,000 approved examination centres in 175 countries. You can search for your city to see where your nearest test centre is.  We can also arrange online remote protoring (examination) if for some reason you cannot get to a test centre.
