The School of UX Available

The School of UX conducts structured digital product design, user research, and technical UX training from sessions hosted at Canada Water Library and via live digital workshops across Greater London. Founded in 2016 by interaction designer Sergei Golubev, the organisation operates on an applied diagnostic framework rather than purely theoretical instruction. Tutors with direct tenures at institutions like Microsoft, Transport for London, and the BBC orient each session around practical software architecture, interface auditing, and behavioural analysis, teaching practitioners how to dissect usability friction within functional digital ecosystems.

The core methodology breaks interface creation down into systematic operational stages: business alignment, foundational user research, information architecture mapping, usability testing, and development handover. Rather than treating visual interfaces as decorative layouts, the curriculum demands that wireframes and design systems tie directly to conversion analytics and measurable user flows. Participants work through live accessibility evaluations against WCAG criteria, structure comprehensive pattern libraries, and deploy AI-assisted prototyping tools to pressure-test interactive journeys. Complex problem-solving exercises simulate genuine technical constraints, such as edge-case error states, multi-step checkout drop-offs, and enterprise software density.

Beyond individual professional intensives, the practice provides on-site corporate team training and bespoke design auditing for product teams navigating complex interface transitions. For bespoke assignments and private mentoring sessions, the instruction focuses heavily on design system governance, component QA, and portfolio forensics—evaluating whether an applicant's work transparently justifies the business rationale behind wireframe decisions. Having delivered UK Department for Education Skills Bootcamps, the technical benchmarks align strictly with modern engineering requirements and digital product management workflows.

Enrollment and custom enterprise bookings operate on predetermined cohort schedules, typically booking out two to four weeks in advance for in-person seats at Canada Water Library. Individual participants and prospective corporate teams preparing for onboarding should audit their existing digital assets, technical design tools (such as Figma profiles), and specific workflow bottlenecks before attending the initial consultation. Bringing live wireframe prototypes or defined product metrics to the opening diagnostic session enables immediate, tailored technical feedback on architecture and usability rather than generalized theoretical reviews.
