Listen to what our past students have to say
UX Writer at Gett
I gained so much from my mentor and trough the lectures, but especially from the internship which I felt really prepared me work as a UX writer in the real world. It was very eye opening and collaborative.
Content Designer at Virgin Pulse
UX Writing Academy changed the trajectory of my career. When I joined the class I had just become a content writer and started getting brought in on ux writing assignments at work. I enrolled and was able to use the information I learned from day one. The online sessions, feedback and mentorship met all of my needs. I was able to learn with a group of peers, get feedback on my assignments and get career advice from my mentor.
UX Writer at Freepik Company
What I liked the most about this course is that all the knowledge is transmitted pleasantly and practically, along with the continuous help and support of my mentor. This program has helped me know what I need to be a real UX Writer and to keep moving forward in my current work. 100% recommended!
