Course Outline
What You’ll Learn
The live workshops are held once every two weeks. Each session advances a defined capstone milestone, while the time between sessions is used for project work, evidence gathering and revision.
Want a portfolio & career placement?
Pair this course with an Equinet Career Programme
This course builds your capability and certifies you. It does not include a project-based capstone, client placement, or career coaching. Our Career Programmes are built for that: three months on a real project brief, your own product idea or a host organisation, with dedicated career support and mentorship throughout.
Many graduates take both: the course for the certification and capability, a Career Programme for the portfolio case study and placement. Speak to a course consultant about the combined pathway.

No. This is an applied capstone for learners who have already met the required UX, UI and prototyping knowledge through an approved diploma, certification or equivalent pathway. It focuses on applying that capability to a genuine industry brief and building assessed portfolio evidence.
Admission depends on whether the prior programme covers the required knowledge and practical skills. Equinet Academy will review your background, portfolio, relevant experience and industry attachment before confirming entry.
Yes. You must have a confirmed and approved three-month industry attachment before the capstone begins. It may be completed through an internship, freelance project or approved workplace brief and must provide a genuine UX or digital product challenge suitable for assessment.
The approved project may involve a website, mobile application, SaaS platform, e-commerce journey, internal system, digital service or another interactive product. The scope must provide sufficient evidence for research, design, prototyping, validation and professional reflection.
No coding qualification is required. You must be able to design and prototype the experience, consider technical feasibility and communicate clearly with developers or technical stakeholders where relevant.
The project must provide an ethical and feasible way to gather relevant user evidence and validate the proposed experience. The method and sample will depend on the brief, access, risk and research constraints, and must be approved as part of the project plan.
Where the attachment partner provides access and permission, you may test or implement selected changes. Where live access is restricted, you may produce a validated prototype, design specifications, handover documentation and implementation-ready recommendations supported by genuine research and testing evidence.
You will produce a product design brief, research synthesis, current-experience map, prioritised product opportunity, user flows, wireframes, accessible interface designs, interactive prototype, usability findings, iteration record, recommendations, portfolio-ready case study and final presentation.
Yes. It is delivered entirely online through six live trainer-led sessions, 2 hours of self-paced e-learning and a live online final assessment.
The fortnightly structure gives you time to apply each session’s guidance to the attachment project, conduct research, develop and test designs, consult stakeholders and revise your work before the next milestone review.
There are two approved assessment methods: an Individual Project Presentation and an Oral Questioning Assessment. They are conducted within the same 2-hour live online assessment sitting. Your portfolio case study and project artefacts are submitted as supporting evidence; there is no separate second assessment session.
AI tools may be used responsibly where permitted, but you remain accountable for research ethics, confidentiality, evidence quality, design decisions and the final work. Confidential or personal user data must not be entered into an unapproved AI service.
Only information permitted by the attachment partner may be included. Confidential or personal data must be removed, anonymised or presented in an approved aggregated form. Verified findings and outcomes should be clearly distinguished from assumptions and projected impact.
No. The UX Design Career Programme provides structured portfolio review and placement coordination, but employment is not guaranteed. Outcomes depend on portfolio quality, demonstrated performance, role alignment, employer requirements and market conditions.
Genuine projects can change. Inform the instructor promptly so the brief, milestones and assessment evidence can be reviewed. Any revised scope must still provide sufficient evidence for the learning outcomes and remain approved by the relevant organisation.
