Course Outline
What You’ll Learn
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. Design thinking is a problem solving method, not a visual design skill. The course is built for business professionals across every function.
Any real workplace challenge where the people affected matter: a process that frustrates users, a service with low uptake, an internal workflow that resists improvement. The trainer helps you scope it in the first session.
One day is enough to practise every stage of the process on one real problem, which is how the method sticks. Depth in user research and digital prototyping tools continues in the follow-on modules.
You will present your artefact package briefly to the assessor, and you will have rehearsed the through line during the day. Most attendees find it the most valuable few minutes of the course.
Design thinking is the problem solving foundation UX practice is built on. This course teaches the method itself; the UX modules go deep on research, interface design, and tooling.
Yes. You leave with a complete artefact package on your own problem, an iterated prototype, and an embedding recommendation for your organisation.
