Why this program matters

  • Product teams that skip user research build features of which 64% are never or rarely used (Standish Group).

  • A usability test with 5 users detects 85% of ergonomic issues (Nielsen Norman Group) — not testing means letting end users discover bugs in production.

  • UX fixes cost 10 times more after release than during design.

  • Companies that integrate user research into their product cycle reduce new feature development time by 33%.

Program

Advanced UX Design curriculum: 2 modules over 2 days

Module 1 : designing and conducting structured user research

Overview of UX research methods: when to use which method (attitudinal/behavioural matrix). Research plan: objectives, hypotheses, methods, recruitment, timeline, budget. Participant recruitment: screeners, panels, guerrilla, incentives. Exploratory interviews: interview guide, active listening techniques, probing, bias avoidance. Contextual inquiry (field study): protocol, note-taking, analysis. Workshop: writing an interview guide and conducting a real interview with a recruited user.

Module 2 : usability testing, synthesis and agile integration

Moderated usability tests: protocol, task scenarios, metrics (success, time, errors, SUS). Unmoderated and remote tests: tools (Maze, UserTesting), benefits and limitations. Facilitating a test: instructions, think-aloud, neutrality, managing participant stress. Analysis and synthesis: affinity mapping, pattern identification, severity scoring. Research deliverables: data-informed personas, journey maps, insights report. Integrating research into the agile sprint: continuous discovery, testing cadence. Workshop: conducting a complete usability test and presenting findings.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Advanced UX Design training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
