Design meaningful human-centred digital experiences, leverage AI to enhance workflows, and build a portfolio that gets you hired—no prior tech experience required.
Excited to create impactful digital experiences that people love?
Dive into the exciting world of UX design, where creativity meets technology – and now, AI. You will learn how to create intuitive, human-centred products that genuinely improve lives. Through practical research, design thinking methods, and user testing, you will solve real problems with empathy and insight.
Master industry tools and discover how AI can enhance your designs and streamline your workflow. From wireframes to prototypes, you’ll bring ideas to life and build the skills to confidently collaborate in professional UX teams.
Our programme is divided into two phases, designed to provide the professional skills and then real-world experience. On completion of a phase, you are going to be awarded a micro-credential to recognise your achievements and progress. Each phase is 'by invite' only.
Design meaningful, user-first digital experiences.
This phase focuses on understanding user needs and creating intuitive, accessible designs. You'll use industry tools like Figma and apply AI in your research, ideation, and content generation workflows. By the end, you’ll have created a polished UX case study for your portfolio.
- UX Fundamentals: Discover the essentials of usability, user flows, design thinking, and the core principles that drive effective UX design.
- User Research and Empathy: Learn how to conduct meaningful user interviews, develop empathy maps, personas, and map engaging customer journeys.
- Information Architecture: Organise digital content effectively to create intuitive navigation and improve user experience.
- Interactive Prototyping: Master Figma to rapidly build prototypes, interactive components, and dynamic designs that bring your ideas to life.
- Usability Testing and Iteration: Learn how to plan, conduct, and analyse usability tests to continuously refine your designs.
- Leveraging AI in UX Design: Explore practical ways to integrate AI tools into your UX workflow, from automating repetitive tasks and generating design inspiration to enhancing user research insights.
- Agile Mindset and Scrum: Understand Agile principles and Scrum methodologies, and learn how UX designers collaborate effectively in Agile development teams.
- Presenting Your Designs: Develop the skills to communicate your design concepts with clarity and confidence, showcasing your work effectively to stakeholders.
- Emerging Tech, Ethics and Accessibility: Understand how emerging technologies like AI impact UX, and learn how to design ethically, inclusively, and responsibly.
- Career Preparation: Build your professional profile, strengthen your portfolio, and prepare for job interviews, positioning you effectively for UX design opportunities.
Gain real-world experience and industry-ready confidence.
In this final phase, you’ll apply your skills in a professional environment—working on real design and front-end projects alongside a team. You’ll receive mentorship, iterate based on feedback, and collaborate using Agile practices. By the end, you'll have real industry work to showcase and the confidence to step into your first UX role.
If English is not your first language, you must provide:
Clarity. Proof. Personality.
In interviews, stories matter more than buzzwords. Can you describe a time when something didn’t go to plan — and what you did next? Can you speak about your projects with ownership, not as a passive participant?
On LinkedIn:
LinkedIn isn’t just a CV. It’s a narrative. Make it yours.
Yes — but not through passive introductions. We:
But here’s the truth: we don’t “place” you — we prepare you, position you, and support you. Getting the job is a shared effort.
Absolutely — by design. From week one, you’ll be building things that matter: prototypes, pitch decks, user journeys, apps, dashboards. These aren’t isolated exercises; they’re tied to real briefs and audiences.
We coach you to reflect on each project, refine it, and document the process — not just the output. A good portfolio doesn’t just say what you built. It shows how you think.
This is the paradox: entry-level jobs are shrinking — but entry points are multiplying. You may not be hired as a “junior developer,” but you might get in as:
AI is reducing the need for rote execution — and increasing the need for interdisciplinary thinkers, people who know enough about tech to contribute meaningfully, and enough about people to make it matter.
So build a body of work. Learn just enough code to hold your own. Stay close to problems worth solving. And most of all — show up where change is happening, not where the gatekeepers are
Mentored work experiences are structured programmes where you engage in practical work activities under the guidance and supervision of experienced mentors. These experiences are designed to provide real-world exposure, skills development, and professional growth within a specific field or industry.
Mission Ready works with 300+ industry partners to provide mentored work experiences.
Participants work on actual projects or tasks that contribute to their understanding of the industry, allowing them to apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings. In addition to technical skills, mentored work experiences develop communication and teamwork skills that are so important in the modern work place.
Our facilitators match participants to mentors to provide you with valuable feedback, insights, and referrals.
The mentors, are experienced professionals who have agreed to provide guidance, feedback, and support. They help mentees navigate challenges, understand industry norms, and develop professionally.
These experiences often enable participants to connect with professionals in their field, expanding their professional network and opening doors to future job opportunities.
For many, these experiences can lead to employment opportunities within the host organisation or with others in the industry, based on the skills and relationships developed during the program.
Mentored work experiences are part of our Level 6 programmes.
