I’ve just published my first UX case study in 3 months of signing up and I’m so happy about it! It wouldn’t have been possible without the Interaction Design Foundation—thank you for providing such a great platform for young designers to learn and practice UI / UX design.
Preeti Mehalwal, United States
I originally joined to get a job in UX. Back then, I just graduated from university, and used your courses to get industry-relevant skills. The courses are very high quality, and when I put my certificates on LinkedIn and my resume it helped me land a job.

My membership has paid itself about 20 times after getting a pay raise based on my new skills. The education provided by the instructors, designers, and support staff is superb. I have learned so much in such a short time, and all of it has been applicable to my professional goals. Truly, a world class experience.

I am recommending membership for the Interaction Design Foundation to everyone in this space—and everyone buys in because it’s so incredibly industry-relevant.
Dereck du Toit, South Africa
The Interaction Design Foundation is the right place for you if you’re in search for the perfect balance between academic rigor and practical relevance… Sometimes you need more than learning. You need someone to believe in you, because motivation is more important than knowledge. Motivation is what pushes you to learn. Interaction Design Foundation is all about that.

For a while I had been looking for online interaction design courses and I am really happy I found you guys. You’re doing a great job!
Gisele Le Chevallier, Norway
I became a member of the Foundation to learn specifically about dashboards and to improve my English language skills. But I had a great surprise when I found that I could learn so much more! I always thought that online courses had a very limited grasp in learning, but the way that all the content was structured showed me that it is possible to build really good stuff in this format!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How much will I have to pay for the courses?
As a member, you can take as many courses as you want with no additional costs. This means you only have to pay our membership fee to take an unlimited number of courses. There are no further charges on top of the membership fee.
-
Can I take more than one course at a time?Yes, you can take as many courses as you would like. For example, if there are 30 active courses, you can enroll in all 30 courses at the same time and move from one to the other as you please.There are no further charges once you have paid for your membership.
Please note: If you have a student membership, you can take a maximum of two courses at the same time. As a student, you can thus still take as many courses as you would like – free of extra charges – just as long as you finish them (or drop them) so that you don’t have more than two ongoing courses at the same time. Please note that if you drop a course, progress is not transferable between cycles. So, you'll have to redo the lessons and answers you already completed in the current cycle. -
Can I get my manager to pay for my membership?Here is how to get your manager or company to pay for your membership:
- Get approval from your manager (e.g. using the email template below).
- Please pay with your credit card (either your own or your corporate credit card).
- Your invoice will instantly be ready — and we can modify it to meet your manager's requirements.
- You and your manager are protected by our 30-day money-back guarantee.
Example email for your managerDear manager,
I would like to get reimbursement for my membership of the Interaction Design Foundation. This membership can benefit our team and company in the following ways:- I can enroll in all the Interaction Design Foundation’s self-paced, online courses (in my spare time), which will help me complete current projects with a better result.
- I can network with peers from all over the world and find out how others have addressed issues we are currently facing.
- I will be able to continuously educate myself on UX topics through the Interaction Design Foundation's courses and eBooks. I can use my newfound knowledge to save our company from hiring someone to do certain UX tasks in the future.
- I can get a mentor from the Interaction Design Foundation’s members from companies like SAP, Google, Apple, Oracle, and universities like Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Cambridge and many more.
- Because of the breadth of educational materials I will be able to learn how to solve specific design problems. And I can acquire new skill sets that our company is lacking.
- I would like to offer to share the key take-aways from the courses with my team.
PS: To give you some background, the Interaction Design Foundation is an educational foundation comprising the world’s design and UX elite, and you can read more about the foundation at https://www.interaction-design.org/about -
I missed the enrollment date and now the course is closed. Will I have any opportunity to take the course in the future?
Don't worry if you missed the course. We will re-run it shortly. One of the reasons we continually open and close courses is to be able to control the classroom size.
Networking is a large part of our value proposition, so we want just the right number of people inside the courses. That is also why we display the "XX % percent booked" on our course icons.
We’ll re-schedule the course and make it available for sign-up on https://www.interaction-design.org/courses in only about a week (or perhaps a little bit longer). The actual start date of the course will be a few weeks after sign-ups begin too. We’ve found that this is the best way to maximize flexibility and convenience for everyone, especially you as you put your course program together.
