Hello, I recently tried to apply for a Junior UX designer job, sadly the agency never got back in touch, however it has confirmed my passion in the sector. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a Industry Recognised Qualification, there are quite a few around, which might help me progress further up the application process? (I’m based in the UK)
Hi Alex,
I’m not sure I understand what you mean by accredited, and if that’s the same as industry recognised.
Bootcamps are certainly the latter, and we have a few topics along those lines. Here is a good example. General Assembly have a lot of options.
@jacquidow is in the UK and can probably give you a better idea of what is well known/respected in your part of the world as far as quals go.
If you want to do a degree, we have a good list of what’s available here.
Yes Hawk, that’s what I meant industry recognised.
Hi there,
I’ve completed this course last year, its an accredited BSc Honors degree programme. Its broader than just UX, however you pick a stream, and one of those is largely based on UX and development.
The couse is entirely online based and designed for people working full time.

Works ok from here!
Hi, sorry for the delay, have only just spotted this
When we were recruiting we didn’t really look at qualifications, I was looking for someone who was very passionate about user experience, and design in general, and had an attitude for learning. I don’t know if this is the norm though. If you can talk the talk and show a good portfolio I’d say that will go a lot further than a qualification.
Sorry I can’t be more help!
