Course description
Created in association with the International Usability and User Experience Qualification Board (UXQB), this professional 2.5 day course and UX certification covers usability evaluation methods and theories – in particular, usability testing. It is independently assessed/certified by Certible.
We were the pioneers and are now one of the leading providers of the Certified Professional for Usability and User Experience (CPUX) courses in the United Kingdom.
CPUX is an international standard for qualification of individuals who are professionally involved in developing or ensuring the usability or user experience of products.
Usability Testing and Evaluation (CPUX-UT) is an advanced-level course which focuses on the preparation, moderation, and analysis of usability tests and builds on the foundational CPUX-F course. 50% of the course will be spent on practical exercises like writing test tasks, moderation, and communicating usability test results.
