About this course
One pharmacy delivery app carries the whole course, from the first interview to the last usability test. People moving into design from another field start here, and the app becomes the first case study in their portfolio.

The weekly critique is the course. Mara's notes on my layouts were blunt and specific, and I could not argue with a single one of them.
Esther K.Service designer

Every assignment came back with notes within three days of handing it in, and the notes were about my screen, with arrows on it. I have paid more for courses whose instructors never looked at my work once. I run service design for a city council now, and I still reread those notes before I lead a critique of my own team's screens on a Monday morning.

The tutor never says which layout is better. It asks what the reader looks at first, and now I ask that of every screen I make at work.
Sipho N.Design student

My portfolio reviews changed after this course. People asked about my process and research, where they used to ask about fonts.
Hiro T.Front-end developer

I am an engineer, and by week two I could see why my layouts looked off to other people. I will never see spacing the same way again.

I came from print, and this course was the bridge. The exercises use real product screens, which was what I needed to see.

Enrolling
What people ask before they enroll
A person answers anything this list does not. Ask us.
No. The first module starts from nothing, and the tutor in each lesson answers the questions a first-timer asks, however basic they feel. What you need is 6 hours a week and a browser.
Nothing expires. 10 weeks at 6 hours a week is the pace the course was planned at, and at 4 hours it takes 15 weeks. The panel above works out a finish date for whatever pace you give it.
A start date, a finish date and a live review of the week's work every Thursday, with the same 30 people from the first week to the last. The lessons and the tutor are the ones the self-paced track gets.
A Professional Certificate, with a link an employer can open to check it and your reviewed project attached. It is the one credential on the site that hiring managers ask for by name, in the job ad itself.
Yes, within 30 days of enrolling, from your account page and with no form to fill in or reason to give. Lesson one is free with the tutor, so most people know the course suits them before they pay.
Waypoint Plus is $29 a month and opens this course along with every other. At $119 this one costs about 4 months of it, so buy it on its own if it is the only course you mean to take this year.
Watch lesson one tonight. Decide in the morning.
It opens with the tutor beside it and the practice set under it, and asks for no card. The other 20 lessons are $119 once, or part of Plus.
