Review

Let’s get one thing straight before we begin: this is not a review on a training course.

Seriously. UXtraining.com offers so much more than one single course – it offers an entire resource library of more than 100 (and growing) UX training videos that you can watch anytime and in any order you please. And it’s freakin’ awesome.

The very first video in this impressive library sets the scene and provides a super quick (and super helpful!) overview of what you’re in for. It’s worth watching because it includes tips on how to get the most out of the videos.

As for the videos themselves, there’s some seriously good quality content here. It’s well researched and concepts are reinforced with relatable (and often hilarious) real world case studies. This training also consistently provides the viewer with good  examples of tools to use and further reading resources including books and well written articles.

One thing that really stood out for me with these videos was the way some of the training included a video within the video. Sounds weird but it totally works! When you’re watching it, you feel like you’re actually in a classroom with the presenter (Colman Walsh) and then he’s like ‘ok lets watch a quick video’. These Inception-esque videos add value and support the point he’s trying to make – they’re not just there because he can’t be bothered talking.
