Frequently asked questions
What are the prerequisites for the program, and do I need to have any specific UX skills?
The program is focused on applying and advancing one’s UX skills by working on real projects and getting feedback and guidance from experienced mentors (UX practitioners) as well as the client. You need to have an overall understanding of the UX process, its key phases, methodologies and common tools used. Candidates should already have basic UX skills (that they obtained by learning independently, working, taking courses or through higher education). In case you do not know UX basics yet, please see the next question.
What if I do not know UX basics yet? Do you have any tips on the best ways for learning those?
If you do not know UX basics yet and are someone motivated and committed who does well with hands-on learnnig, we now have an effective way for you to learn the basics for FREE - in a hands-on format while getting a comprehensive portfolio project. To learn more, you are welcome to request a UX career transition consultation (or just apply) with the Executive Program Director who has a UX and product background (and is not just a sales rep :) We only run up to 20 such sessions per month, and they are designed to help you learn about the UX career transition process and navigate your own journey, ask questions and check if you may be a good fit for the program. You can request the consultation here: beginex.com/consultation
What are the tuition payment options, and do you offer any money-back guarantees?
Our key goal is to help you get hired into your target UX role, and we do not want tuition to be a roadblock and prevent you from benefiting from the program. That is why, we designed multiple options for accepted candidates to choose from. You can save by paying in full or splitting tuition in half. However, if you cannot afford those options at the moment, we have you covered as well - you can choose a payment plan with anywhere from three to ten installments.
Also, Beginex program alumni have been quite successful at getting hired by many well-known companies including Google, Coach, ABC News, Capital One, Facebook, SiriusXM, multiple startups and design consultancies. That made us so confident in our grads that we started formally offering tuition-back guarantees* to qualified accepted candidates, making it pretty much risk-free - meaning you either follow our guidelines and land a UX job, or you receive your tuition back + an extra $500 on top of that :)
