UX Design roles have seen an exponential growth in recent years, with salaries above the £65k mark. Whilst there are a few industry standard prototyping tools on the market, Adobe Xd is considered one of the very best. In this two day course, you’ll go from having never used Xd, to designing a final interactive prototype that can be shared with friends, colleagues or prospective employers. Adobe Xd skills are high in demand and UX is a huge growth industry.
An intermediate knowledge of Illustrator or Photoshop is highly beneficial to use Xd to its full capacity, but suppose you don't use either of these packages. In that case, we suggest you study either our Beginners Xd and Illustrator or Beginners Xd and Photoshop combo course. These combination courses are exclusive to Papa Pixel and represent the very best value for money.
UX is a fascinating and highly rewarding industry, but this course won't teach you the fundamentals of it. If you wish to learn real UX, taught by our UX professional working in the field, you should take a look at our UX Designer course, which includes learning Adobe Xd.

Most of our Adobe courses come with a free Adobe authorised training manual for your reference during and after the training. The courses where no manual is available come with comprehensive notes for you to take away with you. We always have a maximum of six delegates in our classrooms which will give you more one on one time with the instructor.
You are encouraged to ask us examples of how to do things that you need to learn for you role. We try and tailor a portion of the day to accommodate this, so that everybody leaves with relevant knowledge suited to their job.
Our trainers are all Adobe certified (Adobe Certified Instructors) and more importantly, have worked in relevant roles using all of the software they teach. We check all of our trainers credentials thoroughly before we employ them, to give you the student, the very best learning experience.
