Why a UX research course from us will help you learn

We design each UX research course to help you gain real expertise.

Maximum 15 students per class

Every session includes dedicated time for your specific questions, detailed inline feedback on your assignments, and clear action items before you walk out the (virtual) door.

Weekly office hours

No more wondering if your survey questions make sense or if your interview script will actually work. Screen-share your real artifacts during office hours, test different approaches on the spot, and leave with a concrete plan for improvement.

Classes built around doing

Research has proven: students learn far more deeply when they engage actively. No death by PowerPoint here. Each class is built around doing—analyzing real UX research together, critiquing examples from actual companies, and working through illustrative problems in small groups.

Make research friends while you learn

User research can feel isolating, especially if you're the only researcher at your company. Our cohorts connect you with people facing the same challenges across startups and Fortune 500s alike. These become your professional network, your sounding board for tough decisions, and your conference coffee crew for years to come.
What we offer

Why is a UXR Institute UX research course a great way to boost my career?

Faster, deeper learning

Taking courses not built for UX research means you have to figure out how to apply the lessons on your own. Self-study and self-paced courses leave you with no way to get your questions answered quickly.

Frequently asked questions

What makes UXR Institute's UX research courses different?

Our UX research courses are designed around hands-on projects that simulate real-world scenarios. This training approach helps you apply research concepts in context, building not just knowledge but judgment. These career-boosting skills are what experienced researchers rely on every day.

Are the courses self-paced or live?

We offer live courses only. There’s a major advantage to learning in real time: you can get your questions answered immediately by an expert instructor. This accelerates understanding and helps you avoid confusion or missteps.

What kind of projects will I work on?

Every course includes a realistic, manageable project that’s scaled for working professionals. For example, in our survey methodology course, you’ll design, test, field, and analyze data from an actual survey. You’ll practice making the decisions that lead to high-quality, actionable data.

Who are these UX research courses designed for?

Our UX research courses are primarily built for UX researchers with some professional experience who want to deepen their skills through targeted training. However, designers, product managers, and non-profit professionals also find the training highly relevant. Our small student-to-teacher ratio allows instructors to tailor examples to different domains, not just product development.

Why should I take a UX research course?

Learning a research method on the job can be difficult or risky. Projects often move too fast to absorb new concepts, and mistakes can be costly for your team and your career. Our courses provide a safe, structured environment where you can build new skills confidently and apply them effectively at work. This is why many professionals choose to grow through structured UX research courses.
