Frequently asked questions

Is this training right for me?

We assume little experience in the user experience field. The courses are appropriate for anyone working in the creation of digital products who wants to learn about the process, tools and techniques to create successful user experiences. The courses are not focussed on how to use specific software.

You say you offer Live Online training, what does that mean?

Training sessions indicated as Live Online are taught online by Akendi instructors leading and interacting with you in real time via video, interactive exercises, and collaboration software. What you would need is a computer setup with high speed internet, webcam, and a modern browser.

Do I have to take all the courses in one week? OR can I spread them out?

Courses can be taken one at a time over a two-year period. However, by registering for the full week you can pay for the certification, which works out to less than the individual courses when added up.

What are the prerequisites?

There are no specific prerequisites for the courses.

Where are your self-paced courses?

We are currently developing self-paced versions of our courses. If you would like to be notified when they become available, please send us an email: training@akendi.com

If English is not my native language, do you require a TOEFL, IELTS or GRE score to attend?

Though English language test scores are not required for any of our courses, the course content revolves around abstract concepts and requires a firm grasp of the English language. We recommend a fairly high English language proficiency (TOEFL 80-90 score, IELTS 5.0-6.0 points, TOEIC 785-944 points)

Is there a cut-off date to register?

Registration will stay open until the start of training or a maximum number of students have been reached.

Do I have to complete the courses within a certain timeframe?

Most participants complete the certification within a one-week intensive program, however, if you are completing certification through individual courses you have two years to complete. If more time is required, you may request an extension by emailing training@akendi.com
