Scheduling and Timing

It is possible to become UX Certified within one week.

• UX Certificate: You can participate in enough courses during one UX Conference to achieve a UX Certificate (most UX Conferences last 5 days, though some last up to 7 days).
  • Take an exam for each course online either in the evening after you took the course, or a few days after you complete all 5 courses. Each exam takes approximately 30 minutes.
• UX Master Certificate: To meet course requirements for a UX Master Certificate, you would need to participate in 3 separate UX Conferences.
• Specialties: Sometimes it is possible to achieve a Specialty at a single conference when all of the required specialized courses are offered. This is not always possible, however, and you will often need to attend 2 conferences.

Timing

You can choose to take all courses required for UX Certification during a single UX Conference or over a longer period of time. Or, you might consider hiring NN/g to train and UX Certify your team on-site. In either case, NN/g will keep track of your courses and the exams you pass. There is no timeframe during which you must take all courses in order to be UX Certified, and credit for courses you take does not expire. However, you must pass the exam for the course within 35 calendar days of your training for NN/g to count the course credit.
