UX Microcredential

Microcredentials are certifications, often in the form of a digital badge, that verify a learner’s competency in a specific skill or set of skills.

At Kingsborough, we have bundled classes in our User Experience (UX) Design training program to create an 8-week UX Microcredential program. Earners of the UX Designer Badge have developed the entry-level skills needed to create digital interfaces that respect Heuristics, Design Thinking, Gestalt, and Accessibility and Interaction Design principles. They are competent in conducting research with users, mapping qualitative data, gaining insights to generate inspiration, designing sketched and digital clickable prototypes.
