If I could give less than a 1 star I would. This program was advertised to me as a chance to learn something new. It didn’t work out, I changed career paths, and time kept moving for me as a busy mom.

I realized a pending charge of almost $300 when I wasn’t aware they would just auto charge for a new year.

When I reached out about this letting them know I haven’t used the program in months and will not because I changed career paths they refused to stop the pending transaction and instead suggest I pay for someone else’s membership with the money they took from me.

Again I’m just a working mom, I don’t have $300 to spend on something I will not be using or to hand out to someone else.

This is something I would NOT do because if you’re not sure and your life moves fast like everyone’s does they are a cutthroat company that will take those $300 from you kicking and screaming wether you can afford it or not.

Discovering Design Thinking: A Transformative Experience

A few years back, I looked up the term 'design thinking' and clicked on the first link I found. The article provided exactly what I needed: a clear understanding of design thinking. It answered all my questions. After that, I explored the blog and resources available on the platform and fell in love with the free materials. Everything was well-organized and truly beneficial. Don't miss out on the blog and literature. Last year, I applied for a scholarship to join the platform. I initially received a kind email stating that no scholarships were available at that time, which was disappointing. However, two months later, I got another email — a scholarship had opened up, and they offered it to me. I was ecstatic. I began my learning journey and enjoyed every moment. I found the learning paths to be incredibly useful. As someone who values academic references, I appreciated the additional materials at the end of each lesson. The video lessons and the knowledgeable instructors were also highlights for me. Everything is crafted to be easily understandable, which I believe is a key strength of the courses. Another significant benefit is their responsiveness. They follow up, make you feel valued, and genuinely show care for their members. In summary, I firmly believe this platform is among the best learning options available.

Valuable Learning Experience for Service Design Professionals

As a practicing professional in Service Design, the chance to enhance and solidify my practical knowledge across various sectors such as Financial Services, Government, and Health & Life Sciences is incredibly beneficial. The platform offers educational experiences in the strategic areas of Service and Experience Design that align well with my daily tasks and help to formalize and enhance my current skills through a clear, structured framework. The content is practical and grounded; nothing feels theoretical. The exposure to industry-driven insights and applied methods is directly relevant and readily applicable to real-world scenarios.

Good variety of interesting courses

I have been a member of IxDF for the last 3 years and really enjoy the courses they offer. It is all self paced learning and something I can do on the train to and from work each day. You can watch Don Norman in action and hear from other really talented designers. Even if you have designed for a long time, there is always some insight you can gain from other designers.

Terrible experience

Auto-renewed my membership without prior notification. Extremely dark UX for a company that preaches good design as part of it offering. They send an email titled "Get ready for another great year" as if that clearly indicates they are about to charge you. Same thing happened to all my colleagues and now we have been charged and the owner Rikke refuses to offer a refund. Scam of a company - avoid at all costs.Terrible experience. Courses are very boring.

Recommended for UX designers

I initially put a negative review for an alleged improper charge. Fortunately, it was fixed. I signed up for their free trial to attend a Master Class on UX writing. I liked the Master Class. If I didn't continue after the free trial, it was because I couldn't find more specific courses for UX Writing. Even so, the little I saw seems highly recommended if you dedicate yourself to UX design.P.S.: I recommend informing more clearly about the "fund reservation" that is generated in the user's bank account when they register for the free trial. Not knowing it, you think you have been scammed.

My experience with Interaction Design Foundation

I’ve been taking courses with the Interaction Design Foundation (IxDF) for a while now, and it’s been one of the most valuable investments I’ve made in my professional development. The platform offers a wide variety of UX, UI, and product design topics, from beginner-friendly introductions to deep dives into specialized areas. What I appreciate most is that the content is grounded in research but still very practical, with clear examples I can apply directly to my work.The self-paced structure makes it easy to fit learning around a busy schedule, and I never feel rushed to complete a course. I’ve found the learning materials to be well-structured, with videos, readings, and exercises that complement each other. The certificates I’ve earned have been a great addition to my portfolio and LinkedIn profile, helping me stand out when applying for roles.Beyond the courses, IxDF has an active global community where you can discuss topics, ask questions, and connect with like-minded professionals. I’ve gained insights not only from the official materials but also from the discussions with peers around the world. The membership also gives me continuous access to new courses and updated content, so I’m always learning something fresh.Overall, IxDF has provided me with both knowledge and confidence in my design skills. I’d recommend it to anyone serious about improving in UX, whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your expertise. If you’ve been thinking about taking the leap into UX education, IxDF is a great place to begin and grow.
