Format

The format of UX Academy is mostly asynchronous, so there's no specific time you need to be in front of your computer each day. Rather, you can complete the coursework each week at whatever days and times fit best into your schedule. You'll be able to schedule your 1:1 mentor sessions through the course platform, so you can ensure they're at a time that's convenient for both you and your mentor. You'll also be able to see the Group Crit calendar and sign up for sessions that fit well into your schedule, as they're offered every day of the week at a wide range of times.
