Learned UX, but every job asks for experience?

This UX apprenticeship closes the gap between a course case study and a first UX role, with guided hands-on projects.

You have the skills

You know the UX process and have a case study. What you are missing is hands-on practice and a portfolio.

Employers want proof

Job posts ask for experience: working with constraints, feedback and deadlines, and finishing the work.

We give you structured practice

Six months on guided sample projects, with regular critique from an experienced UX leader.

100% online, built around your day

You don’t need to quit your job or skip college. Live sessions run in the early morning and late evening (IST), with feedback on your work in between.

Morning sessions

Short live sessions before the workday: plan tasks, unblock problems, review progress.

Night sessions

Live design critiques in the evening. Every decision questioned, every screen reviewed.

Feedback in between

Share work any time on the group channel and get written feedback on your deliverables.

Guided projects, on record

Every project, deliverable and hour is logged, so everything on your certificate can be backed up.

Mentor you can reach

Employers can contact your mentor to confirm your work and skills.

About the UX apprenticeship

The UX apprenticeship is a 6-month online mentorship for people who have learned UX but need hands-on practice. You work on 3 to 4 guided sample projects, get regular critique from a UX Manager with 18 years in UX, and finish with portfolio case studies, an experience certificate for the months you serve and a mentor reference.

It runs fully online, around your job or college, with live sessions in the early morning and late evening (IST). This UX apprenticeship is optional and separate from our courses, so you can join after the Training programs or after learning UX elsewhere. A basic UX portfolio and a short entry task are required.

UX apprenticeship mentorship outcomes journey over 6 months

Is this online?

Yes, 100% online. Live sessions, project work and feedback all happen remotely, so you can join from anywhere.

When are the sessions?

Early morning and late evening (IST), so you can join around a job or college. Exact slots are shared before each batch starts.

Is this a job or an internship at a company?

No. The UX apprenticeship is a paid online mentorship run by UXDCO, where you work on guided sample projects under mentor review. It is optional and separate from our courses.

What does the experience certificate say?

It is issued by UXDCO and confirms you completed a 6-month online mentorship, with the projects you worked on, your hours and the skills you showed. It does not claim employment at a company.

Will employers count it as experience?

That is their decision. What you can show them is project work you completed, a portfolio and a mentor who can vouch for you — which many employers value more than a job title.

Do I get paid?

No. This is a paid mentorship and does not include paid work or a job offer.

Do I need to take the Mastery course first?

No, but you need a basic UX portfolio and must pass a short entry task.

Do you guarantee a job?

No. We help you build proof that makes you hireable, and guide your job search.

How much time does it take?

About 10–12 hours a week for 6 months, including live sessions and project work.
