Introduction
to UI Design

Dribbble’s Introduction to UI Design course runs every quarter, with the next course slated to start April 10, 2023.

Dribbble’s Introduction to UI Design is aimed at those who are new to design and aspiring to start their journey with the fundamentals! To get started in design, you will begin learning Figma & design basics over the course of 4 weeks!

Each week, there will be recorded video content to watch in your own time before attending a live, mentor session with industry experts. The weekly mentor sessions are intended to provide you more support and explanation on these topics. You’ll get expert tips, and feedback in real-time to grasp the design fundamentals.

Once you complete and graduate from the Dribbble introduction to UI Design course, you will receive a digitally signed certificate, along with a badge certifying completion that will live on your Dribbble portfolio. You can share your certificate and badge on your social media, like LinkedIn or your personal website.

Our UI course is an introduction into the world of design and is conducted differently to traditional online education! You’re not teaching yourself; we match you with a mentor to help support and guide you.

We focus on Figma fundamentals and then show you how to implement this to create beautiful user interfaces. We’ll look at research and visual exploration, afterwards you’ll start your first project from a brief.

Keeping in mind that individuals learn differently and have questions, we offer mentor-matching in complementary lessons to the weekly video content. Mentors are there to support you and help you grow your design skills.

We have created a program that anyone can do starting out! The program consists of unique mentorship and an on-demand dual program; that way, you can fit the program into your schedule while still receiving personalized feedback and guidance.

The Introduction to UI Design course is a mix of on-demand and live learning! You’ll have access to digestible tutorial videos and attend your mentor sessions prepared with any questions, and to learn more on the topics!

You’ll be matched with an expert mentor from a top design company! You’ll choose your session based on your timezone and schedule. We will give you a mentor for the time you need to make you proficient.

Upon completion of the course, a graduation certificate and a badge will be awarded to you on Dribbble. Afterward, we will circulate your interview-ready portfolio to our network of active and engaged hiring managers at top-tier design companies.

You will also be able to download and share your certification on other social media platforms from your user account.

There is no experience necessary; anyone can do this! We’ll teach you how to go from nothing to grasping the Figma basics and creating your first UI Case Study.

If you’re a novice at design or exploring design as an interest and have never been able to finish other independent courses, we have you covered with asynchronous videos and expert mentors!

Dribbble certified courses provide students with the following opportunities:

Interactive student learning

Every week, you will interact with your classmates, receive exercises for feedback, and build on each other’s knowledge in introductory design concepts.

Exclusive Student Work

You can search for and connect with other students using the student Slack network! Find your study partner, co-founder, or buddy.

Group projects & mentor feedback

Finding a design mentor shouldn’t be hard. We match you with a mentor from a top design company, who will support and guide you as you grow your design skills!

Throughout the program, you’ll have the opportunity to work with a small group of classmates on projects, including a final User Interface Case Study!

Optional virtual events and workshops

Students and alumni are given an exclusive discount to attend Dribbble workshops, to network with classmates and participate in group-learning activities. Workshops usually last a few hours or span several days and are held a few times a year. Workshop participation is optional but encouraged!

The Introduction to Design course is approachable and offers so much more than a YouTube video. This isn’t a course where the end-goal is to get a job after completion. We made this course for people wanting to explore design, learn the basics, and get mentor guidance before diving into more robust design.

For the UI course, we have 1 upfront payment option of $$799. (subject to change for any active discounts listed at checkout!)
