Head of Design @Flutterflow
“Mentoring allows me to pass off the 9 years of experience and over 100 projects I have worked on to other people who want to learn how to solve problems through design. This mentorship is vastly important for new designers, learning what it is actually like in the industry instead of just reading from a book or putting together a sample project.”
Iker Fernandez
Lead Product Designer @Payfit
”During my career, I've been fortunate to be mentored by people that had a huge positive impact professionally, but that also helped me grow as a person. I hope I can help others learn and reach their goals.”
Allison Zadrozny
Design Lead @Bonsai.io

I found that the hands-on mentorship provides transferrable skills, relevant advice, advanced knowledge, and practical experience. This course has been a valuable experience for my career.

How is this different from other courses on the market?
This new, immersive learning experience sets our course apart from traditional online learning.
You no longer need to struggle to teach yourself course content without the creator's feedback or input.
We have created a robust program that 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.
In addition to a dedicated design mentor, you can learn directly from industry experts like Matt D Smith (creator of Flowkit and founder of Shift Nudge), Jessica Ko (former hiring manager at Google) and Jesse Showalter (Nike & Adobe designer) in live teaching and Q&A sessions.
What is the course format?
In Dribbble's Product Design certified course there is a mix of on-demand and live learning! You will gain access to a library of digestible tutorial videos and complete projects alongside some of the world's top designers as part of a structured curriculum that takes place over just 16 weeks.
As part of your learning experience, you will be matched with a mentor from a top design company and given a personalized learning schedule that fits your time zone. There’s no need to put your life on hold or quit your job to learn! During weekly live mentorship sessions, you'll share your tasks with an engaged community of your classmates and receive feedback on the work you've done.
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.
