Frequently asked questions
This course is suitable for anyone who wants to design and prototype user experiences and interfaces. This includes those who want to become UI/UX Designers, Front-end, Web and Mobile Developers. To get the most from this course, you need to have a basic understanding of UX/UI principles and design.
Although no prior hands-on design experience is required, it is recommended that you have an understanding of fundamental design principles which you can gain by completing the previous courses in the IBM UI/UX Designer Professional Certificate or the SkillUp UI/UX Design Specialization.
Prototyping enables designers to visualize and test their ideas before full-scale development. It facilitates early identification of issues, promotes user feedback, and allows for rapid iteration, ultimately leading to a more refined and user-friendly product.
