Yes, you can. Please contact us, let us know you want us to issue you an invoice for this training (and how many people you want to enrol), we will send you an invoice that you can then give to your accounts area or manager to process the payment via EFT.

If your accounts area or manager prefers to pay the invoice via corporate credit card we can arrange that but credit card fees will apply as we use a separate secure payment gateway that charges ~1.9%.

We have had complete beginners as well as advanced UX practitioners complete our course and they all give us good course ratings. While it will help if you have experience or qualifications in either IT, digital, market research, psychology, social research or marketing, it is not essential. However, if you are side-stepping from a completely unrelated field and want to switch careers into UX, we recommend you join our UX Accelerator mentoring program instead.
