UX Designer Level 2: Visual/UI Design

Experience

with
Anthony Conta
UX Designers (also referred to as Product Designers) have the largest impact on defining how people interact with experiences. They are the ones most responsible for defining a product's user experience. In UX Design Level 2, you will take a project that has gone through the design thinking process and bring it to life visually. You will learn the fundamentals of visual design — color, typography, spacing, and more — and apply those fundamentals to pre-created wireframes. You will learn the basis of Figma, the most modern tool designers use every day to design. Finally, you will learn how to share your designs with others — those immediately on your team, in addition to those reviewing your work as a case study. UX Design 1 is not a prerequisite for this learning experience. However, we build upon the concepts taught and the work students do there for this experience.
Note: a laptop or computer is required for this program - some assignments are difficult to complete on mobile or tablet.

The experience at EntryLevel cemented my grasp on Product Management processes, and was an experience I used in depth during my interview. Since I didn't have any direct product management experience, the EntryLevel experience strengthened my profile in the eyes of the hiring managers.

I successfully got a job at LoftyInc Capital Management as a Venture Analyst. It was very useful, I won't lie. From deal sourcing to deal diligence, there was a lot I didn't know and I’m still learning. I still have the Notion link bookmarked to refer back to it.

I received an offer for a Sales Engineer role. The process engineering knowledge I obtained during the program stood out to my employers, as water treatment is one of the industries in which they work.

When I did the EntryLevel program, I was playing a dual role of Product Owner and Quality Assurance on a team. Two weeks ago I was offered a full Product Owner role (no Quality Assurance) at the same company for a different team.  I learned a lot and gained a lot of insight from the coursework through the program so, I'll forever be grateful for that! I’ve finally made the transition!

I started off the blockchain experience without knowing what a smart contract was. I do have programming experience but the 30-day intensive experience helped me get there quickly with the accountability of a team environment. The EntryLevel team introduced me to Drift post graduation and I was in the team a few weeks later.

What if I don't finish?

Congratulations! You’ve bought a course.

Most companies charge you thousands of dollars to help you have “skin in the game”. While its true that financial cost can be an incentive, if that's all they cared about they would refund you when you finish.

If you don’t finish, you retain access to the content. (People who opt for a refund lose access immediately after the course is over) In essence, you have nothing to lose because the worst case is you’ve paid for a course. Which is what most companies do anyway. We just want to provide a way to incentivise you to get to the finish line.

How does EntryLevel make money?

EntryLevel makes money in a number of ways:

  • Premium perks are offered upon completion of the program, such as premium certificates, bonus content and other perks.
  • Commitment Bonds that are forfeited when people don't finish
  • Enterprise/Business recruitment fees

What are the premium perks?

At the end of the program (if you graduate) you are offered the Premium Perks, which include:

  • A premium certificate
  • Continued access to the course content
  • Bonus content and resources based on the program you completed

To purchase these perks all you have to do is let us keep your commitment bond! Please note that the Premium Perks are completely optional.
Users who claim their refund will still receive a standard certificate of completion and will have their access to the content revoked after the program ends.
