Workshops, mentoring and corporate training — taught by practising designers, assessed properly, certified at the end.
HoverTap a programme to see what it covers. Every track now includes AI — used as a working tool, and designed for as a material.
Design sprints and UX upskilling run against your own product backlog — not a generic case study.

Every participant fills in the same card before they leave the room — two scales, two open questions, handed back on the spot and never chased afterwards. These are the cards from a five-day UI/UX cohort, photographed as they came in.
It was a very informative and fun session. I got to learn many things regarding UI/UX, which developed a new interest in me towards UI/UX.
Good, interesting, got a knowledge about design technique, got an idea how the design is done in industry. Great workshop.
Sir, it was a good experience to learn about UI/UX. In this 5 days I learn many things in UI/UX — and thank you for the session, Sir.
It was fun and interactive and a very engaging workshop. I had an opportunity to learn new skills.
Definitely the workshop was very helpful — especially when I got to know about the basics and core concepts and principles of UI/UX design.
No lecture slides for three days. Teams leave with something they built and tested.
Most teams arrive solving the wrong one. Day one is spent finding out which one actually matters.
Day 1Participants run their own interviews — no role-play, no personas invented in the room.
Day 2Paper to prototype in a day, then straight in front of someone who's never seen it.
Day 3Work is critiqued properly. The certificate reflects what was actually done.
Day 4
The thing a training vendor can't say.
Nineteen years designing enterprise software — healthcare, capital markets and industrial systems — and the last decade building the teams that do it.
He has hired, coached and promoted designers across four organisations and mentored over 100 designers through structured capability programmes. The workshops are built from that same material — the levelling frameworks, critique practice and research methods he uses at work every week, not a syllabus assembled for teaching.
Attendance certificates are easy. These are earned against assessed work.
Every participant is assessed on the work they produced in the room — the prototype, the research, the critique — not on having turned up. The certificate names the programme, the hours and the dates, and carries a reference number.
Live client work is what keeps the teaching current — every method in the syllabus is one we're using this week.
