UI/UX Design Training

The UI/UX Design Training Program at DesignPulse Innovation Hub (DesignPulse Africa) is an intensive, hands-on 8-week program designed to equip learners with the practical skills required to design user-centred digital products. The program focuses on both User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) design—covering research, problem definition, ideation, prototyping, testing, and interface design using industry-standard tools.

This training goes beyond theory. Participants work on real-world projects, collaborate in teams, receive continuous mentorship, and build professional case studies that demonstrate their ability to solve real problems. By the end of the program, learners graduate with the confidence, competence, and portfolio needed to enter the digital product and design industry.

Digital products are shaping how people bank, shop, learn, communicate, and access services in Ghana and across Africa. As businesses and startups continue to build apps, websites, and platforms, the demand for skilled UI/UX designers who understand users and context is rapidly increasing.

This course helps you:

• Learn in-demand digital skills with global relevance

• Understand how users think, behave, and interact with products

• Design products that are intuitive, functional, and visually appealing

• Position yourself for employment, freelancing, or startup collaboration
