Why You Should Become a Certified UX Writer

Early in your career, it’s easy to waste months trying to learn UX writing fundamentals. Despite all of your efforts, you’ll still be lost because you:

  • Lack of a formal background in UX copywriting
  • Only find courses and boot camps that are too jargon-filled and lack depth
  • Don’t have insider tips nor the right resources on how to stand out as a candidate in interviews

To help you improve your UX writing skills, we went down the rabbit hole to understand what it takes to build a successful UX writing career from the inside out. We interviewed thought leaders in the UX design industry, reflected on our own UX writing experience, and learned the behaviors and habits of good UX writing.

That’s why we created the program with instructor feedback: to give you the knowledge to compete with other UX professionals.
