Partnering with the Interaction Design Foundation
At Harness, we believe a strong learning experience in UX design is best achieved through a deep understanding of UX principles and methods and applying that knowledge in real-world project environments.
That is why we have partnered with world leaders in UX design curriculum – the Interaction Design Foundation (IDF). Delivering the best in UX design instructional material, which you can then apply while working on a project with one of our company partners. All guided by our UX experts from industry.
“Learning is a lifelong journey and when you want to advance your career, content matters. You shouldn’t take any risks with your design education, and your course content should be evidence-based and rigorous. At the IDF, we have worked incessantly since 2002 on perfecting our content” says Mads Soegaard, IDF’s Co-Founder. “Our content, combined with IDF Course Certificates are sure to make a great impact on your career, and are continually gaining industry relevance.”
