What will I learn on the IA course?
Our IA training is fully based around the principle of learning-by-doing. During the two-day interactive training course you will:
- Go through all the stages of a comprehensive user-centred design process
- Conduct in-depth user research & requirements gathering sessions
- Develop an affinity diagram of findings and user requirements
- Come up with initial conceptual designs based on a site strategy
- Develop personas and scenarios around these conceptual designs
- Design wireframes across a series of pages
- Discover how to conduct design evaluations & walkthroughs
- Learn how to develop these paper wireframes in prototyping software
- Understand the best techniques to communicate page designs to different audiences
- Acquire a deep understanding of how to research and design a full information architecture
Our IA training courses are relatively small (maximum 10 participants) due to their interactive nature and are informal and fun.
All training materials and an 80-page IA training manual (containing all tutorials) are included. You also get very well fed whilst you're here - we provide light breakfast snacks, a buffet-style lunch with hot & cold canapés and refreshments throughout the day.
