Information architecture (IA) training philosophy
Our IA training follows one basic principle:
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime
Chinese proverb
Put simply, we don't want to create your IA for you - we want you to be able to do it by yourself, again and again in the future. The information architecture training lasts for one full day, during which time you'll complete a series of exercises designed for you to discover the answers by yourself and then put into practice what you've learnt.
By the end of the day, you'll have acquired a deep understanding of how to research and design a full information architecture. As a result of our hands-on information architecture (IA) training, you'll have:
- Confidence in managing an end-to-end user-centered design and IA process
- A deeper understanding of your new knowledge
- Ownership of what you've learnt
Courses are relatively small (maximum 10 participants) due to their interactive nature and are informal and fun.
