Information architecture (IA) training
Our hands-on information architecture training course receives great feedback from participants.
- The IA training course lasts for one full day
- Courses usually have a maximum of 10 participants due to their interactive nature
We usually run our information architecture (IA) training the day after our usability testing training and 2 days after our web usability training course, so you may wish to come on 2 or 3 courses. Book the same person on to 2 courses at the same time and get a 10% discount or book 3 courses and get a 20% discount! Our next course dates are:
- Wednesday 24th February 2010 (2 places available)

The training course was delivered at a comfortable pace and in a group small enough to benefit all levels of experience. Thanks for a very enjoyable course!

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
