Usability testing training
Our hands-on usability testing training course receives great feedback from participants.
- The usability testing training course lasts for one full day
- Courses usually have a maximum of 10 participants due to their interactive nature
We usually run our usability testing training the day after our web usability training and the day before our information architecture (IA) 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:
- Tuesday 27th April 2010 (4 places available)
- Tuesday 22nd June 2010 (6 places available)
The usability testing 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!

Usability testing training philosophy
Our usability testing 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 do all the usability testing for you - we want you to be able to do it by yourself, again and again in the future. The usability testing 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 plan, prepare, run and analyse usability testing sessions. As a result of our hands-on usability testing training, you'll have:
- Confidence in carrying out your own usability tests
- A deeper understanding of your new knowledge
- Ownership of what you've learnt
