Yes, you can take all the courses you would like. For example, if there are 30 active courses, you can enroll into all 30 course at the same time and move from one to the other as you please.
There are no further charges after you paid for your membership.
Please note: If you have a student membership, you can take a maximum of three courses at the same time. As a student, you can thus still take all the courses you would like – free of extra charges – just as long as you finish them (or drop them) so that you don't have more than three ongoing courses at the same time.
Start Learning
I missed the enrollment date and now the course is closed. Will I have any opportunity to take the course in the future?Don't worry if you missed the course. We will re-run it shortly. One of the reasons we continually open and close courses is to be able to control the classroom size.
Networking is a large part of our value proposition, so we want just the right amount of people inside the courses. That is also why we display the "XX % percent booked" on our course icons.
We'll re-schedule the course and make it available for sign-up on https://www.interaction-design.org/courses in only about a week (or perhaps a little bit more). The actual start date of the course will be a few weeks after sign-ups begin too. We've found that this is the best way to maximize flexibility and convenience for everyone, especially you as you put your course program together.
Do I have to be online at an exact time to study?No. You can set your own study schedule. There are no "live sessions" / "webinars" since our members are from all timezones around the world. We are a truly global community – with members in every single corner of the world.
Thus, once you are enrolled, you can take all the time you want to complete a given course. Each "classroom" for each course will never close, so you'll have permanent access to your classmates and your course material (and your own answers).
Will I receive a Course Certificate?Yes. Every time you complete a course you get an industry-recognized Course Certificate. There is no limit to how many Course Certificates you can earn during your membership. You will also receive a 3-step guide on how to include your Course Certificate on LinkedIn and in your Resume/CV.
You can see an example of a Course Certificate at the bottom of the Course Catalogue.
How can I drop a course?You can simply go to the course page and click on the "Drop Course" button which will also erase all your course progress and answers.
I have answered questions in a lesson; when will they be marked/graded?We do the marking/grading in so-called "sprints," where we sit down and do all the marking/grading in one go.
We do this because it is much more efficient than doing one little step every day. It's part of our lean/agile work philosophy and that approach to efficiency is one of the factors that keeps our membership prices so incredibly low.
We are doing it to save you money and as part of our mission to lower the cost of high-quality design education.
I have updated my name but my course certificate is not updated? Please contact us at hello@interaction-design.org and our member support will regenerate your certificate with a correct name. I have started the course/lesson later than the specified date, are my answers still going to be marked? We will be marking answers for as long as there are active members. Therefore, even if you are the only person taking a lesson at one point your answers will be marked. How are courses graded? Multiple-choice questions are automatically graded in the system, whilst open-ended questions are marked by the course instructors. I started a course after the official start date; for how long will I have access to the course materials?Regardless of when you have enrolled on a course you will have access to the course materials for the whole duration of your membership. So if you pay for a one year membership you will have access for one year, renewing your membership for a second year means you will have access for two years, and so on.
English is not my first language so it takes me longer to learn the course contents, will I still be able to answer questions after the course completion date?Yes, you will be able to submit answers for the whole duration of your membership.
New lessons are starting before I have had the chance to complete all aspects of the previous lesson(s); am I going to be locked out of these unfinished lessons?No, you will not be locked out of a lesson or a course. You will have access to all course materials throughout your membership, so there is no pressure to keep a pace with the specified lesson release dates.
We only recommend that you try to stick to the same schedule as other participants because they may have moved on to other lessons, which could mean you miss out on the social aspects of the course(s). However, we anticipate that there will be a constant flow of participants working through different lessons and courses, so you should not miss out. Alternatively, we will be running all courses again so there is no rush.
Are course certificates awarded on a specific date?No; you can generate your certificate as soon as you collect 70% of total course points.
When will I receive my Course Certificate?Course certificates will be given to participants when they have scored more than 70% of the full course points. For example, if a course contains eight lessons each with ten questions, you will receive a course certificate when the instructor has awarded you at least 70% of the full course points.
There is no specified time that certificates will be awarded, instead they are given to participants as - and when - they have answered all questions, even if this is long after the official end date.
