Course overview

Learn by doing! 20 value-packed live sessions and masterclasses

The Product Design Cohort offers a 3 months program to help aspiring designers build skills and a portfolio through project-based learning. The program focuses on developing UX Research, UX Strategy, UI Design and Interaction Design Skills . By the end of the program, designers will have completed hands-on, high-quality projects that can unlock various opportunities. The cohort selects 10 students and includes weekly live classes, assignments, guidance, and a supportive community.


The program was created to address current pain points of designers and ensure that the topics covered are relevant to the ever-changing design landscape. Join us for this transformative experience.


Previous Cohort Success Story



• We had a 90% cohort retention rate. Cohort members showed up every weekend for 20+ live sessions, 2-3 hours of live masterclasses, and also completed hands-on projects they are passionate about. This is fascinating to me in a world where most courses have a low completion rate.


• 55% of our cohort members got work opportunities, while others are in the process of working towards that.Some members even have plans to turn their projects into real products.

        I couldn't have imagined a more unique, skill-building, mindset-changing, cohort-driven program than Product Design School. My decision to join was last-minute, after months of researching every UX/Product Design bootcamp and master's program suitable for a mid-level career switcher. This incredible environment for learning, and growth.

        I applied these skills at work, and my project's demo got great feedback. It introduced design thinking to my company, and I was asked to present my work to the top executives. As a Product Designer, I got promoted to Design Lead. It's proof that learning new skills can lead to exciting opportunities.
