What’s Unique About Our Seminars?
CPUX Seminars
The CPUX is an international standard for education and training in the field of usability and user experience. It is published by the “International Usability and User Experience Qualification Board”, in short UXQB, and is internationally recognized.
The basic certification „Certified Professional for Usability and User Experience - Foundation Level (CPUX-F)“ forms the basis and is the access requirement for the extension levels and specializations, e.g. for usability testing or design.
All usability.de UXQB certification seminars are based on the official UXQB curriculum. Due to this and the high practical content, they enable optimal preparation for the certificate exam, which you can take directly after the seminar.
By the way: We also offer the CPUX-F certification seminar including the certification exam online!
