I love the platform
I love the platform, is mostly easy to use, the lessons and certificates have a great value to me as team leader and to my associates that gain not only the skills but a way to prove it, they are extremely happy that we partnered with the UX Foundation Interaction Design through the enterprise profile.
There are certain opportunities but overall, great support, the variety of topics are up to date and very useful, the scoring of each person work is well thought, I feel we actually learn.

Great course for getting started with UX for VR.
The UX for VR course helped me connect my prior UX knowledge with specific topics in the world of virtual reality, offering a well-balanced mix of theory and practical exercises that made the learning process engaging and applicable. The content was clear, engaging, and well-structured, providing valuable insights into designing immersive virtual reality experiences. I truly enjoyed the course and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in exploring UX design for VR.

A must-have UX platform & a truly exceptional customer support
I have been an IxDF member for 2 years for now and, really, there aren’t enough words to describe my positive feelings about it. I have taken courses on other platforms before as well, but only with IxDF I have felt such eagerness to actually come back and take more in – the content has been made really easily digestible.
In addition to the engaging courses, as a member of the IxDF, I would really emphasize the fact that they also offer regular (and high-quality) masterclasses (these ones I looooove the most!).
Oh and, the customer support / team behind the content? Say no more – truly exceptional as I have also already mentioned in my title here. My communication with Rikke has been so heartwarming, sincere and helpful… Thank you for that, Rikke.
Rikke has always answered me in a matter or hours and, helped out even with some personal disturbances that have come on the way of continuing with the courses.

Great customer support
I subscribed to the platform thinking that the billing was monthly and got charged annually. I reached out for help and had a super kind and helpful response from the team. Thank you very much!! If you ever offer a monthly plan, I might consider coming back.

Hi Paula,
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and for appreciating our team's assistance—it means a lot to us! I’m truly sorry about any confusion regarding the annual billing structure. Our goal is always to provide clarity, and I’m glad we could support you effectively.
While we primarily offer annual memberships to keep the cost of our courses accessible, we do have a monthly option called the Design League. It includes 2 hours of personal coaching each month and is designed for those looking for a more intensive learning experience.
We’d love to have you back if the time is ever right for you, and we’ll certainly consider all feedback as we continue improving! In the meantime, don’t forget about our free resources, like our open-source UX design literature, which you can explore anytime.
Wishing you all the best on your design education journey!
Warm regards,
Rikke from Interaction Design Foundation (IxDF).

Great site supported by great people
I have taken multiple courses with IDF, from Journey Mapping to Creating a UX Portfolio, and their courses are truly top-notch. The content is well-structured, and they have an excellent approach to delivering lesson plans. I would highly recommend IDF to UXers looking to upskill.
Additionally, the customer support is outstanding. I had a subscription query that was quickly resolved, and to my surprise, the assistance came directly from Rikke, the co-founder and Editor-in-Chief. Her hands-on approach and dedication to ensuring a positive experience exemplify the company’s commitment to quality, giving me an even stronger appreciation for the work they are doing.

A Must-Have Resource for UX
A friend of mine, a UX designer for a large Fortune 500 company, recommended Interaction Design Foundation as a helpful resource to help kickstart my UX career. I found the courses intuitive, easy to use, and flexible for my schedule since you can learn at your own pace. Compared to other UX programs, IxDF is a relatively affordable investment for most.

Good platform
Some courses are valid (like Agile methodology or Conduct Usability test), other too generic (like Design for Augmented and Virtual Reality).
It really depends on your level of expertise. In general I will reccomand it.
