We have been working hard to plan our new courses starting in August 2023. Here’s a rundown of what you could be learning in just over a month from now!
Our flagship SQA accredited course
Professional Development Award in Service Design
Our PDA takes place in four parts over six months. All classes are live, interactive, and online, supported by a wealth of online course material.
You will:
- Learn to use the fundamental tools and methods of service design.
- Apply your learning in your own professional practice.
- Build user research skills to help you identify user needs.
- Explore how you can involve people throughout the design process using co-design.
- Create a portfolio from four small-scale work-based projects to evidence your development skills and knowledge.
- Drive innovation through the empowerment of others
- Generate ideas to prototype and test before they become solutions.
It was so refreshing to bring it back to basics and put applicants at the heart of any redesign. Now I have the confidence to facilitate co-design workshops which are engaging, and end with clear actions and exciting outcomes.
