Will the virtual courses be recorded?
No. These are live events that rely heavily on audience interaction and small-group activities in online breakout rooms. Thus, a recording would not have the same instructional value, thus we will not offer this.
Yes. This not only speeds registration but also ensures you'll get a seat in the sessions you want.
Can I get UX Certified at this event?
Yes. Attend at least 5 courses and pass all 5 exams to earn an NN/G UX Certificate. You can take the 5 courses all at this event, or take some at this event and the rest at a future event.
How do exams work for UX Certification?
You must sign in at the start of class, and attend the full day. At the end of the course each day, the online exam will be available for that day's classes. You will be able to log in, pay exam fees (if they were not already paid when you registered), and take the exam. You can take your exams the same day, or any time within 35 calendar days after the conference.
