Training – Foundation Level User Experience, CPUX-F

This training introduces you to the world of usability and user experience with particular focus on the four pillars of usability: analysis, user requirements, design, and evaluation.

This two-day training requires no special prerequisites. It is intended for people who want a quick introduction to the UX field, for example product owners, designers, developers, marketing people, and other stakeholders. It is also relevant for UX professionals who want to check or prove their knowledge.

The training is based on UXQB’s recognized CPUX-F curriculum.

Optional, independent CPUX-F certification is available from Certible and other certification providers. The CPUX-F certification costs approximately 300€.

I offer this training as public training or as in-house training. Contact me for details.

If you are asked “Do you speak usability?” and you have a CPUX-F certificate, you can confidently answer, “Yes!”


Content

Two versions of this training are available:

  • A two-day training
  • A half-day crash course

Both versions of the training cover all 125 terms in UXQB’s CPUX-F curriculum. Key terms like usability, user experience, interview, user requirement, prototype, and usability test are covered in some detail with definitions and examples. Throughout the training, participants can check their understanding through quick quiz questions and exercises.

Both versions of the training prepare students for the optional CPUX-F certification exam. If you take the crash course, I strongly recommend some additional study before the certification exam.

In the two-day course, about 50% of the time is spent on exercises. The crash course does not include exercises; it includes a mock-exam with 18 new quiz questions.

CPUX-F certification

To obtain the CPUX-F certificate, you must score at least 70% when answering 40 multiple-choice questions within 75 minutes. Each question has six possible answers of which 1, 2 or 3 are correct. The correct number of answers is clearly indicated for each question. If the exam language is not your native language, you have 90 minutes (rather than 75 minutes) to answer the questions. A complete set of 40 sample exam questions is freely available.
