Fast-track your career with expert-designed career paths

Uxcel Career Paths are structured learning programs that guide you step-by-step toward job readiness in specific product-related roles. Each path includes targeted courses, assessments, project briefs, and resources that help you build practical skills aligned with a real-world role—like UX/UI Designer, Product Designer, UX Researcher, or UX Writer.

Currently, we offer Career Paths for UX/UI and Product Designers, with more roles coming soon.

You don’t need any prior experience to begin. Career Paths are designed for beginners and career switchers, with content that progresses from foundational to advanced topics. All materials are in English, and the only requirement is a willingness to learn. At the end of your path, you’ll take a final exam to earn your Professional UX Certification.

That depends on your interests and goals. If you're not sure where to start, we recommend exploring a path that aligns with your career aspirations—whether you're interested in user research, product design, or writing for digital experiences. You’ll build a Skill Graph as you progress, which helps you visualize your strengths and development areas.

Career Paths are especially helpful for early-career professionals or those transitioning into UX-related roles. If you're already experienced, you might prefer to go directly to the certification exam (see below).

Yes. If you already have significant experience in UX or product design, you can take the Professional UX Certification exam without completing a Career Path. The Career Path is optional and intended for those who want structured preparation or are entering the field.

Career Paths are included with a Uxcel Pro subscription. To complete a path and take the certification exam, there is an additional certification fee that starts at $145, depending on the level. Pro members receive a discount on all certification exams.

Yes—Career Paths are designed to help you build the skills, confidence, and proof of ability needed to pursue a UX-related job. You’ll follow a structured roadmap of lessons, projects, and assessments that mirror real-world expectations. While success depends on your effort and engagement, Uxcel’s program is built to support job readiness from start to finish.

Yes. Once you complete all required lessons and pass the final exam, you’ll earn a Professional UX Design Certification. This certification validates your skills and can be shared with employers or added to your resume, portfolio, or LinkedIn profile.

Each offering serves a different purpose:

- Career Paths offer a full learning journey, combining lessons, projects, and assessments into one structured experience that ends in certification.
- Courses are focused modules that let you dive deep into individual topics like usability testing, interaction design, or product thinking—ideal for targeted learning.
- Professional Certification is an exam-only credential that validates your skills without requiring completion of a full learning path—best for experienced professionals.
