Investing in UX training and certification in today’s technology-driven environment can take the professional career to the next level. The training can help learners achieve the necessary edge to deal with technological shifts, work in large-scale environments, and gain influence. Today, with UX being one of the top five in-demand talents globally, a professional training facility where one may obtain the necessary competence to make oneself future-ready is an urgent need. Furthermore, putting together a UX training programme is simple by gathering content from the web.

However, it is imperative to develop and optimize an effective programme based on a profound grasp of realworld needs, and the crucial requirements to work in the field take decades. Hence, investing in a curriculum widely recognized as the gold standard in UX training and certification makes complete sense. HFI Training has been providing outstanding certifications for persons in the User Experience market with great success for the past two decades.

The CXA TM (Certified User Experience Analyst) curriculum is more advanced in UX strategy, innovation, persuasion, and UX practice maturity; one can obtain the essential skills required to operate in the UX sector.

Furthermore, HFI Training has been delivering tailored & relevant offerings that will assist UX professionals and organizations in achieving their objectives. HFI Training has expanded its capabilities in various areas over the last five years, in line with the growth and proliferation of experience as a critical differentiator for corporations and arcades.

“We can deliver quality content and learn in a live mode online, and we have assisted over candidates from various geographies, time zones, and experiences in coming together and understanding UX nuances throughout the pandemic. We broaden our understanding of UX methods, science, and processes to include roles and functions that support, sponsor, or consume UX work", says Eric Schaffer (PhD, CPE, CXA, CUA), CEO & Founder, Human Factors International. HFI training has been developing and delivering customized training programmes for professionals in positions such as product managers, developers, business analysts, product engineers, product designers, and

marketing, among other portfolios for domains such as BFSI, Travel and Tourism, IT services, Appliances, and so on. Historically, many such professionals lacked a structured understanding of the field and often had limited knowledge of the breadth, depth, and monetary value of UX activities.

HFI training has consistently advocated and evangelized UX and User centricity on a variety of platforms, including webinars, corporate workshops, open conferences, and short sessions for both specific and general audiences. In addition, HFI training has taken part in short sessions at colleges and educational institutes to help other disciplines understand, support, and embrace user-centred design principles.
