Serious UX learning for serious practitioners

IxDF has become a meaningful part of how I continue to grow as a senior product designer.

For me, the biggest value has been in the masterclasses. The format fits well into a busy schedule. They move beyond foundational UX theory and focus on how to think and make decisions in complex, real-world situations.

I’ve used IxDF both as a structured learning tool and as a reference when I’m in the middle of solving specific challenges. The content is clear and grounded in practical frameworks that translate directly into my day-to-day work – whether that’s shaping research, aligning stakeholders, evolving design work, or operating in the fast-moving world of AI.

One thing that has genuinely stood out to me is the support. Every time I’ve reached out, the IxDF team has responded quickly and been helpful in a very real, human way. That level of responsiveness adds a lot to the overall experience.

Overall, IxDF has been less about “taking courses” and more about continuously sharpening how I work. Especially valuable if you’re already experienced and want to operate with more clarity and precision in your practice.

Hi Morten,

Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed reflection; it truly means a lot!

I’m especially glad to hear that the Master Classes have been valuable for you and that they fit well into your schedule while still helping you tackle real-world decisions.

It’s especially great to hear that you’re using IxDF not just to learn, but as something you can actively rely on while working through real challenges; that’s exactly how we hope it supports experienced designers like you.

Your kind words about our support team mean a lot to us. We always strive to be responsive and human in our approach, so I’m really glad that it reflected in your experience.

Wishing you continued success as you keep sharpening your practice. We’re always here if you need anything along the way!

Avoid subscribing at all costs

Unwanted renewal, poor communication, no refund policy

Interaction Design Foundation renewed my membership and charged my card for another year without my explicit consent. I didn’t want to continue and only noticed the charge on my statement a few hours later.

When I asked for a refund and cancellation, they refused, citing a “no refunds on renewals” policy and only offering extra months, transfer, or donation of my membership instead of giving my money back.

They will send marketing emails WITH the renew information. Their renew email is called "Get ready for another great year with IxDF", with a lot of courses links, and THEN the renew information, so it is easy to skip.

As an EU consumer, I expect clear consent for renewals and fair treatment when I promptly say I don’t want the service.

Same as a lot of people here, and based on my experience, I can't recommend Interaction Design Foundation and strongly advise others to be very careful with their auto‑renewal.

Hi Débora,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m truly sorry to hear how frustrating this situation felt.

I completely understand how unexpected charges can be upsetting, especially when it’s not your intention. While our memberships are set to renew automatically, this is something we communicate across multiple touchpoints, including during sign-up, on the billing page, in reminder emails, and in our Terms of Use. That said, I’m sorry if this did not come across clearly in your case.

We always aim to be transparent while also keeping our communication accessible and helpful, but your feedback about the reminder email is noted and appreciated.

We genuinely care about creating a positive experience for our members, and I’m sorry that this situation led to a different impression. Your feedback is valuable and helps us improve.

Wishing you all the best going forward.

Warm regards,

I joined the IxDF because I was curious…

I joined the IxDF because I was curious about UX. How did it make a difference in the way I experienced products I loved and others that I didn't? I learned that it starts and ends with people. From the tools, methods and processes through the approach and the attitude of empathy the UX design method is human centred. An intuitive no-brainer, eh? But, in every situation in all my various career paths, I would be called on to advocate for the human centred perspective because, in the sturm & drang of product development, the critical human centred focus can be drowned out by the urgency of conflicting agendas. The call of ROI is very compelling but the faith in the UX process comes from the experience of its efficacy. It works. Time after time and the IxDF people helped me every step of the way by being very human themselves. Behind the programming are problem solvers, educators, mentors and friends. I endorse them without reservation.

Hi Scott,

Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful and beautifully expressed reflection. I really enjoyed reading about your journey from curiosity to a deep appreciation for human-centered design.

You captured something incredibly important, that UX truly starts and ends with people, even when competing priorities try to pull focus elsewhere. It’s inspiring to hear how you’ve been an advocate for that perspective across your career, and even more so that your belief in the process comes from real experience seeing it work.

Your kind words about our team mean a lot. We care deeply about supporting our members not just as learners, but as people, and it’s wonderful to hear that came through in your experience.

Thank you again for your trust and your wholehearted endorsement. Wishing you continued success as you keep championing human-centered design!

Great Team with fantastic knowledge

The Interaction Design Foundation (IxDF) offers excellent courses that are detailed, thoughtful, and taught by knowledgeable instructors. The material is well structured and genuinely helpful for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of UX and design principles.

What stood out to me most was their team. When I missed a payment, they were incredibly kind and understanding. Instead of immediately cutting off access, they reached out and worked with me to find solutions. They helped me save my data and even extended my off period until I was ready to join again.

That level of care and professionalism really reflects the kind of community IxDF has built. I highly recommend their platform to anyone interested in learning UX design.

UX Path

I was on crossroads of my career in October 2025, starting UX design path after years in different fields. I joined then one of free webinars of IxDF and thats how I found them. Now, 5 months later, I am confident Product Designer with couple of courses completed, enjoying networking meetings with other designers and building my portfolio. Mentor support is incredible in showing the right way and setting goals, and the trainings are totally worth it. I specifically enjoyed the Accessibility one.

If I could give less than a 1 star I…

If I could give less than a 1 star I would. This program was advertised to me as a chance to learn something new. It didn’t work out, I changed career paths, and time kept moving for me as a busy mom.

I realized a pending charge of almost $300 when I wasn’t aware they would just auto charge for a new year.

When I reached out about this letting them know I haven’t used the program in months and will not because I changed career paths they refused to stop the pending transaction and instead suggest I pay for someone else’s membership with the money they took from me.

Again I’m just a working mom, I don’t have $300 to spend on something I will not be using or to hand out to someone else.

This is something I would NOT do because if you’re not sure and your life moves fast like everyone’s does they are a cutthroat company that will take those $300 from you kicking and screaming wether you can afford it or not.

Hi Jocelyn,

I’m truly sorry that this situation caused you stress. I completely understand where you are coming from.

Our memberships renew each year automatically, and billing details are always visible in members’ profile, under the billing tab. We also send you a reminder email 2 weeks before your renewal. That said, we always review refund requests carefully and with empathy.

Following our recent communication, we have since issued a full refund for your renewal. We’re glad we were able to resolve this for you and hope this brings some peace of mind.

We genuinely wish you all the best in your new career path and future endeavors.

Difficult to cancel, AVOID

For a company teaching UX they engage in dark patterns that make cancelling a membership very expensive.

I will be brutally honest here, an email sent on the 1st January titled ‘Get ready for another great year with IxDF’ does not clearly look like a notice for automatic renewal or a warning that you're about to be charged £200+ – especially not when the crucial line of text advising about the automatic renewal and HOW you cancel is wedged in the middle of the email without emphasis.

Very dirty and dark UX practices. I contacted support about a refund and was told there's no option for a refund if you're no longer a new member (as in your account is older than a year) - the option is to cancel and lose access to everything you've paid for IMMEDIATELY or to pay it forward, which frankly is not an option. It's actually quite insulting they suggest that as if it's an equivalency to a refund.

I would honestly avoid. I used IDF to compliment my job and explore additional learning in my own time, but the course materials are very outdated. Personally I'll only be using accreditated sources from now on, now that I realise IDF is a predatory company.

Update: standard boiler plate response. IDF did respond back and repeat that the only options available to me are to cancel my membership and lose access immediately to everything I've already been charged for, or to pay it forward (i.e, transfer my subscription to another account or to a friend) which frankly, is not a good option to provide.

Imagine you want to cancel your Netflix subscription and they say no refund even though you've just been charged without prior notification, but oh hey, IF YOU WANT you can "pay it forward" and give your subscription to someone else.

What bs. Scam company, be very careful if you want to try them out. Search for honest reviews online by searching the company name on Reddit and LinkedIn - I'm not the only one who's been hit with this tomfoolery.

Hi Jessica,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience so openly. I’m genuinely sorry to hear how frustrating this situation has felt for you.

I’d like to clarify, for transparency, that when you contacted us, we weren’t able to offer a refund on the renewed membership in line with our policy. However, this was not the only path presented. In good faith, we shared several alternative ways to help ensure the renewal still held value for you, rather than simply asking you to cancel and lose access immediately.

That said, I fully respect that none of those options felt right for you, and I understand how that can add to the frustration, especially when money and expectations are involved.

Your feedback regarding how our renewal communication was perceived has been noted and shared internally. We continuously review how we communicate to ensure clarity and fairness, and feedback like yours plays an important role in that process.

All the best,

Excellent courses and outstanding customer service

Interaction Design Foundation is genuinely one of the best learning platforms available for anyone looking to deepen their design skills. The breadth and quality of the courses are excellent, covering everything from fundamentals through to more advanced and specialised areas.

I personally saw a noticeable improvement in design capability and confidence across my team after our org started using IxDF, and the structure of the courses makes them easy to follow and apply in real work. The certificates at the end are also a great touch and a nice way to recognise progress.

On top of that, the customer service experience was outstanding! Very responsive, thoughtful, and handled with real care. It’s clear there’s a strong, values-driven team behind the platform.

Highly recommended for individuals and teams looking to invest seriously in design education.

I’m especially glad to hear that the course structure made it easy to apply learning directly to real work, and that the certificates felt like a meaningful way to recognise progress.

Your kind words about our customer service mean a great deal to us. We care deeply about the people behind every membership, so hearing that this came through in your experience is truly encouraging.

This is one of the best design platform!

This is one of the most valuable, affordable, and genuinely human-centered educational design platforms I’ve ever discovered.

It offers plenty of courses and a wealth of information that remains relevant over time, because it focuses not on fleeting trends, but on strong fundamentals that help build a solid design mindset step by step - like constructing a building brick by brick.

I also want to highlight their outstanding support. Rikke is always there - responsive, attentive, and genuinely supportive. She answers questions, helps work through doubts, and truly cares. When I was going through financial difficulties and couldn’t renew my subscription on time, Rikke reassured me, explained that I could return later without any issues, and even made me an offer I simply couldn’t refuse. Thanks to that, I know for sure I’ll be coming back as soon as I sort things out.

Every cent is absolutely worth it!

The only thing I’d love to see improved is the addition of more new courses :)

Hi Valeryia,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this incredibly thoughtful and generous review. Reading your words truly means a lot to me and to everyone at IxDF.

I’m especially touched by how you described our focus on fundamentals: learning design “brick by brick.” That mindset is at the very core of what we aim to do. We aim to help people build a strong, lasting design foundation that supports them well beyond trends and tools.

Thank you as well for your kind words about our support. Life can be unpredictable, and learning journeys don’t always follow a straight line. I’m really glad we could support you during a challenging moment and help make things feel a little lighter. Knowing that you plan to return when the time is right truly means a great deal to us. We’ll be here, whenever you’re ready.

And thank you for the thoughtful suggestion about adding more new courses. We hear this often (which we love!), and we’re continuously working on expanding and refining our course library while staying true to quality and depth.

Wishing you all the very best as you move forward, and thank you again for being such a wonderful part of our community.

The Interaction Design Foundation was a key factor in my development as a designer. The content was always well-structured, easy to access, and based on rigorous research, which over time made it easier for me to develop my knowledge of UX and human-centered design.

What I value most about IxDF is its capability to facilitate continuous learning for users at any stage of the design career ladder. Whether you are reinforcing fundamentals or delving into more strategic subjects, clarity is provided without being trivial. I also like the very strong global community and the chance to learn from practitioners and researchers all over the world.

All in all, IxDF has been a trustworthy and significant source for learning throughout my journey, and I am well pleased to recommend it to designers who wish to keep evolving in an intentional and profound manner.

AI won’t replace you

“AI won’t replace you, but a designer using AI will.”

This motto really resonated with me as I completed the AI for Designers course from the Interaction Design Foundation, led by Ioana Teleanu.

What I took away is simple but powerful: AI isn’t here to take over the creative work designers do — it extends what we can do. Designers who integrate AI thoughtfully into research, ideation, and workflow will be more efficient, more innovative, and ultimately more competitive.

AI isn’t perfect — it still needs human judgement, direction, and values — but when used well, it elevates the design process at every stage. I’m excited to keep applying what I’ve learned and continue growing.

Big thanks to Ioana and the team at IxDF — this one’s going on my career journey board.

Anyone can write a Trustpilot review. People who write reviews have ownership to edit or delete them at any time, and they’ll be displayed as long as an account is active.

Companies can ask for reviews via automatic invitations. Labeled Verified, they’re about genuine experiences.
