“Design used to be seasoning you’d sprinkle on for taste;
now it’s the flour you need at the start of the recipe.”

FAQs
  • How are the courses in this program different from other courses?

    Each course is facilitated by a team of Adeptic Catalysts who bring several decades of experience across the areas of design, usability and user research. They dwell on the foundations behind each of these areas and help cohorts use their learnings to thrive and innovate at work.

  • Do cohorts need to have a technical background to participate in courses?

    Cohorts need not have prior technical experience. If you have worked with tech-enabled tools, that gives you some advantage. We help you learn a few essential tools that give you an edge with your work.

  • What is the expected time commitment?

    The minimum commitment is 4 hours and up to 6 hours of live virtual sessions with the catalysts, each week. As a cohort, you have offline work that you do in groups which may take up to 2 hours per week as a group effort. We try to make most of our sessions working sessions where you get to practise what you learn during the class, substantiated with curated content that you can consume at your own pace.

  • What happens if a cohort member misses a class?

    All our live virtual sessions are recorded and will be made available as soon as the class is completed. You also have access to community channels and your cohort to make up for what you missed.

  • How big will each cohort be?
    1. At Adeptic, we recommend a minimum of 6 participants in a cohort and a maximum of 12 for an impactful learning experience.
    2. Teams can sign up as a cohort.
  • Are there any prerequisites for any of the courses under this program?

    No there aren’t!

  • What reference content do you provide?

    We pride ourselves in curating the best content for each course which will be made available throughout the course and at the end of every course session. We use some slides that will be available to the cohort as well. We will also provide you with templates and frameworks that you can download and use.

  • What is the instructional style used in courses?

    We believe in cooperative learning between cohort and catalyst. We provide safe spaces for dialogue, discussion and reflection of learning while using a variety of activities like role-playing and debates.

  • Will there be a certificate at the end of course?

    Yes. Every participant will get a Course Completion Certificate with their team’s photo.

  • Will any course under this program make me a UX Designer?

    Courses under Thinking Design will make your team a higher-performing one. Every individual in the team will get sharper at their role – whether as a Product Manager, Engineer or Startup Co-founder. Gaining an understanding of design basics and an essential appreciation of design principles and techniques will benefit the product you’re building.

    As for UX Designers, the courses in this track will help you refresh your skills. Level set with your team so that your work is integrated better and your contributions are valued more. In short, make your life easier!
