Enroll in This Career Program

If you care deeply about clear and engaging communication, this certificate program turns your writing skills into a career in UX writing and content design. No prior design skills needed. You’ll build on the communication and writing skills you already have.

UX writers and content designers choose the words people see inside products.

  • Core skills: You’ll master microcopy, onboarding, error messages, content strategy, and human-centered AI conversations. Learn to make complex products feel simple and intuitive through the right words at the right time.

  • AI skills: Companies like Google and Meta want UX writers who can design content for AI products, write for conversational AI, and use AI to accelerate their workflow. This program builds all three.

  • Foundational design skills: You'll learn the psychology, research, and design thinking behind great UX – perception, memory, personas, journey mapping, usability testing – so you understand the full product context you'll write for. That's what separates a UX writer from a copywriter.

  • Learn from 26 industry leaders who help you build your skills one step at a time.

  • Build 3–10 job-ready case studies with expert guidance to help you land your first UX writing or content design role.
