In these 6 weeks, it is one of the most unexpected courses that I have ever had. Design thinking theory is not difficult to understand but the tricky part is how do we apply it in real-life and how can we adjust our mindset to think from the user's point of view. Our instructors Michael , Shirley & Karen had provided a lot of support to us during the lessons and also in their leisure time to help us think and guide us to a user perspective direction.

Our instructors Michael , Shirley & Karen had provided a lot of support to us during the lessons and also in their leisure time to help us think and guide us to a user perspective direction. For the real case project, you will have a chance to be a consultant and speak with your client to work on their project. So it is not just a lecture. It is an "on-the-job" training and helps you to be a User Experience Designer. - JamesStudent • UX Design • Hong KongVerified by LinkedInOct 25, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Experience Design
This course was led by our instructor Michael, a quite personable designer, who specializes in the entreprise design thinking approach to design. Throughout the course he reinforced these principles which we put into effect for our final project with a real world client that we worked with. I feel like this class really put me in the mindsets of both user and designer when considering any given experience and ultimately set a good groundwork for my further work in ux design and research....This course was led by our instructor Michael, a quite personable designer, who specializes in the entreprise design thinking approach to design.

enjoyed my learning here
I enjoyed my instructor Michael's interactive teaching so much. It didn't make me feel it was a long night after work.
I have to say it was an intensive course coz i've learned to make design prompts, user research, ideation, prototyping, storytelling, and even finished a project in just 6 weeks. Really appreciate there was a chance to meet real clients and other design lead. - Sze YeungGraduate • Data Science & Machine Learning • Hong KongVerified by LinkedInOct 11, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A Solid Foundation and Stepping Stone
Data science involves quite a big set of skill and knowledge. While some people prefer get it from full time course, others may opt for self learning, a six-weeks part time course may be a suitable middle ground.

The Data Science and Machine Learning course of H Academy covers all the essentials, can make a complete novice grasping Python basic coding, doing data exploration and visualization with a dataframe and do some model buildings in six weeks time. The instructor, Clare Liu, is a practitioner in the trade with a keen eye of explaining difficult ideas to lay persons, offers practical tips and resources for further exploration.
While it's impossible to squeeze everything into 24 hours of classes, what the course does is providing a solid foundation for acquiring more skills. And its perks of career coaching, the connection with its sister career platform Happyer, and the idea of forming a learning community with organizing activities like hackathons, are big plusses for the ones who want to get into the trade. - Sebastian LauGraduate • UX Design • Hong KongVerified by LinkedInOct 11, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Surprisingly Comprehensive

- Also taught some transferable skills, like storytelling and career planning
- Was able to utilize everything we learned in the project
Cons:

The bootcamp’s curriculum focuses on teaching essential, foundational and in-demand skills and doesn’t put any non-essentials and outdated things into their course curriculum. I enjoyed working on the projects at the end of each module. I learnt the most while working on projects as I was able to consolidate and practice what I had learnt in each module.
Career support is very personalized. It provided me with many opportunities to get connected with current job market, to work on real projects and how to effectively pivot my career in a new direction.- Julio OrrCEO • Student • Digital Marketing • Hong KongVerified by LinkedInAug 15, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
No doubt the BEST academy in Hong Kong!
When I was considering upskilling in digital marketing, what was most important to me was the background of the instructor as this is everything. My instructor for Digital Marketing was previously a Head of Product Marketing at PayMe HSBC and had been teaching for 5 years in General Assembly and now H Academy. My expectations were high! Well, it didn't disappoint, the course was well structured, pace and highly informative.

An intensively packed yet rewarding learning experience
If you are an UX newbie who is lost and don't know where to start, this course is definitely a perfect starting point for you.
Our instructor, Michael Tam, is the best UX instructor one could ever find.

He always willing to go for the extra mile to support and help everyone of us when needed, despite his hectic schedule.

Our instructor, Michael Tam, is the best UX instructor one could ever find. Not only he is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the industry, he also has immense passion in teaching and towards people. He always willing to go for the extra mile to support and help everyone of us when needed, despite his hectic schedule. In this course, apart from being able to learn design thinking in very well-structured way, I am also starting to think of my career path and to tell my unique story based on my background and work experiences.
Another exciting part of this course is that you are able to work on a real-life project from scratch. It is a safe space for you to "learn by doing", as you can constantly loop and bring new ideas and solutions to the table, while fail quickly and cheaply, which is something you can't or can be rarely done in the real business world. It is also a golden chance to get a real taste of UX design in the real world and learn how to design a solution that balances between business, tech and most importantly, users.
Last but not the least, you will get to meet and network with like-minded people who shares the same passion as you! Definitely recommending this course to anyone who wishes to upskill themselves! - Joey HAlumni Engagement Manager • Graduate • UX Design • Hong KongVerified by LinkedInJun 04, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Passionate instructor who will share everything with you to ensure your success
The reason why I chose to enrol in a physical UX course was 1) the instructor had great experience and background, 2) I can interact and ask the instructor any questions 3) tap into the instructor's professional network 4) meet other aspiring UX designers and be in a community. The best part of the program was being able to work on a real business problem.

Not only I get to be hands-on and learn all the concepts and skills right away, but I am also able to build a connection with a potential future employer. This project also gives me a great case study in my portfolio and help me stand out from the crowd as it isn't a hypothetical case study. Through this project I also worked closely with teammates and the business stakeholders, which is a great chance to taste how a real UX job will be. - King ChanGraduate • Hong KongVerified by LinkedInJun 03, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best UX class
Michael is very clear with all the content he delivers in class. He helps to clarify many common misconception about UX and design and help us to think from user perspective. I like how Michael emphasizes us to get the concept right instead of overly focusing on UI related matter. I appreciate his and TA’s effort to be responsive to students questions on discord. - Crystal SStudent • UX Design • Hong KongVerified by LinkedInMay 27, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Inspiring & Practical Course!
The course is practical as we could have chances to work with real life cases. We have learnt basic UX concepts as well as worked on different cases to apply the concepts learnt. It gives me the full picture of what UX design looks like. There are a lot of interactive sessions which can truly train us to think deeper. I really enjoy this course as it is not just focused on the theory part, but also with interaction and practical projects!

For H Academy, they have provided various support to us! After joining this course, they have provided several career workshops which are truly useful and practical! I learnt more on how to revamp my resume & linkedin from those workshops. Also appreciate them for providing 1on1 career session to us!
In overall, I really enjoy the course and find it inspiring and useful!
