I had an amazing time at Barcelona Code School. Anyone who is looking for intensive and proactive course I would really recommend it, it helps you to be ready for the job market!
My time at Barcelona Code School was life changing in the best way. Chris is so knowledgeable, kind and talented, and his constant encouragement really highlighted my strengths, and inspired me to face (and overcome) my fears as a newbie UX/UI designer. He never allowed me or my fellow students to indulge in self doubt, and I believe it's because of this that we were able to overcome any design challenges we encountered in the most fun and meaningful way.
It was truly a pleasure to have him as an instructor and I'll forever be grateful for his constant encouragement, and for believing in me from day one and even after completing the program. He also has an awesome sense of humour and excellent music taste! A big thank you to the BCS team ☺️☺️ I too highly recommend this course!
I completed a 9-week UX/UI Design Bootcamp Course at Barcelona Code School, and it exceeded my expectations. The course transformed my design thinking and approach. The teaching methods were excellent, and I learned a lot.
A special thanks to my instructor, Chris Kelly—he’s patient, dedicated, and ensures every student understands and applies the material effectively.
I highly recommend this course and the amazing team at Barcelona Code School!

Every digital product today competes on user experience. It’s not enough for apps and websites to work – they need to be intuitive, efficient, and built around real user needs.
UX design is the process behind that – combining research, psychology, and structured problem-solving to create products that people actually use and businesses can grow with.
This course teaches you how to apply that process in practice – so you can design, test, and improve real products using proven UX methodologies.
You don’t need any previous experience to start. The course is designed to take you from zero to a solid, job-ready foundation in UX design.
You’ll learn step by step – from user research and problem definition to prototyping and testing – with a clear structure and continuous guidance.
With small groups and personalized mentorship, you won’t get stuck or fall behind. You’ll build skills, confidence, and real projects throughout the program.
All you need is a laptop and commitment. We’ll guide you through the rest.
If you already have experience in design, development, or product roles, you’ll be able to build on your existing skills and structure them with UX methodology.
The course will help you move beyond visuals and intuition into research-driven, validated design decisions – the key difference between design and UX.
You’ll work on more complex challenges, refine your process, and create portfolio projects that demonstrate how you think and solve problems.
