Product design courses can help you learn user research, prototyping, visual communication, and usability testing. You can build skills in creating user personas, conducting A/B testing, and iterating designs based on feedback. Many courses introduce tools like Sketch, Figma, and Adobe XD, that support crafting user interfaces and visual elements, as well as methods for collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure designs meet user needs and business goals.
