UI UX Design Course in Nepal, 3-Month Beginner-Friendly Training
Learn UI UX design from user research and wireframing to high-fidelity prototyping, design systems, usability testing, and developer handoff. Build a professional portfolio in Figma. Live classes at New Baneshwor, Kathmandu with weekend and evening batches. No prior design experience needed.
What This Course Is
The UI UX Design course at Next Minds Infosys is a 3-month, project-based training program designed specifically for beginners who want to enter one of the most in-demand creative-tech careers in Nepal. You do not need design experience, a design degree or any special software. You need curiosity about how digital products work and a willingness to learn a structured design process.
The course covers the complete product design workflow: understanding users through research, organizing information through architecture, sketching ideas through wireframes, building interactive prototypes in Figma, testing those designs with real users, creating scalable design systems, and preparing design files for developer handoff. By the end of 3 months you will have a professional portfolio with 3 to 5 case studies ready to show in job interviews.
We built this course around what employers in Nepal actually look for. When companies like Leapfrog, Fusemachines or Cotiviti interview a UI UX candidate, they do not ask you to define "design thinking". They open your Figma file, click through your prototype, and ask: "why did you make this decision?" Every module prepares you to answer that with clarity, backed by research and tested through usability feedback.
UI UX design is one of the most accessible entry points into Nepal's tech industry. Unlike development or data science it does not require coding, math or a technical degree. What it does require is a structured learning path, the right tools, and enough project work to build a portfolio.
The fee is NPR 25,000 as of August 2026. Installment payment options are available.
Common Mistakes We See in Every Cohort
We have trained 220+ students in this course. These are the three patterns we correct most often.
Skipping research and jumping straight to visual design. Every cohort has students who open Figma on day one and start designing screens with no user research, no personas and no user flows. The result is always the same: a design that looks nice but solves the wrong problem. Module 1 exists for a reason — research comes first.
Treating the portfolio as an afterthought. Students spend three months building skills then panic-assemble a portfolio in the last week. That is backwards. Here, portfolio building happens alongside every module; each project is a case study in progress. By graduation your portfolio is already done, documented and tested through mock interviews.
Designing for themselves instead of for users. The biggest mindset shift is moving from "I think this looks good" to "does the user understand how to use this?" We see students fall in love with a layout or colour scheme and resist changing it even when usability tests show users are confused. The point of testing is to find problems — your opinion is not the user's experience.

Who Is This UI/UX Design Course For?
Creative individuals who want a tech career without coding — UI UX is the creative side of tech, and it pays well
Developers who build functional interfaces but want to design their own products properly
Marketing and content professionals who currently wait on someone else for landing pages and app screens
Entrepreneurs who want to design and test their own MVP prototype before paying for development
Students and fresh graduates entering a high-demand field with a lower barrier than development or data science
Career switchers from any non-technical field — UI UX rewards empathy, communication and problem-solving
What You Will Learn
6 modules- What UX design actually is, and how it fits into the product development process
- Design thinking framework: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test
- User research methods: interviews, contextual inquiry, surveys and observation
- Creating user personas from real research data rather than assumptions
- User journey mapping and experience mapping
- Competitor analysis: evaluating existing products for UX strengths and weaknesses
- Problem statement definition and "How Might We" framing
- Information architecture: site maps, content hierarchy, navigation structures and card sorting
- User flows and task flows for key product interactions
Tools You Will Get Hands-On Practice With
Real Projects, Not Template Exercises
Every project solves a real design problem. You will not follow a step-by-step tutorial to recreate someone else's design. You will research, ideate, design, test and iterate your own solutions.
During the 3 months you will complete portfolio projects including:
- 1A mobile app design end to end: research, personas, user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity screens, interactive prototype and usability test results
- 2A responsive web design: landing page, multi-page site or dashboard with desktop and mobile breakpoints
- 3A design system with a component library: buttons, forms, navigation, cards, modals and documentation
- 4A usability testing project: testing an existing product, documenting findings and redesigning the problem areas
- 5A capstone case study: a full end-to-end product design from research to developer-ready handoff
These projects become your portfolio. When a design team at a startup or agency in Kathmandu asks "show me your work", you will have 3 to 5 documented, tested, polished case studies. Your portfolio is not an afterthought — it is the course outcome.
The Tools You Will Actually Use
Figma is the primary tool throughout all six modules; the rest support specific stages of the process.
