Is a course the best way to learn UX writing?

Not everyone needs a course to learn UX writing. But a course like ours can offer you the fundamentals in a structured way, without having to search and collect all the resources yourself. Plus, you’ll get feedback from real people who work in the industry. That’s worth a lot when it comes to finding mistakes or things you might miss on your own.

Is UX writing worth learning even with AI?

Yes, we think UX writing is important to learn even when using artificial intelligence. Although AI can be a great tool when writing for user interfaces, you still need to know what separates “good” UX writing from “bad” UX writing.
