Usability Expert Review Training - London

For people in design teams who need rapid methods for assessing usability, "How to carry out an expert review" is a 1-day usability training course that will show you how to spot usability problems in prototypes and finished products. Unlike courses in usability testing, this course teaches you how to find and fix usability problems without involving end users.

After attending this course, you will be able to carry out a range of usability inspection methods, such as Nielsen's heuristic evaluation and a cognitive walkthrough. As well as a set of comprehensive notes, you will leave the seminar with detailed usability checklists, workbooks and step-by-step instructions to help you carry out the most valuable techniques.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
-Appreciate the difference between a usability inspection and someone's personal opinion.
-Learn and practice some quick techniques for carrying out usability reviews of prototypes and finished products.
