First of all, look at the faculty.
Needless to say, a great teacher makes a great apprentice, and a good teacher brings out good students. As for how to look at the strength of teachers, we can look at their teachers' works, understand their previous work experience and what classic project cases they have brought.
Second, the curriculum.
The Internet industry is ever-changing, so the courses we study should keep up with the pace of the industry and ensure that the skills we learn are needed by the profession. Let's look at the UI design industry, such as smart watches, VR/AR, in-vehicle systems, touch screens and other multi-platform UIs, which have developed recently, so this is also an essential course for us, so as to meet the needs of the next enterprise, find a good job and get a promotion and salary increase. Don't choose those institutions whose syllabuses are too old. It's useless to learn them. I can only go to work in a very old and mediocre enterprise, and my life is hopeless.
Third, after-school counseling.
This is very important. After all, design is a craft. If you really want to learn it well, it is very important to practice it again and again. Every time you practice after class, you should have a teacher to guide you to revise, help you complete your study, and give you a guiding comment on your homework so that you can improve quickly. Otherwise, class is listening, and sometimes you get stuck when you encounter problems. If there is no guidance, it is difficult to enter the later design, which is not much better than self-study, and the same effect is not good. In order to ensure the teaching effect and take care of each student's individual learning progress, good teaching institutions will adopt one-on-one tutoring. However, due to the high cost, it is difficult for most sports institutions to guarantee one-on-one tutoring. After observation, there are online institutions 1 to 1. This is probably because online institutions have no physical classroom costs, which can save money and provide better teaching results. .
Fourth, project training
This should be the core course of training institutions, so that the learned professional knowledge can be put into practice, the practical work experience of the project can be increased, and works can be accumulated for future job interviews. It's best to practice in a famous enterprise project, which can broaden your mind and vision. Do more projects, and your work will be handy. Even some institutions will directly practice the business projects of first-class Internet companies for students, and the teachers will comment after finishing, explaining the gap between the students' works and the business stereotypes of the masters and the promotion path. The unspoken rule for designers to get interview opportunities is to provide as good design works as possible. If you study for a long time and don't have a good job, it's really a waste of study, even the opportunity of interview, and a waste of tuition and time.
abstract
UI design is a technology industry, and there is a technology, so you won't lose money wherever you go. As the saying goes, having a skill is not as good as having a rich family, which is the reason. With the development of the Internet in recent years, UI design is a hot profession, with a great demand for posts, and the salary is twice as high as that of similar occupations.
Good technology, don't worry about development wherever you go; On the contrary, without good technology, it is difficult to develop anywhere. So for some quasi-UI designers who have never been in contact with this industry and want to engage in this field, you have to choose a good training institution. Only a good training institution can produce good students. If you don't choose the right institution, what you have learned is not practical, and it is not good for you to find a job after graduation, then you will definitely regret it! Not to mention wasting money, it is more important to waste time and energy!
