“The course structure was the main reason I chose Xi - mixing theory in a clear succinct fashion, continuous practical application of project work and ongoing collaboration with our classmates and mentors”
Sitara Ramakrishnan
The course structure was the main reason I chose Xi - mixing theory in a clear succinct fashion, continuous practical application of project work and ongoing collaboration with our classmates and mentors. The fact that we move through the entire end to end design process in a rapid yet structured fashion with weekly outputs was a huge bonus. It allowed me to clearly see the evolution of my project overtime before the final showcase.

I can highly recommend Academy Xi and have become a massive fan of what they are achieving. The advice I would give to anyone thinking about taking the leap and changing their career/life is: your attitude will determine your outcome. If you go in with an open mind and positive determination you will succeed. Thank you Academy Xi for successfully helping me to achieve my new career/future.
“I felt a sense of community that I didn’t with university training”
Oshi Paranavitane
Academy Xi online training was completely different. I made so many new connections and I felt a sense of community that I didn’t with university training. The class sizes were small, so we actually got to know each other - it was way more engaging.
“I walked away with new skills that will help my professional development”
Adrian Rankin
I found the online course with Academy Xi easy to access both on my laptop, iPad and Google Pixel. This gave me the flexibility to complete the course when and where it suited me. I really enjoyed the quality of the content, videos tutorials were relevant and engaging. I walked away with new skills that will help my professional development.
