Upskilling Teams Globally
Why students join
You don’t need another certificate. You need case studies that get shortlisted.
2
projects
Portfolio-ready case studies
One UX case study and one UI case study, each built from research to final screens. Written, reviewed and polished until a recruiter reads it to the end.
Live
projects
Real projects, not dummy briefs
You work on real product problems from Indian startups and GoProtoz studio work, so your case studies show real constraints and real decisions.

Internship at GoProtoz
Join our design studio on live projects, sit in real reviews, and add genuine work experience to your resume.
1:1
portfolio review
Personal portfolio review
A senior designer reviews your portfolio, resume and LinkedIn with you, one on one, before you start applying.
UI/UX skills first, AI-powered throughout. You learn the design craft properly, then use tools like ChatGPT, Claude, UX Pilot, Relume and Lovable to work faster, the way modern teams do.
Who this is for
Built for career switchers.
Not for absolute first steps.
You should join if
You’re a fresher or graduate who knows Figma but isn’t getting shortlisted
You’re a graphic, visual or web designer moving into product design
You’re a developer, engineer, BA or marketer switching into UI/UX
You can attend live classes and practise regularly between sessions
This is not for you if
You have never used Figma or any design tool
You want a certificate more than a portfolio
You expect AI to design while you watch
You can’t give consistent time for 9 weeks
New to Figma?
You’re not shut out. It’s a short on-ramp, not a closed door.
01
Learn Figma basics
Frames, auto-layout, components and a simple type system.
02
Make a few screens
Recreate 2–3 app screens you use every day.
03
Join the next batch
Our advisor will tell you honestly when you’re ready.

How we teach
Less lecture. More “what would you do here?”
Story first
Learn inside a real team
Each module opens with a real problem from an Indian product team, with a real deadline.
Build every week
Theory under 30%
Most of your time goes into designing, testing and shipping pieces of your two projects.
AI at every stage
Not a bolt-on week
You use the right AI tool at the right step, from Day 1, and learn when to switch it off.
Critique, not grades
Feedback every week
Live group critique plus written personal feedback. With 15 seats, every file gets looked at.
Your toolkit
Industry tools for design. AI tools where they actually help.
UX & UI design tools
The core tools you design, prototype and hand off in, every week.

How each week runs
Three live sessions a week. Practice in between.

Hands-on build of your project with mentors in the room.
90 min
Critique
Share your work, get live group critique and written personal feedback.
Self paced
Project work
Finish the week’s deliverables. Mentors answer doubts on the community channel.
Honest note: the live sessions are only part of the work. Your case studies get built in self-practice, and Week 3 (M5) is the heaviest. Plan your 9 weeks before you join.
Month 3 · Internship
The month most courses skip.
Knowing design and working as a designer are different things. After Week 9, you join the GoProtoz studio team on live client projects: real reviews, real deadlines. Then a senior designer rebuilds your portfolio with you, one on one.

Who’s teaching this
Taught by designers who ship every week.

Udhayashakar D · Founder, GoProtoz
“We don’t train people to use AI tools. We train designers who know when to trust them and when to overrule them.”
GoProtoz is a UI/UX design studio headquartered in Bengaluru, with offices in Germany and the USA. Your mentors work on client projects in fintech, healthtech, IoT and enterprise software.
✓
Senior product designers from the GoProtoz studio
✓
AI workflows used on real client work, not demos
✓
Guest critiques at the end of each project
Our commitments to you
Straight answers, before you pay a rupee.
✓
An honest fit call
A 15-minute call before you pay. If your Figma basics aren’t ready, we’ll tell you and point you to what to learn first.
✓
Only 15 seats
A hard cap, not a sales trick. It’s the limit for giving every student real, written feedback each week.
✓
No fake job guarantees
We don’t promise placements. We promise the work that gets you shortlisted, and we review it with you.
✓
Everything recorded
Miss a session? Watch it later. Your feedback is based on your submitted work, not attendance.
✓
Your work stays yours
Both case studies are yours to publish on your portfolio, Behance, LinkedIn or Figma Community.
✓
Easy to pay
EMI options at checkout, and an L&D reimbursement letter if your company is sponsoring you.
FAQs
Have questions?
We’ve got answers.
Can’t find your answer?
Talk to our team. We’ll help you pick the right plan, or tell you honestly if you should wait for the next batch.
Is this a UI/UX course or an AI course?
UI/UX first. You learn research, UX, visual design and design systems properly. AI tools are used inside that process to help you work faster, like in today’s product teams.
I only know basic Figma. Is that enough?
Yes, if you can build a frame, use auto-layout and create a simple component. We teach the rest. If you’ve never used Figma, finish a short fundamentals track first.
What’s the difference between the ₹80,000 and ₹60,000 plans?
The course is identical. The ₹80,000 plan adds a 1-month internship on live GoProtoz projects, a 1:1 personalised portfolio review, and resume, LinkedIn and mock interview support.
Why two projects instead of one capstone?
Recruiters want to see how you think (UX) and how you craft (UI). Project 1 runs Weeks 1–4, Project 2 runs Weeks 5–9, in a different domain to show range.
When does the next cohort start?
3 October 2026. Seats are limited to 15 per cohort.
Do you guarantee a job?
What if I miss a live session?
Do I need to pay for AI tools?
Cohort starts 3 Oct 2026 · 15 seats
Thirteen weeks from now, walk in with
case studies you’re proud of.
Join the next batch of AI-Powered UI/UX Design Mastery. Reserve your seat
or talk to a design mentor about which plan fits you.
