First, whether the UI is saturated and the UI requirements and treatment.

At present, the Internet industry is booming, and the posts of Internet companies include technical posts, operation posts, design posts, product posts, market posts and functional posts. A complete project needs development, testing and, of course, design, so the UI design industry is not saturated.

Searching for the corresponding position on the recruitment website requires not only the mastery of tools, but also aesthetic needs for UI designers. More is to have in-depth insights into the interface design of software interfaces, web pages, mobile apps and so on. , and has a certain interaction design foundation. Some enterprises even require to master front-end related knowledge. ?

2. Is it worth going to the training class?

Different people hold different attitudes about whether the training course is worthwhile or not. People with design background will not recommend you to go to a training institution, because his professional knowledge is enough to support him to teach himself UI design. If a 0-based person finds a good UI design job after studying in a training institution, he will definitely feel that it is worthwhile to enroll in the training class. To look at this problem dialectically, we need to be clear about the advantages and disadvantages of applying for classes or taking self-taught exams:

Therefore, for people who want to change careers quickly, the advantage of applying for classes is that they can save study time to the maximum extent and let themselves master some core technologies to meet the needs of work in a relatively short time. Secondly, the training center has a better understanding of the IT market and enterprises, and can give more targeted lectures. Compared with the theoretical knowledge that only stays in books by self-study, applying for classes can better accumulate practical experience, better connect with enterprises, and truly show their skills, rather than being an armchair strategist.

According to your personal situation, I give you the following suggestions:

1, you are bored at work now, and your family objects to your resignation and joining the training institution. In this case, you can leave your job in a hurry, use your spare time to find courses related to UI design online, and study for a while before deciding whether you need to enroll in the training course system.

2. Learn more about the work content of the UI industry and the workflow of the Internet industry. Although the salary of UI is relatively high, do you bear the inherent work pressure? If you switch to UI, you should be psychologically prepared to adapt to this industry in advance.

3, combined with your own personality, UI is also a job that needs to deal with various positions, so you also need to have soft power such as teamwork ability, communication and expression ability, and aesthetic ability. If you are introverted, it is recommended to exercise yourself consciously in your life and work.

4. Because the ultimate goal of training is to find a job in UI design, 90% of enterprises in the market will require college degree or above in UI design.

5. You are not satisfied with the present situation. Since last year, you have had the idea of changing jobs. Now that you are younger and less stressed, the best time to change is now. The best way to convince your family is to show them your sincerity and progress.

4. What skills do 4.UI designers lack? How to start self-learning UI design?

1. Find the syllabus of the course. Official website, the major training institutions, can check their curriculum system and characteristics. According to their course syllabus, summarize the UI skill requirements in the recruitment website, design the mainstream course syllabus by yourself, and then refer to the study. Here, I have compiled a relatively complete UI design course outline, so you can check and fill in the gaps according to your own skills. This course outline is mainly aimed at people with 0 foundation. You have a certain design background, and you can judge for yourself according to your own situation. There may be design tools, design thinking and design process in each course catalogue, which need to be studied separately.

3. If you have a certain hard power after self-learning skills, then UI design also needs to have soft power such as communication ability, teamwork ability, logical thinking, creativity, user experience, user behavior research, understanding of project process and UI design process. In daily work and life, consciously cultivating these abilities will make your comprehensive competitiveness stronger.

4. Self-study materials of 4.UI design can be obtained from course websites and industry sharing. You can also go to major learning websites to find other learning videos and teaching materials to learn.

After a period of self-study, make a rational evaluation. If you find yourself learning difficulties, low learning efficiency and unsystematic knowledge system, it is suggested to transfer to a professional training school for systematic learning as soon as possible.

5. So how to choose a reliable training institution and how to judge whether this training institution is suitable for you?

1. Are there any requirements for admission?

Most training institutions are open to students, but they never consider whether students' own conditions are suitable for this industry or whether they can find corresponding jobs after training.

A reliable training institution must meet certain learning conditions according to the recruitment requirements in the market. If it is 0 basic training, it is generally junior personnel in this industry, and there will be certain requirements for age. An internet company will not recruit 40-year-old junior development engineers. For example, in the UI design industry, 95% of enterprises will require college degree or above. Therefore, reliable training institutions will also have certain requirements for the academic qualifications and ages of students.

Training institutions have certain requirements for students, and the overall quality of students will be more unified. Just like the difference between key high schools and ordinary high schools, the learning atmosphere, learning efficiency and employment height are definitely very different.

2. Does the training program meet the market demand?

The ultimate goal of training is employment, so the training program must be updated iteratively to meet the needs of the market. The syllabus of a reliable training company must not be copied casually. There must be a strong teaching and research team behind to study teaching and control teaching quality. The course design should not only have real materials, but also have a gradient, step by step, from shallow to deep, so that students have a solid technical foundation.

Do you dare to find a job after the training?

Most training institutions in the market claim to guarantee employment, but few of them have implemented it. When signing a training contract, you must read the employment terms clearly, whether employment is guaranteed, whether there are many additional conditions to ensure employment, and what are the solutions if you can't find employment. Only training institutions with excellent quality dare to clearly state the employment guarantee clause in the employment contract.

4. Is there a free trial time?

Participating institutions can learn more about the teaching quality of training institutions and judge whether it is suitable for teachers' teaching style. If a training institution has a special audition class, it is necessary to understand the difference between the audition class and the actual class. In case the actual training is not as good as the teaching quality of the audition class, it will waste your time and money after you formally enter the school.

5. Is the teaching method face-to-face or video?

There are generally two teaching methods in the training industry, one is video teaching and the other is face-to-face teaching. Due to the problems of teaching cost and teachers, many training institutions are face-to-face video teaching mode in branch schools. This kind of teacher teaching can cover all campuses in the country and save teaching costs. In video teaching, it is difficult for teachers to grasp the teaching progress and interact with the students in front of the screen, which will greatly reduce the teaching quality. Students can't get feedback in time if they have problems. Courses without good interaction are lifeless, and students' interest in learning will gradually decline. So try to choose a face-to-face institution to study, which will make you better absorb and digest the knowledge you have learned.

6. Is there a limit to the number of people who can start classes?

These slogans of teaching in small classes are often heard at the beginning of making up lessons in primary schools, which fully shows that the number of students has a direct impact on the teaching effect. Conscience training institutions will strictly control the quality of teaching, and the number of students in a class will be limited. It is generally recommended that a class should have no more than 30 students.

7. What are the school rules and regulations of the training institutions?

Strict school rules have a certain binding force on students. The combination of serious classroom discipline and high-intensity learning rhythm can set off a good learning atmosphere and improve learning efficiency. If adult training institutions also have school rules and disciplines similar to high school campuses, the "enrollment rate" will be greatly improved.

Generally speaking, listen more, watch more and compare more. Listen to the advice of industry professionals, visit the teachers of training institutions on the spot, compare the advantages and disadvantages of many training institutions, and then decide which one is more suitable for you.

Having said that, any choice will face a result. Whether you leave your job, change careers, or train requires you to think calmly, and then make a judgment after trying. If you are hesitant, it is better to change from now on. If you want to change, act immediately.
