You know how you learn best. Do what you know has worked for you and do not cut any corners. As for the material, I would recommend doing everything that Becker offers(mcqs, sims, skills practice) for every module. You should be good to go.

Hello, I’m a UX/UI designer with 6 years of experience based in Italy and willing to move to London. I’ve been sending CV on LinkedIn for months but clearly I’m doing something wrong. I’ve been doing interviews with big companies around Europe but never from UK, don’t know if it’s because of the Visa or something else. I’m attending a UX course in a London-based school to have a more valuable certification for the UK market. Anyone in the field that could share any tips? Thank you very much

Explain this logic: if you are fresh out of school and finish exams before starting to work- no problem. BUT once you start working you aren’t allowed to request less hours or part time because then you are weak or can’t handle it. Why must we break ourselves for this exam and our work?
