Independent Professional UX Accreditation
Professional Peer Review
Professional recognition beyond exam-based certification
For experienced UX professionals, this accreditation provides an independent assessment of demonstrated professional practice, experience and expertise in UX, Usability and Human-Centered Design.
The process is based on structured peer review rather than an exam. Successful applicants are admitted to the professional register of accredited UX professionals.
UX Professional Accreditation is not issued by UXQCC. The programme is operated independently by IAPUX, the Association for the International Accreditation of UX Professionals and Quality Assurance in the Professional Field of UX, Usability and Human-Centered Design.
Target audience
- UX Team Leaders
- UX Consultants
- UX and Design Leaders
- UX Trainers
- Experienced UX Professionals
- Professionals with substantial responsibility for UX and Human-Centered Design
The accreditation is intended for experienced professionals and follows its own independent assessment criteria.
Completion of the UXQCC CPUE Advanced Level can provide a useful foundation, but it is not a prerequisite for the independent accreditation programme.
