FAQs
What's the difference between this membership program and your full program?
Our full program is an end-to-end design career program with full instructor support with weekly sessions and homework support, as well as regular student advisory sessions from our student success team. The full program also includes Portfolio School, which is crucial to your success as a career-ready designer.
The learn on-demand membership program is for students who are testing the water or prefer to learn on a lower budget relying more on self studying. They are able to purchase individual instructor sessions at a per session price as needed. However, there is no portfolio support or career coaching unless the student upgrades to our full program.
Why is learn on-demand so much cheaper than your full program?
We want to provide an easier way for students who want to study design with a self study, no-pressure schedule. Much of the cost for our full program goes to make sure we provide extensive instructor and student advisory support to ensure our students' success. We also have designed advanced lessons and exercises to ensure our students develop their craft well before graduation.
Taking away these elements, we still have a fully functional course that could be valuable to those who do not need this level of support and therefore, we can provide our expertly-written curriculum at a more simple capacity to those who need it.
How long do I have course access for?
You will have access to the course as long as your membership payment is current.
Can I learn on-demand and apply for Portfolio School later?
Yes, you can!
If I purchase an instructor session, do I get the same level of support as students in the full program?
You will be able to have a single session of an hour with an instructor of your choice when you purchase individual sessions as needed. If you are on the Basic plan, you will receive 1 homework written feedback exchange per month from instructor when booking at least 1 session. If you are on the Advanced plan, you will receive 2 homework written feedback exchanges per month from instructor when booking at least 1 session. Our students at the full career program receive unlimited homework feedback in between sessions.
What are "advanced lessons and exercises"?
Advanced lessons and exercises contain topics that are considered specialized and more difficult - we do not showcase these lessons or exercises in the learn on-demand model.
Do I have homework support with learn on-demand?
If you are on the Basic plan, you will receive 1 homework written feedback exchange per month from instructor when booking at least 1 session. If you are on the Advanced plan, you will receive 2 homework written feedback exchanges per month from instructor when booking at least 1 session. Our students at the full career program receive unlimited homework feedback in between sessions.
Can I build my portfolio with learn on-demand?
You will not be able to receive our Portfolio School coaching with learn on-demand. However, you are welcome to apply to Portfolio School any time during your study if you think you are ready. We will evaluate your application, your assessment results and your interview holistically to determine if you are qualify to join Portfolio School.
Do you offer free trials?
You can take our free mini course Introduction to UI/UX Design to get a taste of what it's like to learn at Path Unbound with mini sample lessons and a chance to speak to our instructors live with a small fee if you'd like to make sure you like our instructors.
Ready to actually launch your design career?
Our learn on-demand membership options are great for students testing out the water but if you are serious about a successful career in design, our full program is right for you.
