The AEX Design Fundamentals Course consists of 12 on-demand episodes. Each episode lasts between 10 and 20 minutes. The recommendation is that you do at least one episode a week along with the recommended quests, homework and the additional resources.
One episode a week is recommended as this will allow you to spend the appropriate amount of time on each piece of learning. As well as allow you enough time to reflect on the work and progress you have done so far.
If life gets a bit too busy, try not to leave more than a working week between each of the episodes.
Overall it is possible to finish the course in 2-3 months at this rate.
Despite this being a fundamentals course, don’t be fooled. The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it. The intensity of the course is set by your level of commitment.
So, if you simply want a surface-level experience then the course episodes will be enough on their own.
But if you wish to get the maximum out of the course and understand how powerful the tools and techniques are, then setting aside at least 2-3 hours per session is recommended.
This will give you the bare minimum of time to watch the episode, understand and learn its content, as well as do the additional resource learning and the homework quests given to you.
The course is priced at a very competitive €239 inc. VAT in price. But the value you will get is the same as a full-on 1-to-1 consulting project with æStranger, which starts at €16,000.
What you will get out of the course is a fully functioning and implementable audience engagement strategy by the end.
But only if you the homework and quests given throughout the course with each episode.
The content is valuable, but the real value comes from you engaging with the course and its content.
