TYPENORMSchool

Learn UX like you'll actually use it

Short, practical UX courses focused on improving real products — not theory. Learn to audit flows, surface user issues, and present research, taught by working practitioners.

Why TYPENORMSchool

UX education that survives contact with real work

No theory dumps, no influencer takes — just the methods practitioners actually use to make products clearer.

Practitioner-led

Taught by working UX practitioners — people who ship and audit real products, not influencers or theorists.

Built on real products

Practice on real flows and real data, not toy exercises — the way the work actually happens.

Clarity-first

Every course ladders into TYPENORM's lens: audit what's there, explain why it costs, and improve it.

Short and actionable

Focused, self-paced courses you can finish and put to work the same week.

WCAG 2.2 Fundamentals: Audit a Screen for Accessibility

6 lessons · 25 min

Learn what WCAG 2.2 actually asks of a designer, level by level: perceivable contrast for text and non-text elements, keyboard and focus behavior, and structure for screen readers. By the end you can run a real audit on a screen and write findings that cite specific success criteria — the same workflow behind TYPENORM's accessibility audits. No certificate is issued.
