Prototyping in Axure
Offering Expert Onsite Organisational Training in Axure, across Australia / New Zealand and Remote training globally
Axure is a decades-developed service design and UX tool that gives practitioners the ability to build data rich, interactive and transactional prototypes.
Cognitive Ink was Axure’s first official trainer for Australia and New Zealand. As UX practitioners, we have been using Axure to prototype complex systems and experiences for our own projects since its earliest release, and since 2012 we have delivered hundreds of onsite training courses and one-on-one mentoring sessions onsite with organisational clients across Australia and New Zealand. Past training clients include the Australian Department of Jobs and Small Business, Australian Tax Office, Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australian Institute of Company Directors, Austrade, Danone, Appliances Online and more.
At present, we’re offering in-house training to organisations and teams. With focus on supporting corporations onsite, we can offer courses that cater to the specific needs of each organisation.
“The training was enjoyable and tailored to cater for those who had never used it before through to those who had used it for years. The knowledge imparted on us made working with the tool easier and left us excited about what we can achieve. I would strongly recommend Christopher and his team to anyone needing Axure training.”
