Best NN/G Certifications in 2026
NN/g is a UX research, training and consulting firm whose certification covers usability, user research and interaction design through its courses and exams.
How NN/g certifications work
- 2 certification tiers
- UX Certification: pass 5 live online courses and their exams, about $6,500 and 30+ hours in total. UX Master Certification: pass 15 courses and their exams, about $19,500 and 100+ hours, usually over 2 or more years; your first 5 courses count toward the 15.
- Course and exam pricing
- Live online courses cost about $1,215 to $1,260 each, plus a $95 exam fee per course. Self-paced courses are a separate product and do not count toward certification.
- Exam format
- Each course has its own exam: 30 multiple-choice questions in 1 hour, 80% to pass, online and unproctored, with your course materials and notes allowed. You get 3 attempts; after that, you can repeat the live course at a reduced price.
- Exam eligibility and window
- Only people who attended the entire live course can take its exam, and you must complete it within 35 calendar days of the course. A one-time paid extension is available.
- Validity and accreditation
- Certifications do not expire and have no renewal requirement. NN/g states that its UX Certification is not accredited.
- Optional specialties
- Passing 5 courses within one track (AI, Interaction Design, Research or Management) adds that specialty to your certificate.
