Nielsen Norman Group has added an AI specialty to its UX Certification program. Earning it requires completing 5 Live Online Training courses and passing each corresponding exam within 35 days of attendance. No extra application, no additional fee beyond course registration and exam credits.
The five courses cover prompting and research integration, AI-assisted design workflows, AI product strategy, designing AI-native experiences, and operational efficiency under resource constraints. The argument for this over generic AI training: the curriculum is built specifically for UX practitioners and grounded in NN/G's own research, not repurposed from software or business tracks. The full article lists each course with its scope, which is worth reading if you need to make a case to a manager for which courses to prioritize.
The specialty appends automatically to an existing NN/G UX Certificate once all five exams are passed. Courses are live now at nngroup.com/courses with the AI specialty filter. For practitioners already in the NN/G certification pipeline, this is the lowest-friction path to a defensible, credentialed AI skill set tied to UX practice.
