NASSCOM Certified UIUX Design Trainer, Vineet Raj Kapoor

Vineet Raj Kapoor (Indian IDT Expert Worldskills, and Founder SXILL) shared “I am happy to share that I have successfully been certified as Certified Trainer for the Qualification Pack of User Experience Designer (SSC/Q8404) - v2.0 conforming to National Skill Qualification Framework Level – 5.”

NASSCOM's skilling initiatives aim to bridge the skills gap in the IT-BPM industry and empower individuals with digital skills. They offer various programs, including FutureSkills Prime, which focuses on emerging technologies, and initiatives targeting marginalized youth and women through the Skilling and Employability program. Today NASSCOM is the IT-ITES Skill Sector Council for Government of India, under NSDC.

Neelu Kapoor (Indiaskills Graphic Design Technology Jury) and Founder SXILL said “This Certification brings more transparency to the UIUX Design learners of India, since many of them have lost precious time and money to spurious online courses with dubious certificates. UIUX Designer Certification through NASSCOM/ NSDC ensures that our students get verifiable credentials that stay behind them all their life and are also part of the NSQF and get entered in their APAR Accounts aka Academic Bank of Credits. This is the only government recognized Certificate Course in India.”

There is a longer UIUX Design course for fresher wherein we have a sprint based learning methodology akin to the actual workplace environment.”
