Prototyping with Axure RP (Foundation)

Learn how to rapidly turn your design ideas into shareable, testable, interactive prototypes … without writing a line of code, with our Axure RP prototyping training!

In this course, we will look both at the principles behind a prototyping approach, as well as the practicalities of building prototypes. We will use Axure RP, a leading prototyping tool, known for its effective combination of power and simplicity.

In this Foundation course our experienced trainer will take you, over the course of 1 day, from opening Axure for the first time through to building a functioning, interactive prototype. The course will include classroom learning, practical exercises, and tips & tricks from our trainers’ years of Axure experience.

If you already know the basics of Axure, or would like to continue your learning after this course, a second day of Advanced Axure training is available. More details are available on the Advanced Axure Course Page.
