CJ WORX and DDDI Launch UX School in Bangkok to Make Global Certification More Accessible

Apr. 21, 2025

CJ WORX, the Bangkok-based creative powerhouse recently crowned the #1 Independent Agency in the World at the 2025 Global Indie Awards, has joined forces with the Dutch Digital Design Institute (DDDI) to launch a bold new education initiative: UX International School.

Set in the heart of Bangkok, the school offers a revolutionary pathway for Thai professionals to receive internationally recognized UX certification—without the time and cost of studying abroad. The program caters to a growing market of designers, digital marketers, developers, and even career-switchers, all looking to upgrade their skills and stay relevant in today’s experience-driven economy.

The campaign tagline, “Why go abroad when a world-class certificate is already here?”, captures the essence of this new venture: a global-standard education brought home. The UX International School offers an intensive six-week course, taught exclusively on weekends to accommodate full-time workers. Courses are led by seasoned UX experts and former design leads from global brands like Booking.com and Singtel, bringing deep industry knowledge directly into the classroom.

Students not only receive practical, hands-on experience through real-world client projects but also leave with a polished UX portfolio and certification backed by the UX Academy Netherlands and accredited by the UXQB (International Usability and User Experience Qualification Board).

According to the founders, this isn’t just about education—it’s about opportunity.

The DDDI director said:

"In an era where user experience defines the success of digital products, we believe everyone should have access to world-class training, not just those who can afford to study overseas."

 

This partnership marks a strategic shift for CJ WORX as well. Known for redefining the boundaries of advertising, the agency is now applying its creative and strategic expertise to impact education, career development, and the broader creative economy.

The next intake begins June 7, 2025, and seats are limited. Interested applicants can apply now at dddi.academy.
