About the Practice Groups
Each set of Practice Group meetings is associated with one of Indi’s self-paced courses. The practice groups are intended to provide practical experience working with the self-paced course materials.
(Check the Current Planning section for more details on planned practice groups.)
- Join a Practice Group with Indi and a small group of 8-16 people.
- We use Mural and Zoom to practice for 2 hours, once a week for 4 sessions.
- There is a Kickoff session first, and a catch-up week in the middle.
- Indi guides each practice session. You will get personal feedback from her.
- The session exercises are different from the exercises that come with the Self-Paced Course.
- This is how you may qualify for Certification: Practice Group + Self-Paced Course for all courses.
- 6 months access to Practice Group canvas & recordings
“Most beautiful exercises I’ve seen!”
Current Planning
(plans may change, read below for details)
The frequency of Practice Groups will increase after Indi finishes upgrading the courses “Thinking Styles” and “Framing Your Study” to be beautifully produced videos like “Listening Deeply” and “Qual Data Synthesis.” For now, Indi is interleaving the Practice Groups in no real order. This plan depends on how well Indi hits her goals in the content-upgrading work.
Practice Groups:
2025-Sep? Thinking Styles (when upgraded course is complete)
2025-Dec? Listening Deeply?
2026-Jun? Framing Your Study (when upgraded course is complete)
2026-Sep? Part 1: Qual Data Synthesis?
… then hopefully a more steady cadence of Practice Groups
Testimonials
Thank you for sharing your sparkling and kind energy with us. I learned a lot just observing your communication style in the practice sessions. I cannot wait to attend next practice group with you.
— Alla Seleznova, 9-May-2024
I started off as a way to do something refreshing, just have conversations with people and to practice what Iâm learning in real life. But I got so much more out of it. Just by trying these practices I learned so much about how to do the deep listening. I donât think doing just seeing the course alone would have given me this level of enrichment that I got from the live practice on top…

Read moreLearning how to listen alongside others to talk it over with â what you find, how amazing it is, and what you find out about yourself (and how hard it is – whoa). This practice series experience was all of it.

Really great course with good interaction. Make sure you dont have anything booked during the 4 live classes. I missed a class and watched the backup recording once, which wasn’t quite the same.

Enroll as soon as a new live practice is open. It is so rich, with so much knowledge to improve not just our work as UX Researchers, but also to use in our own lives as well.
— BenĂcio Pereira, 8-May-2024
I think the associated Practice Group should be mandatory for anyone looking to achieve the certification or even just learn. Practice makes the master, but I would like to say that this kind of practice makes you a great listener.
— Miguel Baeza, 17-Oct-2023
I really enjoyed the dynamics of the practice group meetings and the way Indi brings together people from some many countries who learn together as a knowledge-hungry team. The exercises were extremely helpful, and honestly I did not expect an online experience to be this productive and skill-boosting.

If you really want to understand what listening deeply is and a safe place to practice, take this course and practice group.
— Francesca Barrientos, 21-Aug-2019
Go for it! Definitely bundle it with the self-paced course (or book) for maximum learning.
— Katherine, May-2024
Thank you for the supportive atmosphere at live practice meetings and all your energy.
— Yulia, Ukraine, 1-Aug-2022
Indiâs class allows you to practice research rigor and apply what you learn in a real-world setting. A class like this is hard to come by, where you learn tactical tips to do strategic research right. You walk away learning that questions are a powerful tool of clarity and that the skills youâve just practiced with Indi will guide you to a deeper understanding of people as people, not users.
If you donât know which…— DJ Heo, 15-May-2020
