Gain Mastery in Three Courses
Our foundational courses, DBC and EDP take a distinct approach to applied digital psychology.
Then we give you unlimited access to our LIVE hands-on tutorials in ABD, where you’ll learn the practical side of digital psychology.
You can take DBC or EDP, but we recommend both for a complete learning experience.
Plus you’ll get 2 years of unlimited access to LIVE ABD tutorials with each course.
Which course should I take?
For most students, we recommend starting with DBC, which leads into EDP.
EDP can also be a good starting point—depending on your learning goals.
It’s good to start with EDP if you’ve been working several years in a digital-practice area or you have a few years’ experience combined with a strong passion for emotion-driven design.
If you’re still deciding, here’s our advice.

LIVE Applied Behavioral Design tutorials
Our LIVE tutorials guide you through the behavioral design process.
If you want to get the most out of our training, use the LIVE tutorials to drive forward any of your own projects. If you don’t have a challenge, we’ll offer some suggestions.
During the LIVE DBC tutorials, we’ll go through the behavioral design process. Each step in the process will draw on the lessons. This will reinforce your learning and ensure that you’re able to translate our behavioral science curriculum to standard industry tools and processes in UXD, visual design, content strategy, marketing, advertising and other areas depending on the particular challenge you chose.
During the LIVE EDP tutorials, you’ll expand your prototype and fine-tune the details, such as copy, imagery and other polishing work that will start to make it feel truly engaging.
You’ll end the tutorials with a psychology-inspired prototype.
You get LIVE ABD tutorials for free with each couse purchase.

FAQs
Q. How much time should I schedule per week?
A. Once you register, you can take the courses at your own pace. However, if you start the content during the LIVE term, schedule about 6 hours per week. There are 3-4 hours per week of video lessons, 1.5 hours of live tutorials, and optional exercises applying the behavioral design process.
Q. Is the certification test mandatory?
A. The certification test is optional, for those who wish to upgrade their qualifications. So if that’s not your goal, the test is not necessary.
Q. What if something comes up and I’m unavailable during the live tutorials?
A. We record the tutorials, so you’ll have access. But we place great value on the live learning experience and we want you to make it. If the timing becomes impossible, let us know. We’ll bump you up to the following live session.
Q. What if I miss the live tutorials?
A. All live sessions are recorded. If you have any scheduling conflicts, just send your questions to our private group in advance. We’ll cover your questions in the live session, and then you’ll get the feedback in the recording.
