Best short courses for checkout UX

Has anyone found a solid 4–6 hour course that goes deep on reducing checkout friction and simplifying mobile forms? I’m planning a Q2 skills refresh for our ecommerce UX team and want practical, research-backed material — address validation patterns, inline error states, and setting up trustworthy experiments in GA4 with VWO/Optimizely — so recommendations with hands-on exercises or case studies would be ideal.

Pick CXL’s Form Optimization by Els Aerts — about 5 hours, very hands-on on address validation, inline errors, and mobile input types. > and setting up trustworthy experiments in GA4 with VWO/Optimizely — so recommendations with hands-on exercises or — pair it with their GA4 experimentation lesson for an event-naming template and a pre‑launch QA checklist that catches flicker and uneven splits. Bonus that worked for us: run a 45‑min team drill mapping each checkout error state to Baymard’s heuristics; link: https://cxl.com/institute/online-course/form-optimization/.

You might also want to check out UX Design Institute’s course on mobile checkout; it dives into practical UX strategies and includes some nice case studies. It’s perfect for fresh insights — just like a well-optimized checkout, it aims to make things smooth and quick! Have you looked into any specific platforms yet?
