About the Course

Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design is the first of a series of seven courses that will equip you with the skills needed to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience design. UX designers focus on the interactions that people have with products like websites, mobile apps, and physical objects. UX designers make those everyday interactions usable, enjoyable, and accessible. The role of an entry-level UX designer might include empathizing with users, defining their pain points, coming up with ideas for design solutions, creating wireframes, prototypes, and mockups, and testing designs to get feedback. Current UX designers and researchers at Google will serve as your instructors, and you will complete hands-on activities that simulate real-world UX design scenarios. Learners who complete the seven courses in this certificate program should be equipped to apply for entry-level jobs as UX designers. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Define the field of UX and explain why it’s important for consumers and businesses. - Understand foundational concepts in UX design, such as user-centered design, the design thinking framework, accessibility, and equity-focused design. - Identify the factors that contribute to great user experience design. - Review common job responsibilities of entry-level UX designers and teams that they work with. - Explore job opportunities and career paths within the field of user experience. - Explain why design sprints are an important and useful part of a UX designer’s work. - Describe common UX research methods. - Identify and account for biases in UX research....

It's been a great start, however creating a portfolio doesn't seem quite feasible within this time frame. I will now enroll in webflow university to better understand and get started on the portfolio.

The course should have involved a free web domain I think, cause we have to make another one on another site, except that I thin the course is excellent, and a great job from Google. I really loved doing the course, Koodos hope I get a job after completing all the courses ;)

It's important to recognize the foundation of UX. After this course, I began to utilize all the principles in my day-to-day work subconsciously. This course really validates the psychology and decision making in an UX role. Very helpful course for all levels of UX designers!

Detailed information is available and the theory gives one a good understanding of what can be expected in UX design even if you were not previously introduced to this field.

I love the way the course is structured, videos, reading and quizes/assignments.

Thank you GOOGLE!

This was a very good course, however I thought that this was for the entirety of the course and not just for 1 section of 7. I believe that part was confusing, however depsite that misunderstanding, I really enjoyed this course and am excited to continue learning UX Design.

I like to way of the teach by Google. Because some UX courses just give a piece of knowledge about technology and UX design rules. However this was holistic, I can say it covers sociology, psychology, and technology, and even more as it's supposed to be human in the center.

Hi there! This course is fantastic for newbies like me. I have thoroughly understood the term UX and what all happens in the process. UX is a vast subject and all the fundamentals have been covered in this course. I can't wait to start my next course and get my hands on UX.

This course has provided me with loads of insights on the UX Design career. I really enjoyed learning with the Google instructors assigned to Course 1, as well as hearing first hand experiences from UX designers from that company. A new universe unlocked for me :) Gracias!

Very informative and interesting teaching method. Not only does it teach you how to be a UX design, but the course also provides us the tool to learn soft skills such as developing personal branding or connecting with the potential employers or audiences. Highly Recommend!

This course really taught me that I didn't know what I didn't know. I have been self-blinded to UX Design in my website designs. Ouch to my past, but yay to my future! Overall, it was simple to understand. And I have so much more knowledge on this topic now. Thank you.

Really fast and easy for someone that want to approach for the first time UX world and at the same time a refresh on design methodology. I would not say that this course could work as a "primer" in UX but it works really well as an "advanced trailer". Really helpful btw.

I learned a lot during the first few weeks of this course. I started as a newbie who does not know anything about UX design. After the 1st course, I learn the terms in UX design, follow the process to build my portfolio, and understand the importance of personal branding.

I really enjoyed this short course on the basics of UX. I'm excited to continue this learning journey because it takes me out of my comfort zone in a really fun, productive way. I hope Google does more things like this and eventually offer them completely free of charge.

As someone who had very little knowledge and found this subject a little daunting initially; this was a very positive experience. I've enjoyed the experience. I am a single parent, and I work a full-time job in education, so this has worked wonderfully with my schedule.

The fascinating aspect is discovering that there are various types of biases. Understanding these biases has significantly increased my awareness of my own judgments and the environment around me. This knowledge will also serve as a valuable guide for me moving forward.

It was a wonderful course par excellence, although I do not master the English language well, but the methodology and the excellent way in which the course was designed, the translation became not an obstacle. Thank you to all the organizers and attendees of the courses

I feel very happy to have completed this course. This course has helped me discover many good things. Those are the basics but really important. However, I also need to practice a lot to be able to put the knowledge I have learned into practice when designing products.
