About the Course

Design a User Experience for Social Good and Prepare for Jobs is the seventh and final course in a program that will equip you with the skills you need to become an entry-level UX designer. In this course, you will design a dedicated mobile app and a responsive website focused on social good. You will showcase all that you’ve learned during the certificate program to complete the design process from beginning to end: empathizing with users, defining their pain points, coming up with ideas for design solutions, creating wireframes and prototypes, and testing designs to get feedback. By the end of this course, you will have a new cross-platform design project to include in your professional UX portfolio. This course will also prepare you to land your first job as a UX designer. You’ll learn how to interview for entry-level UX design positions. You’ll get tips from Googlers based on their own interview experiences and their unique perspectives as hiring managers. And, you’ll polish the professional UX portfolio you’ve been building throughout the program so that it’s ready for job applications. 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. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Apply each step of the UX design process (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test) to create designs focused on social good. - Identify the differences between dedicated mobile apps and responsive web apps. - Understand progressive enhancement and graceful degradation approaches for designing across devices. - Build wireframes, mockups, and low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes. - Add a new design project to your professional UX portfolio. - Create your portfolio of design work for job applications. - Join and participate in online UX communities. - Interview for an entry-level UX design job. - Determine if freelance design work is a good career fit for you. - Learn AI skills from Google experts to help complete UX design tasks. This course is suitable for beginner-level UX designers who have completed the previous six courses of the Google UX Design Certificate....

This course was very helpful/useful. It was good preparation in pursuit of working in the field. Knowing how to design for users is one thing. Knowing how to navigate todays hiring process is another.

Great experience, this certificate help me to understand from start to finish the UX design process. Furthermore, how to put those skills into practice with real case studies. I highly recommended it.

I have very mixed feelings about this part of the course, because in one hand the whole course could have been only these moduls. On the other hand after all of the other parts of the course were quite boring (we had to review eeeeeverything for 100x times - now it was the most complex and best version of it - but as I mentiond it's boring). Not to mention the project task, I get it that some people worked with that so hard (they gained about this invested time I'm sure) but why you can't give max or semi max points to the others? Why is it so hard to be "kind"? Of course feedback are important etc but mostly everyone is paying for the course and want to end it as soon as possible. So all in all it was so controversial for me.

It's mostly a recap of everything you learned already. The only new things are in Week 5 and 6 which teach you about building a portfolio and interview tips. The course is really fast paced, it took longer than 6 weeks personally. A lot of the work people submit are incomplete or stolen.

The problems I think is the same as previous. UI course lack of practical exercise. jump right the project is frustration. UX design is amount of knowledge to understand. But many knowledge is useful I think feedback would help to improve in the future

It was downgraded from a 6 weeks course in the middle of my completion. My previous completed items got partially removed and I had to redo quite some lessons. Ultimately, the UX portfolio, I built for the course with Webflow became irrelevant.

Module 1 was very useful. I found that module 2 and 3 with its focus on finding a job and interview skills to be less useful as a lot of information could be easily found on google, without having to do a specialised course.

I like the course and the objectives, but I enrolled in this program for a number of very specific reasons, not the least of which are the agreements, which I read on this site, that Google has with Canadian companies to give those who successfully certify an opportunity. The second, which is naturally assumed as part and parcel with the first, is gaining access to the job board so jobs can be applied to after certifying. But somehow, in a User Experience program, where there is a supposed dearth of qualified UX designers, and where the advertising leads one to believe that Canadians are included, Canadians are in fact, not. Super disappointing

I am taking course 1 in Google UX Designer Certification.  I accidentally pressed the course 7 enroll button on the mobile application.  I don't want this to be a problem for my certificate.  I want to finish my Course 6 training and then take my Course 7 training.  I am helping with this issue.

A lot of repetitive information from the previous parts. The course parts should bee re-worked to have more value.
