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....

The course covers enough to set students up for entry-level jobs in the UX design space and is a well-respected certificate in the industry. Still, students and graduates of the Google UX Design Certificate should anticipate competition when applying for entry-level UX design jobs.

Great foundational course. Love the fact that it is self-paced and you are allowed to push deadlines if needed. I recommend this course to anyone in the design, web development field, or anyone looking to learn how to go about approaching the design process for their first product.

This course is very condensed and very interesting.

Each unil that finishes had accomplished to teach us something new in depth.

One recommendation for the course, it to be able to downoad at the end of it, all the slides that were used throughout so that we can create a handout.

It's great for anyone that is not very familiar with UX design or wants to refresh their mind. It teaches you everything you need to know to start in this world and it's so dynamic you don't even notice the time flying or how much you've learned (and let me tell you, it's a lot).

The production quality, scripting and feel of the course is outstanding! Loved every bit, was truly a pleasure learning. I leaned a lot of concepts in UX that I did not know about before, in such detail, without feeling overwhelmed. Great job Googlers! Thank you for your time :)

I enjoyed the course but did feel a lot of pressure to already have my personal brand worked out. I know it will develop with further courses in the certification and I'm only getting started. As an educator, I can say that course design and accessibility were excellent. Thanks.

This course was very informative and gave a ton of insight into the daily responsibilities of a UX Designer. I left this course with a better understanding of what the role entails and with an eagerness to learn more. Can't wait to see what the rest of the program has to offer!

This course in intense, and the instructors are so experienced. Love it!

Now, I understand why Google said to treat their certificate courses as the equivalent of a university degree. It's worth it. I look forward to partaking in the remaining courses in the certificate program.

I really appreciate that the course guides you on how to set up a social media presence and how to network. It was overwhelmed by the thought of marketing myself as a new UX Designer, but I feel like I have the tools to land a job and to become part of the UX Design community.

Very helpful and insightful course to introduce the concepts and methods of User Experience Design! They touch upon the different roles, frameworks, and considerations for UX Design at a high level, but sets up the remainder of the certification courses with a solid foundation.
