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....

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 have a better understanding of what role I play as a visual designer due to this course. It provides easy to understand information about the fundamentals of UX design, and I would recommend this course to anyone who is starting out or even seasoned as a UX Designer.

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.

My experience with this course was wonderful. I loved it! But there should be improvements. Plugins seems to be same like the previous ones and then there's no uniqueness left. New and different plugins and tasks should be kept as students progress through the course.

Best foundational course I have experienced in a while. I feel there was a high volume of information and content but so well structured and explained that it made it easy to asimilate and understand. Thank you for the effort in making it a great UX the course itself.

The Foundations of UX design is a great course to start with. I have learned the UX design process, Product development life cycle, User centered design, design sprint, personal branding. These are the very fundaments to be familiar with to get started in UX design.

I did not believe I was going to be able to complete the course as I always doubt myself. Completing this course made me realise I can do anything I set my mind to and I loved every bit of this journey. I look forward to completing the remaining 6 courses. Thank you.

Excellent introduction to User Experience. Some material will have to be revisited later but otherwise terrific. I wish I had this course years ago. It teaches how to be "all in" for UX as a career and I'm now incorporating multiple suggestions into my everyday life.
