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 inspired me, before taking this course I have been used some UX Design communities, I have worked in Adobe XD Design. This course explains the right way and UX process. I like this mentor.

It is pretty good. You learn new things even as someone who has some idea of what UX is. Would recommend to those who want to start learning because it is affordable and provides valuable information.

The instructors started this very beginner friendly and addressed all fundamentals - the speech rate is slow which is very good for people who don't have English as their first language. Its beginner friendly.

The course is wonderful. It went beyond all my expectations. What impressed me most is the approach to topics as sensitive as the imposter syndrome. I recommend it for both beginners and advanced UX Designers.

Great course! Exceptionally smooth layout, top value for money, bulging with practical knowledge and insights. No waste of time fluff. Very engaging. Just some of the external Medium links don't seem to work?

The theory is well organised and the work is easy to understand.The captions on the videos were a good addition because On my second read I would go straight to the notes instead of watching the video again.

Es bueno, incluso si el inglés no lo dominas es muy básico o puedes usar varias herramientas online para ayudarte a romper esta barrera, se hace de manera dinámica, está dividido en pequeños tramos cómodos.

It was nice and useful. I liked the format: a lot of information is divided into chunks, each segment with a quick video followed by a reading plus quick pop questions and quizes. It made it easy to learn.
