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.

Okay, I didn't expected that this course would be engaging at first. I was thinking, it would be a average content and less engagement. But, I was wrong. This course or specilization in particular is very good in aspect of content and enagement. I give it a big thumbs up for purchase or enroll in this course. Thank you.

As a novice designer I found this course both thorough and helpful. I was super nervous when I started, but the way things are broken down and explained clearly and in detail made them easier to learn and less scary to try out for myself. I'm really loving this journey so far and I can't wait to find out what's next! :)

well worth the time and effort no matter if your familiar with these skills, or coming into the field brand new. If you have done UX or UX design in the past, the refresh and in-depth details about the terms and practices are valuable just to confirm your understanding - and, you'll most likely learn something new too!

This course will definitely help a beginner to kick-start one's journey towards UX designer. It not only explains you the required basic concepts but also helps you to understand how these concepts are used in real time projects.

Throughout the course, I learned about the initial design process.

And the platform of ux design, each platform design has different things to consider.

In addition it is important to have empathy. And the initial stage of research knowledge.

All of this knowledge is very exciting for me to start the next course of study.

I think it was an amazing course, I learnt so much and I feel more confident to continue to learn. I'm currently doing the whole UX designer course and I'm enjoying it, it gets more in depth and you really need to put in the work but it's worth it. You learn so much, I encourage you to take the whole course if you can.

This first course was very informative and a great introduction to UX Design. Google has crafted a carefully thought out and simple class structure that allows for easy digestion of all the concepts an entry level designer needs to know. I had fun and the activities were engaging, I can't wait to try the other courses.

Really interesting, practical knowledge with easily digestible modules for understanding the basics of what a UX Designer is and what they do. Currently considering a career change to UX design and this course really helped clarify the industry and whether or not I can see myself doing this type of work in the future.

If this course can keep me interested by now, then I know it's a good course because I can get so distracted and so uninterested easily. It's very hands on, and keeps you interested, no extra fluff, just straight to the point. Would I take it again, yes, I can't wait to start the next course. Very easy to understand.

É um ótimo curso introdutório, tudo muito bem explicado, com bastante leitura da própria plataforma e de sites externos. Os prazos tem bastante folga, o que é ótimo para quem tem pouco tempo sobrado no dia a dia. É o primeiro curso que vejo que cobre tão bem o assunto e me fez sentir que sempre estava aprendendo algo.

The course is well put together. The foundation certificate really explores every aspect of what you can expect when working as a UX designer which is amazing as it will clear or confirm any doubts that you may have about your career choice. I am honestly excited to start every morning, very much enjoying the course.

This course was very rewarding to finish. The progression is moderate. and is related from one topic to another making a smooth transition of learning more about User Experience. I rate this as 5 stars as it simply shows how they are knowledgable with user experience by giving this kind of learning experience for us.

I really love how simplified and understandable this course is. It gives prospective designers a clear overview of what the UX design industry entails and made me understand that the various experience we enjoy as humans in our daily activities is as a result of the continous cycle and evolvement of a design process.

Very good course. I enjoyed the range of topics covered and their detailed explanations. After an introduction video of a new topic, there was a following reading, which most times reiterated what was covered in the videos, but I for one enjoyed reading them. All in all great introduction course to the field of UX.

A brilliant course for any person designing user experiences - from education, applications, websites and everyday things we take for granted (AKA great UX design). The content and assessments are presented in short, impactful ways, and also leave you with enough resources to explore on your own (as it should be).

Great foundations to User Experience Design. in a world that will be more and more in face with technology and user experiences within apps or other platforms, it is essential to comprehend how and why they work. This course has opened a new perspective and i cannot wait to dive deeper into the world of UX design.

Everything was clear and spelled out step by step. It was a good introduction. The only feedback I could offer would be that sometimes the video skips, perhaps due to my low wi-fi connection, and also the timezone pop-up that can not be fixed. Otherwise, thanks Google! I can't wait to get started in the next class.

It was an amazing experience and I had a great time doing this course. I was thrilled and equally nervous before enrolling in this course, and now I am no longer nervous, I am only thrilled to know more about UX design. Thank you for the clarity and information you have brought through this course about UX design.

Very well organized course which clears all foundation level concepts of the student while giving detailed prospects available to a UX designer, deliberating upon the importance of each. The process involved in UX and what all processes and methodologies can aid in setting oneself on the right path from the onset.

Great introduction to fresh guy. Have outlines as well as details, the systematic content help me learn fast. Some quizz are interesting, modestly easy but also help me find out the missing points. Group discussion made me know so many different persipectives, experiences and thoughts. Look forward to next course.
