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....

It was a very pleasing experience to learn all the concepts and considerations as a UX designer has to behave. It's a lot of information and knowledge that you have to learn. You need to organize, get focused, orientated to details and more. This course improved more things that I spectated.

Taking this course was just right, that happy medium between easy and difficult. The blend of video, self pased reading and activities encourage me to keep going. I am still trying to figure out where I would fit on the UX journey but it is definitely interesting. Ready for class number 2.

Me gustó mucho todo el contenido del curso, aprendí un montón, lo único que no he podido usar con facilidad es la herramienta de traducción en otros dispositivos (ipad, celular). Me gustaría saber si se puede de alguna forma para poder avanzar más facilmente si no me encuentro en casa (PC)

They course is very understandable and highly detailed, I took another foundations of UX before and it was extremely shallow which this is not the case, the I am very satisfied with what I have been learning during the whole certification and I can't wait to keep with the following courses.

I'm happy to learn foundational concepts, common job responsibilities, design sprints, UX research methods, and biases in the field of UX design from this first course of the "Google UX Design Professional Certificate". Each stage and the way of instruction amazed me to continue learning.

The lessons in this course are well detailed and explained to the point that anyone can easily understand. Learning this course was easy from the beginning to the end. I also like the fact that there were quizzies after every lesson which made me know how I am keeping up with the lessons .

This course gives a number of practices for a true understanding of lecture. From my point of view, that part is one of the greatest thing in here. I've enjoyed how complex and delicate topics were explained with simple and clear words and concepts. Love it, thank you for this opportunity!

It is a great career kick starter for people like me who are very much interested in research and design for building good, usable & amazing products. And mostly who are interested in self-learners as well as experienced ones. It is also a good course to land your first UX job.

Thank you.

A pretty digestible course with a smooth intro into what UX Design is and you would would begin to fit into the role. I doesn't overwhelm you with information or anything complex expecting you to jump ahead. If you're looking for a well paced introduction to a new career path start here.

I really enjoyed taking this course! The instructors were knowledgable, approachable, and friendly excellent communicators. The only thing I might add is a "dark mode" to the Coursera interface. This would make the course a bit more accessable for those like myself who have lower vision.

Started this course not knowing anything about UX Design and having absolutely no experience in it either. I had previously worked with UX desgienrs in a past internship and wanted to know more and this course is definitely providing that insight from the best people that work in Google.

I was positively surprised by the course, because I thought it would be a very basic course and, in fact, it gives a very comprehensive view of the area with very didactic content, but without being superficial. The teaching structure is also quite practical and adaptable for each need.

Cognitive useful course. Information is presented and assimilated easily. You can choose a convenient pace of learning for yourself. Sometimes, however, it seems that you get tired of some information, but this feeling disappears by the next topic.

I will definitely take the next course!

This is a good introductory course. I saw people complaining about the portfolio being started too early, but since you need to build the portfolio as you go through your projects I feel the timing actually works. I am excited to complete the next courses as I feel this is informative.

This an introductory course to UX with very good materials. I would recommend this to a broad number of roles that are interested in UX, not only UX professionals, both aspiring but also seasoned, and in particular to product and management roles that benefit from the essentials of UX.

This course was clear, concise, and informative, while keeping things interesting. I enjoyed the different stories by other designers, as well as having a consistent instructor throughout the whole thing. It wasn't too long or hard, and got the point across very well. I learned a lot!

My opinion about this course is straightforward. It's a really good course for beginners and even for intermediate-level UX designers. Most of the assignments at the end of the week are peer-reviewed so you have to do your work and also you can check what other participants are making.
