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....

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.

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

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.

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.

I really appreciated this course and I would continue through the next parts but unfortunately, I have to apply again for financial id for the next courses since my situation has not changed and I thought the first time I got approved that it was for the full course.

Very helpful course to quickly get familiar with what the UX profession is actually doing, for the last part of personal branding, it's very useful, I think it's very important for professional development, but maybe put it at the end of the whole courseinteresting?
