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 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.

This felt like a very thorough introduction to UX design. I appreciate that before you've even finished the first course you've received coaching on how to set up a portfolio, start building your personal brand, and engage with the UX community.

I never had such a solid continuous structure at the beginning of my career as ux, although I have been working for more than 3 years, everything that I was able to acquire in this introductory course and excited about the rest is very important.

The lesson was stimulating, engaging, and entertaining. a fair balance of theory and practice, with adequate time for discussion.

Отличный курс. Мне очень нравится подача материала, так как он изложен чётко и без лишней воды. По тому, как преподаватели преподносят материал чуствуется, что они действительно хотят преподать научить тебя, а не просто отрабатывают свои деньги.

This was such a great course that did justice to the introduction to UX design. It explained more about the concept and basically everything it meant. The instructors certainly explained the topics perfectly well. I would totally give it a 10/10

Just an amazing course. At the beginning I was not sure if I could complete the course. Even though i had absolutely no knowledge or experience in UX design, I was able to complete it. No, I hope I know something about it. Recommend to everyone.

Very well presented and thorough. As someone completely new to UX design, I really appreciated how the course material was presented. It should come as no surprise that it was a very user-centered delivery. :-) Can't wait for Courses 2 to 7!

Very helpful and very detailed. The course enables you to take a step directly into the real world from the first week itself and makes you aware of so many things such as inclusivity, equity, biases that aren't usually taught in online courses.

Excellent overview of the history, theory, and research methodology needed to create effective research studies and apply that learning through usable, useful, equitable and enjoyable-to-use designs with full attention on the user's experience.

They have covered every aspect of UX Designing from very basic level to advance. Also they have provided us with the basic tools and links to study and getting started. The instructor is highly experienced and has an awesome method of delivery.

Was really amazing! Only thing I batted an eye to was learning about design sprints. As someone who's team can't necessarily use such a workflow its kind of obsolete. But to people who work in a bigger company this is completely understandable!

I've been a UX designer for 20 years and I found this course an excellent way to understand all the concepts of user experience design. It was very good for filling in gaps in my knowledge and giving me a solid framework to move forward with.

Good foundation. The lingo used in UX designing might be overwhelming to someone with zero knowledge and skills about computers and stuff, but the downloadable glossary of terms and the assigned readings make the course more "understandable".

I learned so much from this course. I'm new to the UX design world but was very intrigued by it. I learned so many new terms and the way designers think, I look forward to applying my new knowledge to practical skills in the following courses.

It's been over 10 years since I've taken any kind of classes. The way this course was organized made it very easy to follow along - even for someone like me who struggles with ADD and staying focused. I'm eager to continue with my UX courses!

Superbly done. Kept my attention every minute. Was able to power through ahead of schedule without missing a beat and took plenty of notes. Very basics of UX Design but keeps me excited to move on to the next course and begin designing myself.
