Hey! I definitely agree with your feedback on the course. I can’t say too much about it overall, I literally just started course 2 and it seems like it’s going to finally pick up. I do think that you can lose motivation fast just bc of how long it is! After I completed the 1st course I literally didn’t go back until 3 weeks later and that was me forcing myself bc I really want to complete the course. Anyway! Thanks for your review!

The course does definitely pick up after the first course and then the last 2 are the fastest as you already know everything. Just push yourself to always start the next course on the same day as you finished the last i found that made things a little bit easier as at least i started 😊😊

This is very accurate! I just got to course 3 and I’m very unmotivated because it’s taking so long to get to the action. It’s slightly tedious

Hi,which figma package do you require for this please? adobe XD is not discontinued so do you know what would replace it please?

I agree with your review. I came into the google certification course with UI/UX knowledge already, mostly UI. This made the beginning of the program seem very dull and slow-moving. For a full on beginner, that could be useful to some, but I feel that contributes to a lot of the dropout rate. The lack of UI and the fact it isn’t acknowledged as being an important factor to learn is also…disappointing. With that being said, I agree it’s a great course for beginners as long as they don’t rely ONLY on this course being their ticket into the industry.

I applied for the programme through a government programme for unemployed people, so thankfully I was able to study for free. The downside is they only gave us 2 months to complete it, which seems too short, which causes a lot of stress. I'm currently in the beginning of course 7 and the motivation to do something is at an all time low xD it was fun and exciting throughout course 1, 5 and 6, but the rest kinda blehh

Yes there is a problem with that! I wish at the end there would be an instructor who reviews final work & gives feedback but unfortunately there isnt 🙃 but its worth placing your work into ux/ui fb groups and asking for feedback

I’m going through the course right now and I completely agree with your evaluation of it. I’m at the beginning of my first peer reviewed project and your concerns about it reflect mine. The way the material is presented is very dry. As a result I’m also finding it very difficult to stay motivated. The terminology is confusing and needlessly vague. I’m concerned that I’m learning terminology that is too Google-specific and won’t be applicable in the real world. I’m seriously considering finding another online course that can offer better feedback from actual instructors and is more interactive.

@@KamiAlicja I’ve researched the career foundry course and I think that will be my next move. I actually used their free introduction to UX as a way to start my knowledge base. It gave me a jumpstart on the Google course. My impression is that it’s a good course but it’s limited in scope (no UI) and it’s way too Google specific and the peer review aspect is awful.

After completing the ux google course you can look at job within ux, ui, product design or focus on a specific aspect such as user research. However, when starting out its better to be broader and try it all out before specialising in one aspect. The course itself has a model about this where they go more in detail 😊

I'm looking to get into UI/UX courses online... I saw google had one at a great pricepoint but it's only UX.... I looked at a bunch of other courses and the majority only seem to offer UX, which is so weird considering UI is a mandatory component connected to UX (which are often paired as a single job/career). I graduated post sec for graphic design, however learning UX without UI is wrong. I'm hoping google is an okay course to take in the end because I'm hearing that a lot of UI/UX certs are typically money grabs for thousands of dollars with projects and courses that are extremely entry level and don't help or assist you into the industry.

@KamiAlicja

Жыл бұрын

Yeah unfortunately the Google course is just focused on UX and you would need to educate yourself on UI however because youve done graphic design it should come easy to you i came from the same background moving from graphic design to learning ux/ui so alot of it is the general design principles that you learn in graphic design but its always important to keep learning!

@KamiAlicja

I think the certificate is nice to have especially when trying to get a job or clients as it is the google UX course. But ignoring the certificate the fitdt portfolio piece you create within the coursr is the most important as the 2nd and 3rd is pretyy much exactly the same. You dont need the course to succeed but it helps with beginner stuff but then its up to you to focus on expanding your portfolio! So as long as you completed the first portfolio piece i think you are good to go just learn on your own
