A very good synopsis and review of the Google UX Design Certificate, Charli. I started taking this course a couple of months ago, and it is heartening that someone with so much experience in the field sees value in it. I agree that mentorship is something that is missing from this course currently. Their peer-review process is currently a hit or a flop, depending on who reviews your work.

So helpful! The tips at the end of how to go through it with a mentor is perfection. I just got done with a bootcamp for both ui UX and know that I want to get into UX so this is really helpful as a way to brush up. There are definitely pieces in here that we’re not in my bootcamp. Thank you!!

True. It’s arguably the best out there. Organized and on point in my opinion.

I didn’t know this existed 😭 Thank you! 🙏

You sure are right about this course being a bare-bones course. For me, it's more of a very basic overview, roadmap and to help beginners figure out if UX design is for them or not. I also agree that learning UX design can help in many areas in tech, business, marketing & more. Google says this course is estimated to take 3-6 months, but anyone even half way serious should be able to finish this course within 2-4 weeks part-time. I'm on the 3rd course of the series so far & the top 3 things it seems to focus on is user centered design, research & accessibility. It seems like this course can give people a high level overview & roadmap, but people will have to really learn through practice.

@@HelloTruDee My goal is to master business, ux design, data analytics, full stack software development and more to build the foundation of my tech business empire. 1 thing I'm noticing about this ux design course and all Coursera courses is they are simply just a brief overall & roadmap of each topic, so it highly requires learning from other resources as well and lots of practice. This UX design course also pushes a particular style, but different styles are suitable for different projects / products. It really depends on your budget and if you have Coursera plus or not. If you have Coursera or a flexible budget, then go ahead and get the Google ux design certification, but keep in mind that learning even the basics of ux design will require additional resources and practice. If your time and budget is tight, then I'd recommend auditing the course for free while also learning ux design from other free and affordable resources while building a badazz portfolio of projects. UX design is mostly about principles such as always designing with the user as the prime focus, being empathetic to users, designing for all users such as those with disabilities and things like that. It's all very simple. The real work is user research, design patterns and domain knowledge. Even that is easy as long as you're designing for a community that you're already heavily involved in. For example, the UX design for my gamer app idea is super easy because I've been a online gamer for around 12 years and my domain knowledge is lightyears beyond what can be research and I basically already have the knowledge of user wants, needs, motivations, pain points and more from many years of talking to thousands of gamers about everything. They call that user interviews in ux design. It's all easy, so don't get overwhelmed with the big words and don't get lost in trying to follow a exact style.

Thank you for this info!

Thank you for your review! 😄

Charli, as a design lead what kind of backgrounds do you see with new UX designers?

Hi Charli. I am a marketing researcher and I am deciding weather to take this certificate to learn about usability testing and interviews to add that to my skill set. I am not interested in the actual design. Would you please tell me your thoughts?

If you are self taught what would be a persons next step after completing this course to get more experience or education?

does it teach tools like Ai sketch or Figma. how can a certificate learning just theory fetch a job🤔

What do I do after finishing the course?

I enjoyed the course so much, it was easy to digest the information fast and learn 😂
