Reviewing the Google UX Design Professional Certificate as a UX Design Lead

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.

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.

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!!

Thank you for your review! 😄

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

Thanks for the amazing video Charli. I am currently doing the course. could you please make a video showing us the steps from your expertise and taking us through an example conducting all the steps of the activities in the coursera course.. starting from empathy define competitive audit etc. till the end. That would be super helpful. Thanks

Thank you for this info!

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

Thank for your information, it helped me a lots. <3

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?

What do I do after finishing the course?

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🤔

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

Thank you so much for the review. Can you be my mentoring?

Can you enroll from any country?

come on people! Is it only me , or i freaking doubt if the instructor is a real person ahhaha. He looks so AI ( without offense) just sits there and little to no movement. That makes me not to enroll with the course xd :DDDDDDD
