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.

TOP REVIEWS FROM FOUNDATIONS OF USER EXPERIENCE (UX) DESIGN
Its a great course.
If you are looking to enter UI/UX industry that its a must.
Instructor guides from start, so even if you don't have any knowledge its fine.
All you need is zeal to learn.
It was great experience. The speakers were good designers who sharing their vision from the beginning to end. I do it just for few weeks, and I am happy to receive my certificate. Thank you, Googlers!
Highly recommend! I was scared before taking the course but my tutors made everything easy. I have never had this kind of learning experience. Everything is broken down in bits and beginner friendly.
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.
