Is the Google UX Design Certificate Worth It? 🤔

ℹ️ Reminder
The Google UX Design Certificate is a 200+ hours program on Coursera covering wireframes, prototypes, UX research… Beginner-friendly, 100% flexible and great for building a portfolio with 3 projects.

🧐 Yes or no?
Yes, especially for beginners seeking a solid foundation in UX. The course teaches essentials but needs updates. It’s a comprehensive and engaging tool to explore your interest in UX, but don’t rely on it alone to excel in the field. Some courses feel outdated and could benefit from recent tech advancements like ChatGPT.

💡What I’ve learned
The courses propelled me forward, particularly through the portfolio projects. The shared supplementary resources are valuable as they allow you to delve deeper into certain topics. The “Responsive Web Design in Adobe XD” course is lacking - I think that mastering Adobe XD is no longer a prerequisite for UX/UI designer and the course clearly doesn’t teach you how to do responsive design.

⏰ How long It took me
Estimated 8 months, completed in 3 with full immersion. Flexible, doable in 5/6 months without full dedication.

➡️ Next steps
Continuing with courses, such as Meta’s « HTML & CSS in depth » course and honing my skills in Figma with @cacatoes_design, volunteering to apply acquired skills, and creating my portfolio.
