Certificates

Google UX Design

Nov 2023

Those who earn the Google UX Design Professional Certificate have completed seven courses, developed by Google, that include hands-on, practice-based assessments and are designed to prepare them for introductory-level roles in UX design. They can complete the design process from beginning to end: empathizing with users, defining their pain points, coming up with ideas for design solutions, creating wireframes and prototypes, and testing designs to get feedback.
