- Hi emma.. Just Subscribe to likedin learning.. They have everything you'll ever need.. and it doesn't cost the earth.To become a better UX/UI designer .. learn how web and app development works... You dont have to learning programming just the basic understanding of what programmers do with the design you'll eventually deliver.As a UX person you'll have to juggle between business needs , User needs, and the capabilities of your team. Understanding development process will help you in that front.Practice a lot.. use the free tool https://www.dailyui.co/ they'll let provide you daily quick tasks for you to practice. Doing so you'll be hardwired to solve UX problems rapidly..Have fun learning.
- Forget the online courses, pick up the following books:"Information Architecture" by Louis Rosenfeld"UX Startegy" by Jaime Levy"About Face" by Alan Cooper"Thinking like a UX Researcher" by David Travis"Just Enough Research" by Erika Hall.Join the community of ux practitioners on http://deltacx.link/joinslackDebbie Levvit's YouTube channel should help guide your learning. She hosts excellent practitioners on her channel and does micro-lessons on things like Task-analysis, information architecture, prototyping, conducting research and anlyzing research findings.Now, why am I telling you all this?I've found, as long as I've been practicing, that ALL courses do not cover or teach the essential skills a ux practitioner needs, at best Google's UX certificate course only mentions research at a superficial level.You'll learn a lot more about the theory, process and practice of user-centered design from the books above, especially Alan Cooper's book "about face." couple that with articles from the Neilson Norman group and you'll learn the right things.
- Hi Emma,Have you looked at myuxacademy.com, 8 weeks evening course its with live teaching with UX experts and they also use real project from real clients so not just theory.
- @Adam Tengku Thanks will give that a try Adam.
- Google does one thats pretty affordable, the Google UX Design Professional Certificate costs $39 a month and can be completed in under 6 months, so they say on their site most people can complete the course for under $300.A former colleague of mine took this course even though she was already experienced and said it was a good one, plus the certificate is recognised too.They start from the fundamentals and get pretty detailed as I understand, sounds like it may be worth a try, good luck!https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-ux-design?utm_source=google&utm_medium=institutions&utm_campaign=gwgsite
