- Here's a simple trick that can help you identify bad ux courses and bootcamps quickly! Just do this and if anything doesn't check out, it's a huge red flag and you should look for a different course or class.
Learning UX design doesn't have to be a hit and miss, but there are many platforms out there that are not honest and low quality - that's why I wanted to show you how to spot the bad ones and avoid getting scammed :)

You hit the nail on the head in your review of the course. You summed the course up rightly in my opinion. I'm actually taking the course. I've been using the financial aid and haven't had to come out of pocket. It's a good course and I've learned tons. Yet there's tons of crap I plan to scrape from my memory bank after obtaining full certification. Students are required to do like a 20 page case study. Full of fluff mostly. It's mandatory to create and submit (as well as add to your portfolio) their interpretation of a case study. The case study is a good example of what I've come to call the "Google way".
My biggest peeves with the course has been, the platform (Coursera) - it's awful, and being indoctrinated in what I've come call the "Google way". I'm on week 4 of course 7, so I'm kissing the end. It's been intense, joyful, informative and even though I'm not a Google groupie, they haven't been successful for nothing, so there's a lot of real meat in the course. It's a great fit for beginners. I should mention I wasn't a total novice before starting the course. I'm self taught a front-end designer. This course has broadened my skillset and made me love designing even more.
My favorite part of the course is building prototypes in Figma and Adobe XD. I've become an intermediate user of both tools in a matter of weeks. I also prize the external resources they provide. There are times I learn more from the linked information than the course material. The additional resources have been invaluable to my growth as a web designer.
I have to mention there is this dark underbelly of UX. Google has it bad. This focus on the user (empathy and equity) is unhealthy. Not something I wish to go into here, but I've heard you talk of the "dark side" in another video. It haunts the entire course. And if I hadn't watched your video I wouldn't have a name for it. Basically it's been a creepy sensation for me. I doubt I'll be employed by Google after certification. My goal is to use what I've learned to build and further my own freelance business.
With all that being said, I'd recommend the course to anyone that wants to learn UX and is just starting out. Just be mindful of what your goal is and don't let Google lead you blindly into the dark vortex of UX.
Thank you for the in-depth comment, I think it probably would fit better under the actual Google Course video, but I agree with your points here! Well said.
If you want to continue working on your projects after the google course, I have created a couple of smaller, cheap courses myself that so far has been praised to really push the skills in UI to the next level (they're at hype4.academy)
It's mostly because while I liked the Google course, I think part 5 (on UI) was the weakest one of them all, so I decided to make a better approach to UI :-)
@@MalewiczHype Opps...I'll move it over there...I thought I was on that video...Thanks for the course info.
I actually love you ❤️❤️❤️
I like u for ur proffesionalyty. R u from poland.?i didnt do much resurch. Continue ur work. It helps man
Lol... I bet you'll soon have people come for you head. But thanks for your sincerity always and for making this journey easy for me. That video about not trying to cross all the T's in a design process has helped me to be reasonable as much as possible. You're my hero!
Nah, the worst kinds of scammers are usually solo operations and when exposed they disappear.
This is what I needed! 🥰
Great! Hope it helps!
@@MalewiczHype I have a request! It would be great if you could make a video on a practical guide to becoming a ui/ux designer in 2022. Thank you for your efforts! 🥰😇
I actually have something like this planned for pretty soon :)
They are not fake people, they are personas
True!
Thank youu !
Thank you! If I complete your ui/ux program (courses) is that enough for me to build a strong portfolio and apply for jobs as a ui/ux designer? I ask as I was considering the design lab or springboard ui/ux bootcamp.
Hi. If you already have some UX foundation (like the one from the Google course), my courses can definitely increase your chances of getting a UX/UI job. Many people who finished them got that job. But there's no guarantee as it all depends on your current skill level and how motivated you are to do daily challenges and learn more. They definitely do help :)
@@MalewiczHype thank you!
Generally I believe most people (9 out of 10) can get great at UX, but it does require being ready to work especially hard at the beginning.
Thanks for this.
Hope it helps :)
@@MalewiczHype Absolutely
That's why you are my mentor 😅
