Korshub take

The fourth course in the well-known Google UX Design Certificate, this beginner-friendly program has attracted 342,313 learners looking to move from UX theory into hands-on research practice. Taught by working UX designers and researchers at Google, it centers on a skill many portfolios lack: knowing how to test your own ideas honestly.

You'll learn to plan and run a usability study, gather real feedback on early concepts, and then revise low-fidelity designs based on what you actually learned rather than what you assumed. The course also touches data ethics and information privacy, an increasingly expected part of professional UX research practice.

What you'll build

A usability-testing plan you can reuse on future projects
Hands-on experience translating research insights into design changes
A stronger case-study narrative for a UX design portfolio

A strong pick for career-changers assembling a portfolio, or working designers formalizing their research process.
