September 28, 20241 yr I want to get more into UI/UX and I am wondering if a course like this would be a good way, or do these certificates look stupid on a resume?
September 28, 20241 yr Nobody cares about qualifications. They don't even really care about UI/UX. What they care about is getting more leads from their website. It's your job to get them those leads. Having a good UI/UX it one of the components of doing this. If you want to do a course that's up to you. I'd just do lots and lots of research and then start practicing your skills on your own website.

Hi @silly.questions For me, courses/certificates really depend on where you are in your career. If you're relatively young/inexperienced then having qualifications on your CV can be a good way to show that you've taken the time to build a base level of knowledge. Once you get beyond entry level though, the most important thing employers will look for is experience, and a portfolio. With that said, if you're focusing more on building skills rather than certificates, then some courses can be useful for learning the bases of new techniques, or refreshing old ones.

If you are freelancing then there isn't a lot of point. But even if you want to work for someone else, experience will have far more value than a qualification. Having a portfolio with statistics on performance will be much more valuable.
November 4, 20241 yr Courses are definitely beneficial, but you'll gain more knowledge through practice. I don’t think anyone cares about the certificates you hold; it’s more about the design you create to represent your skills.
