Wondering if anyone has taken a look at the Google UX Design certificate and thinks it could move the needle at all on resume screenings or landing round 1 interviews (especially at Google).
Has anyone taken the course? If so, how long did it take to complete?
It says it’s takes ~6 months to complete but seems to be geared towards entry level designers. Wondering if it’d be worth doing a speed recap on UX foundation just for the badge.

There's no way anybody can understand how a job function works in a couple of days to a couple of months. It takes years of working on-site with people in a professional setting, dealing with problems. Not only with the actual product, but also with people and communicating your ideas and working through things.
I don't think any certification that only takes a couple of days to a couple of months means much (unless it was uber-competitive and well known), just your actual job history (mostly this) and maybe schooling (Like if you went to Harvard, it's obviously going to stand out amongst other candidates although it won't land you the job).
nobody gives a fuck about ur cert. your portfolio tells the entire story. nobody gives a fuck that you went to some fancy ass school if your portfolio doesn't deliver. your lil boot camp cert that u got in 3 months definitely do not fucking matter if your portfolio sucks. suck it up buttercup and work on that portfolio. never have I interviewed a designer and fucking cared where they went to school or what cert they had.
You’re right. However when I look at LinkedIn of the designers who work at Google they all got some kinda bootcamp or Master degree in Human Interaction or UX/UI. Will I build the portfolio only by looking up Google online to find the skills I need or I will learn them at the fucking bootcamps/fancy ass school tho?
