Figma is rapidly becoming an industry standard tool for modern product design and team collaboration. Learn Figma to transform raw ideas into structured interfaces, adaptable layouts and shareable digital experiences.
On this course, you’ll learn to navigate the Figma interface and organise work using layers, frames and groups. We’ll then explore shapes, images, typography, styles, precision layout and Auto Layout before introducing components, libraries and instances.
Through practical exercises, you’ll develop an app from an initial wireframe into a shareable prototype. You’ll add connections, interactions and animations, collect feedback through comments and prepare your project for hand-off using permissions, the Inspect panel and export tools.
Attend this Figma training course in person at our training centre in The Shard, London, or live online from anywhere in the UK. Private sessions are also available, delivered virtually or at your workplace in the UK or internationally.
