Supercharge Your Use of Figma

This course is for UI/UX professionals who are familiar with the basics of Figma and its fundamental features, but are looking to use the tool more efficiently. Before taking this course, you should be familiar with simple layout design, basic component usage, and the Figma interface.

This course may also be a good fit if you’ve been using Adobe XD or Sketch for years and are transitioning to Figma.

‍

If you’re just starting out in UX/UI design, we suggest taking UX Academy Foundations, a 4-8 week course that teaches the fundamentals to visual and user interface design.

‍

Before taking the Advanced Figma course, you should have a basic understanding of the Figma interface and how to use it. That said, experienced designers transitioning to Figma will benefit from this course by learning how to use the program more efficiently.

You’re able to use your own Figma account in the Advanced Figma course. If you don’t already have a Figma account, you’re able to get a free student account when taking the course.

Yes. Students who successfully complete Advanced Figma may request that a Certificate of Completion be sent to them via email.

Unique to the advanced courses Designlab offers, Peer Group Sessions are regularly scheduled meetings facilitated by a professional product designer with expert-level experience in the course topic. In these sessions students come together to discuss the lessons, project work, and any questions.

‍

The Peer Group Sessions in Advanced Figma meet weekly for 60 minutes.

After you enroll in the course, you’ll be emailed a link to confirm the course details and select your peer group time. You’ll meet with your peer group on the same day and at the same time each week of the course. You’ll be able to choose from the following peer group times:

Hi {Manager Name},

‍

I’m writing to you about a course called Advanced Figma that I’d love to enroll in using my learning & development budget. The course is on Designlab, a platform that’s trained thousands of UX / UI / Product Designers who work at companies like Netflix, Amazon, and Google. The course is designed to teach me how to:

‍

• Build flexible UI layouts with ease and agility

‍
• Create my own design system using design tokens

‍
• Assemble a library of flexible, reusable, and nested UI components

‍
• Make my design practice in Figma more nimble, system-oriented and well-organized

‍

The course format was specifically set up with working designers in mind and is a mix of asynchronous lessons, hands-on project work, and weekly peer group sessions facilitated by an expert in Figma. The course costs $699 USD, and you can check out the course details here.

‍

Thanks,

{Your Name}
