Reviewed Mar 19, 2026Course: Figma UI UX Design Essentials Pt.1: Tools & Foundations
The having to wait for peer review to finish the course is really annoying. Remove this function so we can move forward.
This was a very good course, and I learned a lot about Figma and the fundamentals of UI/UX design. The lessons gave me a much better understanding of how to use the software. I especially loved the instructor. He made the learning experience fun by adding humor and jokes throughout the lessons. His personality kept the course interesting, and he explained things in a way that felt conversational rather than boring or overly formal. One challenge is that Figma’s interface has changed significantly since the course was created. Some tools, menus, and features are now located in different places, which can make the lessons difficult to follow at times. Since I already have experience with graphic design software, I was usually able to figure things out, but someone completely new to design may struggle more. I was also initially disappointed to discover that I could not receive my certificate until another student reviewed my final assignment. After completing all the required work, it was frustrating that certification depended on peer availability. However, I only had to wait about two days, so the delay was not as bad as I originally expected. Overall, I would recommend the course because the content was valuable, the instructor made it enjoyable, and I learned a lot. Updating the lessons to reflect Figma’s current interface would make the course much easier to follow.
