Reviewed Jul 25, 2026This 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.

Reviewed Feb 23, 2026El curso en general es bueno, sin embargo, existe la limitante de quedarte en un progreso de 99% y esperar que algún compañero revise tu practica para poder continuar con tu certificación y/o repetir el intento, los tiempos de espera son muy prolongados y eso es algo desesperante

Reviewed May 23, 2026The course is very helpful, but sometimes the video screen images are blurry, so it is hard to see. Also, the assessment instructions are not clear about where, when, and what needs to be attached. Especially Dan’s comments about taking screenshots of the work are confusing.

Reviewed Nov 25, 2025I don't know if this designer reached a decent point but I couldn't stand him talking and talking, being fun. Why???? this is a technical course, I don't want to get to know this guy, I wanted to learn Figma and this guy almost ruined it for me. If you can read this, why???? you teach as if it was a social meeting, it is not!

Reviewed Oct 10, 2025I am very disappointed. We are in 2025 and the Figma course I am watching is the same I followed a few years ago. The latest frame he has is iPhone 11. The instructor should update his course. Even if some elements are still worth learning with him, the course has not been updated for a very long time.
