Max Hawkins ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
2 Days agoLectures were at a really good pace and I never felt lost. The instructor was well informed and allowed me to learn and navigate Figma easily.
Arthur Williamson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
3 Days agoIt's pretty good. Just a reminder that there are also students with Windows, meaning Figma is a bit different of yours. Thank you!
Claire Jones ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
4 Days agoGreat course for learning Figma. The only bad detail would be that some icons are not included in the assets. But 90% of the icons needed are included, and the voice of the instructor was very clear and easy to understand.
