It covered most of the necessary information to get started with figma. but it's a little outdated; other than that, I would've rated it 5 stars.
By Ridwan Abdulhammed on 9/13/2022
Have been able to learn the basis of Figma, and also some of its amazing features in this course, its a really great experience learning this course
By MaFomedanu on 3/16/2022
This is VERY basic. I guess it's a good start if you've never heard of Figma before, but all you'll learn from this are a few fairly basic functionalities. If you want something more comprehensive this course isn't for you. Not to be mean, but the teacher promised a couple of updates which are long overdue.

I just started this course and I am giving it a five-star rating because it's simple and very informative packed with value.

By Satyam Gopal on 7/19/2021
Yeah, I learnt a lot by doing, though this 2hrs and 30 min course would have take around ~6-7 hrs in Total. But it was fun and I really loved this course.
By Jason Gresalfi on 5/14/2021
Saumitra is a great teacher. The course is organized in a methodical way and he walks us through each step of the design process providing the relevant examples in Figma the whole way through. Saumitra doesn't overwhelm students with information - he gives us the foundations and encourages experimentation. I would take any course he teaches.

I start learning Figma with this class . It was very useful and I learned not only the basics of Figma but also I learned how to organized my project and lots of tips about UI.
