Our take

Based on the ratings of 47 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in May 2023. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a beginner-to-intermediate Figma course from A F M Jamal Uddin, a Helsinki-based product development manager, built around 15.9 hours of video split across 96 lectures and 26 sections. It starts at the very beginning, panels, shapes, and frames, then works up through auto layout, components, prototyping, and plugins before ending with a full website design built from scratch. The requirements list nothing beyond a free Figma account, so reviewers coming in with zero design background are clearly the target audience here, not people who already know their way around the tool.

Reviewers call it well structured and thorough, with one saying it is worth taking to build a UI/UX career and another recommending it for covering almost all the topics. The rating breakdown backs that up: 24 five-star and 16 four-star reviews against six threes and one two, out of 47 total. The sample is thin, though, just 47 ratings and 163 subscribers, so there is less crowd testing behind the praise than the star average alone suggests.

At under 16 hours it is a reasonable weekend project rather than a multi-week grind, and five quizzes plus a practice test give some structure to check what stuck along the way. The course has not been touched since May 2023, so anyone worried about matching the newest Figma interface should expect some drift. For a true beginner who wants a guided path from blank canvas to a finished website design, it is a solid, if less battle-tested, pick.

Best forComplete beginners who want one guided path from Figma basics to a finished website design.

Skip it ifDesigners who already know Figma and want advanced, current-toolbar techniques.

Full syllabus from basic shapes to a from-scratch website design project
