Take your design skills to the next level

Are you interested in learning how to make user-friendly applications? Do you want to become a proficient expert in using Figma? Immerse yourself in the wonderful world of professional UX/UI design with an intensive two-day course, and learn new skills under guidance.

Learn the best practices of Figma

In the training, we teach the basics of design and bring even more difficult concepts down to earth to be easily understandable. We teach skills through practice, which everyone can apply in their own work immediately. Currently, we are providing tailored training based on the needs of your team or company.

After the training, we share an e-book that reviews the presented topics and includes a slew of additional tasks with which you can develop your design skills independently even after the course. Those who have completed the course are invited to a Slack channel where you can keep getting assistance and help on the topics covered, long after the course has ended.

  • Learn Design Sprint exercises that refine ideas into a functional service entity.
  • Develop your own concept into a map-based application with diverse interaction methods such as image carousels and animated modals.
  • Learn how you can quickly create simple prototypes and understand the basics of user testing.
  • Refine wireframes into visual layouts and interactive prototypes.

1. Principles of usability

Understand how our brains interpret the world and how to utilize interdisciplinary principles in your decision-making.

 

2. Design thinking exercises

Learn how to shape an idea into a viable service that is comfortable and easy for the user to use.

3. Use Figma like an expert

The course is done entirely inside Figma. You will learn how to design effectively with the instructor in real time within Figma.

Who is the training for?

The training is best suited for designers who have previous experience in design work. You will learn exercises with which you can participate in the design process, as well as ways to observe usability challenges before the implementation of user interfaces. The training is suitable for you if you work in the IT sector and want to be able to shape a concept into a concrete, code-ready service.

We give participants of the Figma professional-level training access to the Figma basics online course, where you can learn the most important basic skills in Figma. This way, you get the most out of the live training.
