Who this course is for
This course is for experienced Figma users—UX/UI designers, product designers or design leads—who already work with components and prototypes and want to master advanced techniques like design systems, variables and complex auto layout to deliver scalable, production-ready work and lead collaborative design at scale.
Prerequisites
You should be comfortable with the fundamentals of Figma, including creating frames, basic components and simple prototypes, or have attended our Figma Introduction course.
What you'll learn
Mastering advanced Auto Layout techniques to create flexible, responsive designs that adapt seamlessly to different screen sizes.
How to build complex, interactive components using variants, layout grids and auto layout for customisable and dynamic design elements.
Exploring the power of variables in Figma to enable theme switching, conditional displays and reusable design tokens.
Learning to build and manage robust design systems by organising libraries, defining shared styles and documenting reusable UI components.
How to prototype advanced interactions like micro-interactions, overlays and multi-file prototypes to simulate realistic user experiences.
Applying accessible design principles by testing prototypes with screen readers and using plugins to ensure inclusivity in your designs.
Improving team collaboration by implementing shared libraries, managing file permissions and using branches for streamlined project workflows.
How to create professional-grade designs efficiently while improving collaboration with developers and team members.

Should I attend the Figma Advanced course in person or live online?
For in-person courses at our London training centre, you will receive a warm personal welcome, your choice of the latest Mac or PC and morning and afternoon refreshments. If you prefer to attend remotely, rest assured that you will be taught live by the same experts that deliver our in-person courses, covering the same training content, using the same exercises and materials. A second monitor is recommended but not essential.

Our Figma Advanced course is extremely interactive. You will be using Figma throughout the day, working through examples and live projects under the guidance of our trainer, who will be supporting you through each step.
What support is available after I attend the Figma Advanced course?
We offer ongoing support to our Figma Advanced course attendees through email and by arrangement, phone calls. You are welcome to ask any questions on topics covered during training. Our trainer will always do their best to explain principles and help you with any issues you encounter.
How many people are likely to be in the class when I attend the Figma Advanced course?
We have the smallest class sizes in the industry. On average there are 2 to 3 people on our Figma Advanced public courses.
