5/5 Stars
I wasn't able to join the in-person session due to a last minute issue coming up but have found the recordings extremely helpful and engaging. I learnt a lot and much more than I expected. I got a deeper understanding on elements like components and auto layout but got to discover a much deeper layer of knowledge with things like slots which i never knew existed.

5/5 Stars
The course was excellent and very easy to follow. I learned several new skills that will be a huge benefit not only to my own work but to the team as a whole. I finished the session feeling genuinely positive and motivated to get our files organised and start taking full advantage of the efficiencies Figma has to offer. Overall, it was a really valuable and worthwhile course.

it might of been good to look at what we do as a team and how we can improve our specific ways of working, as alot of it was great and very imformative, but some finer details (slots / tokens) aren't relevant for general day to day.
