UI Design with Figma

Throughout the course you will learn user interface design best practices, as well as mastering Figma, the industry leading tool. The course is not a beginner or advanced Figma course, but we do say you should have some knowledge of Figma before enrolling on this course (eg. how to create a prototype).

Considering the nature of User Interface Design and learning tool, the more practice you do will quickly improve your Figma skills. Homework changes from time to time during the course but it will range from 2-6 hours a week of homework time.

Yes, during the course you will be assigned to an actual client to work on a real project and at the end you will be presenting this work to your client.

Where this isn’t a complete beginners course, we do suggest having some working knowledge of Figma before enrolling eg. the ability to create a basic wireframe and/or build prototypes. The course is designed to teach you the advanced features and so taking your existing Figma skills to the next level.

We don’t need you or ask you to write any development code. Only on some parts of the course, we explain what the different code languages mean, how to check feasibility, and how it’s best to communicate with developers.

There isn’t one! To secure your space on a course all you have to do is book via our website or by contacting enrol@experiencehaus.com and telling us which programme you’d like to do. For those doing our larger courses, you’ll then get the chance to speak with one of our instructors and talk through your objectives, previous experience and how we might best support you during your time with us.

We primarily use Figma because it is one of the most intuitive, collaborative and inclusive prototyping and design programs available. Students can easily share their work and co-create on the same canvases through their web browser in real-time, without needing to download an application and suffer compatibility issues. Figma is also fast-becoming the industry standard and norm – although this changes quickly!

Yes, you will most likely want to develop a portfolio. If you are doing our full-time Career Development Bootcamp then this will be completed as part of the curriculum, but if taking a part-time course then it will need to be done afterwards in your own time – with support from us as part of our lifelong mentoring service. On this course you will work on one group project that can be added to your portfolio.

Courses can be taken with standard Windows PC or Apple hardware. The only programs that you will almost definitely need to use at some stage are Figma (the main design program we teach), Mural and Zoom. All of which can be run through your internet browser with no need to download their desktop applications unless you want to work offline. Many other programs are discussed throughout our courses, but none are essential.

No – the briefs are selected to help you apply your learnings in the best way and create a great portfolio piece. We cannot change the brief that has been selected for you as we want this to be as real life as possible, where you don’t always choose what you work on and would need to deliver the project regardless of personal preference.
