The official Figma YouTube channel is really good.

For Figma exercises you can try: https://figmamarathon.com/

DesignerUp is great one to subscribe to, lots of web design, figma and UI design tutorials

I liked Mizko’s master class(paid) (a bit outdated with new features). I think it’s solid for a reponsive/figma crash course… updates have changed the steps though.

And the complex single icon component with color and size variants was a problem in deep files with repetative icon usage (memory limits).

Here’s a free YouTube playlist that gets you pretty far in no time: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7fJbgi8X0nzf7Dj_TNB-T011Bd7QBUD4

Godspeed and feel free to ping back any questions you may have!

Hello, I was a beginner before taking mizko's Figma masterclass and was watching his free YouTube video. But this course taught me how to set up before designing. I used the design system process in my own projects and my clients were so impressed that I got my first 10k project.

I think it really gives you all you need to become a Figma pro and start collaborating with devs and other designers alike. Also, great plugin recommendations!

I bought the course for $180. but happy to share it for an affordable price if you are interested in buying it.

Give them challenges. When I was being trained my trainer would have me make things in Figma instead of photoshop. At first it was mind numbing frustrating but it gave me great skills I can use every day.

Need a new logo, try making it in Figma. Making GIF's, make it in Figma.

I think there are several ways such as Youtube videos and pre-recorded courses. However, the best way to do this is via live interactions and in a community. Have you checked out Let's Level Up? They are fantastic!

They collaborate with industry experts to get you the best quality teaching in cohort-based classes which makes learning community-driven, personalized and the instructors give you detailed feedback on assignments hence improving your portfolio.

They have a free workshop this Saturday actually you might want to register for it if they have not closed registrations yet. Attaching the link: https://www.letslevelup.io/event-details/design-systems-with-figma-with-mihika-shilpi

Udemy has some basic videos for some of duh basics and I think Figma has some fun templates that include tutorials such as the auto-layout recently.

but UI/UX is not about learning figma, or making UI. it’s about solving problems (user experience). don’t forget to learn how to do that.

Check https://fountn.design/ for all kinds of design resources.

Figma's website has a nice beginner's course on it. Try completing it. Then move ahead to youtube, don't look for videos that are all in one type. Look for 10-15 minutes videos explaining one topic they explain a lot so it'll help.

Figma's original tutorials on YouTube, can be a good start. BUT I don't think you will learn much just by passively observing videos. Try practicing as much as you can. I found this resource https://figmamarathon.com/ to be super cool. It has lots of mini figma exercises to learn by doing.

I recently completed 3 Figma courses:

1. Figma Academy
2. Figmaster
3. Mizko's Figma Masterclass

Figma Academy is an advanced course. The 2nd and the 3rd ones are more beginner to intermediate level.

As others already suggested, Figma's YouTube channel and their community files are great, too.

Youtube is perfect, I am currently learning, How I do is create a fake projects for myself and try to build it in Figma so I see all the challenges and the obstacles then I search the forums, Reddit and youtube for solutions.

I hope this helps

Their YouTube channel is great. YouTube: FigmaDesign

I have courses from mizko, shiftnudge pro, supercharge design, flux academy, if anyone’s looking for any of these, you can dm me

thank you I like Figma. If we could use variable values in a textfield it would transcend design and software itself.

ok bye

This is a great help for all the soon to be junior ux designers wanting to break into the field that is of such huge demand

Do you need a paid account to complete the course?

Edit: this is great news :)

I’m really liking it so far! Last week, I was going through the old tutorials, and then boom—this shiny new course shows up. And honestly, it’s way better! The lessons are shorter, and you can actually work on your own stuff while watching. Big fan of the new one! I am on lesson 13 right now 😊

Hell yeah. That's a smart move Figma.

this is helpful https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuENK-_a_zWVDgz6Mz4z2v_jkC_7_zDFP

I've been watching this video, and he explains it quite dynamically. I'm only in half through it and have a lot of materials to practise.

For beginners, though

First off, don't get overwhelmed by all the features Figma offers. Start with the basics. There are tons of free tutorials and resources out there that can help you get a grip on the fundamentals. YouTube is your friend here – search for beginner tutorials, and you'll find some really user-friendly guides that'll walk you through the interface, basic tools, and simple project setups. Spend a bit of time each day practicing, and you'll start to feel more comfortable.

One resource I'd highly recommend checking out is https://siter.io/. It's a cool tool that bridges the gap between design and website development, allowing you to export your Figma designs directly to a website format. This can be a game-changer because it lets you see your designs come to life in real-time, making the learning process more interactive and rewarding.

Additionally, Figma's community is a treasure trove of resources. There's a specific plugin I think you'll find incredibly useful: "Export Figma to Websites and HTML by Siter.io" (you can find it here: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1014191120140241695/export-figma-to-websites-and-html-by-siter-io). This plugin is a fantastic way to understand how your designs can translate into actual websites. It's one thing to design something that looks good, but understanding how it works in a real-world application is a whole different ball game.

Remember, the key to learning Figma—or anything, really—is patience and practice. Don't be afraid to experiment with your designs. Make mistakes, learn from them, and keep pushing your boundaries. The design community is incredibly supportive, so don't hesitate to join forums, ask questions, and share your progress. Everyone started somewhere, and there's no better time to start than now.

If your have experience with others like Sketch, XD etc. just give it a go. Do some test sketches/designs and figure the features on the go.

Soak up Figma's YouTube channel.

Review Figma's Best Practices.

Figma's Help Center is a great for diving into details.

Short of injecting the information directly into your brain, these are 3 great starting points.

I'd suggest taking a look at any of the commercial UI kits for Figma after you achieved basic levels of learning Figma. It helps to extend your skills, save time and learn how to work with components more decent.

Watch YouTube videos and just start playing around with it. In my opinion, all the tools are very straightforward.

What you should familiarize yourself with is the logic of frames vs. groups. Also proper naming conventions for components. Lastly, master Auto Layout and all its uses. You can create very complex and responsive components with AL and make life easier down the line.

how/where to start depends on the project type. what are you creating?

Let me impart my how-to-learn wisdom.

1. Watch a few starter YouTube videos from the Figma team. Set a time limit and only watch two starter videos.
2. Have a look at the Community templates. Download two simple starters. Don't get mired in the multitude of templates. Set a time limit and choose two.
3. Next, open a template and get a little familiar with the tools in Figma. Don't do anything serious yet–just have a simple understanding of what each does. Don't set the expectation that you have to be an expert in each tool.
4. Finally, get started and start small. Create a new page make the navigation bar. Set another goal and create the hero element. Then another. And another.

By the way, choose one software app. Don't bounce between each because you're not in this to evaluate a tool.

If you get stuck, take a break. If everything frustrates you, well, you'll need to decide if you want to stick with this or choose another career path.

Best!

EDIT: Well, look here! If you read some prior posts someone created a starter just for you:
https://www.reddit.com/r/FigmaDesign/comments/lu6c8r/tutorial_learn_basic_tips_and_tricks_of_figma_by/

Definitely start with Figma's official Youtube channel first, then perhaps look at paid courses if you're still keen to know more.

Search for "The UI prep syllabus on learning figma" on google.

Also official figma documentation on their website and their youtube videos are the best sources for learning figma in my opinion.

Thanks for posting, I'm trying to re-learn Figma. I used it once like two years for college and finally decided to maybe, possibly, pursue a career in UI

I learnt through YouTube and now I have a paid internship. You really do not need any paid course. CäStart with this: https://youtu.be/jwCmIBJ8Jtc
