The trainer was fantastic. His dedication in coming up to us in Hertfordshire even though it snowed was commendable. The course was great and very hands on with the product.

Our trainer was fantastic, engaging and shared the content with such ease for easy digestion. I've taken so much away from the course and implemented lots already. Thank you for such a wonderful day.

The Figma course was great! Tony was very good at explaining and had great patience even when you didn't understand something. I feel much more confident using Figma now
