FAQs
We know signing up for a class is a commitment - we’re here to make sure it’s worth every minute (and every penny). Whether you’re nervous or hyped, we’ve got you.
Here are all the details about our in-person and live-online classes. Have a question that's not covered here? Email us at hello@fgmania.co.uk.
✹ Who's it for
Anyone who wants to get seriously good at Figma, fast.
Designers, developers, product managers, career-switchers, side-hustlers - if you’re a beginner or self-taught and want to level up, this is for you.
That depends on the class, you'll be able to tell by the class description
The figBang Theory, we’ll teach you from the ground up. For AI Prototyping Workflows, some design experience will be helpful. You'll be able to tell by the class description.
For all classes, you don’t need to be a designer - just curious, motivated, and ready to roll up your sleeves.
Perfect!
You’ll probably fly through the basics and get even more out of the advanced bits. We’ll help you fill in any gaps, sharpen your Figma chops, and show you workflows that even seasoned designers miss. We’ve even got some stretch goals if you need them.
Not at all.
Whether you’re in tech, marketing, education, or building your own thing, if you want to design digital stuff that looks and works beautifully, you’ll fit right in.
✹ Class details
Always
Every course is hands-on - you’ll build a complete, working design from scratch, not just follow along. What you make depends on the course, and whatever the format, you'll walk away with something practical you actually made - and the skills to do it again.
No worries - we’ve got your back.
You’ll get access to reference files so you can check your progress at any point. Whether you’re in the room or online, there’ll always be someone around - your instructor or a TA - to answer questions, explain things again, or help you catch up. And after the course, you’ll have extra resources to keep going at your own pace.
You’ll get something even better.
A project you made yourself (and yes - a cheeky little certificate).
✹ Logistics
Depends on your course.
Some are live-online, some are in-person (Central London). You’ll know which you've chosen, and get all the details when you book.
Check your course page for timings.
Some run over two days, some are half-day sprints, some are 3 hour workshops - but every session is structured, paced and packed with doing, not watching.
Just your laptop, charger, and your lovely self.
You’ll need a laptop that can run Figma (Mac or Windows, ideally using Chrome or with the Figma app downloaded). We’ll provide everything else - files, resources, and guidance to get set up.
Absolutely.
Figma has an app for both platforms, but also runs in the browser, so it works on Mac or Windows. We do recommend using Chrome for the best experience.
Depends on the class.
Live-online has no limits, but in-person there will be between 4 and 12 - small enough to get personal support, big enough for a bit of group magic.
If there's anything you'd like us to do to help you succeed on your learning journey, please let us know at hello@fgmanina.co.uk - we'll always do our best to accommodate.
✹ Work & professional stuff
Most likely, yes.
We’ve got a selection of downloadable business case PDFs for The figBang Theory (that you can repurpose for our other courses) that you can hand to your manager to help make your case. Hit the link and scroll down a touch.
Yep!
You’ll get access to extra resources, plus we’ll invite you to recurring private alumni Office Hours to ask questions, share your work, and stay connected with the f◼️gmania community.
Yes!

✹ Making it happen
Easy - just get in touch by booking a call, or email us directly (hello@fgmania.co.uk) and we'll book in a call for you, to learn about your team, recommend a format and get dates in the diary.
Of course. We’ll never sell you something you don’t need. You can book a short call here, which gives us both clarity on whether this is the right move - and if it’s not, we’ll happily point you to other options.
