When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

There are 7 modules in this course

In this course, you will learn how to use AI tools in Figma intentionally and responsibly within real design workflows. You will understand where AI features live in Figma, what problems they are designed to solve, and how to evaluate their output critically instead of accepting it by default. You will develop practical skills in prompting, refinement, and decision-making, learning how to guide AI clearly while retaining ownership of design outcomes.

The course focuses on AI as a support system for designers and marketers, not as an automated replacement for judgment or creativity. You will explore core AI features across layout generation, content assistance, visual refinement, presentations, and collaboration, and learn how these tools behave in real files. You will also examine professional considerations, including ethics, safety, bias, and responsibility, which become increasingly important as AI becomes part of everyday design work. What makes this course unique is its emphasis on evaluation and judgment rather than feature memorization. Instead of teaching shortcuts or projects, the course helps you build a long-term mindset for working with AI thoughtfully. By the end, you will be better equipped to decide when AI adds value, when it does not, and how to stay in control as tools continue to evolve.
