Course Outline
What You’ll Learn
Want a portfolio & career placement?
Pair this course with an Equinet Career Programme
This course builds your capability and certifies you. It does not include a project-based capstone, client placement, or career coaching. Our Career Programmes are built for that: three months on a real project brief, your own product idea or a host organisation, with dedicated career support and mentorship throughout.
Many graduates take both: the course for the certification and capability, a Career Programme for the portfolio case study and placement. Speak to a course consultant about the combined pathway.

WSQ What The Figma (WTF)
“I had a great time learning something new again. The trainer was engaging, clear, and helpful, and my classmates were friendly and fun to work with. I joined this course to understand the basics of Figma. By the end of the two days, I was able to create a complete app. I was amazed by how much I learned and felt very happy with the experience.“
