Also udemy has some fantastic courses to learn the whole suite, each can be purchased for lifetime access for $10-15 USD. The instructors I bought from are still actively updating their courses and I get all the new stuff, even though I bought when AD was still on v1.3.

If you're looking to learn it's a really affordable way to do it.

Which courses do you recommend?

Here's the main one I used to get started.

I've started one on creating abstract art in Affinity that seems pretty good and I have a few others in my learning queue from him on specific parts of affinity that look really good but I haven't done yet.

Him and Lindsey Marsh have a bunch of content out there on the whole suite. I took Lindsey's course on graphic design theory that was pretty good but that course used adobe so i used it more for general concepts. I think either of them would be a good place to start.
