For me, I can search online for shortcuts, getting round the functionality of the software is more useful to me & knowing the idiosyncrasies that will cause me problems when I go to use it.

Good detailed overview of Canva and all of the elements that it provides. Craig enquired about our knowledge and our uses before undertaking the course to help us adopt Canva in our projects. We were introduced to every aspect and the tools to help enhance our products, presentations, content and how to elevate our work

Craig was really enthusiastic and covered everything on Canva really well. Even though I’ve been using Canva for about two years I still picked up lots of useful tips and learned about features I hadn’t used before. The session was easy to follow, engaging and useful for all levels. Overall it was a great course and has helped me feel more confident using Canva and I cant wait to start introducing into my role/colleagues and any upcoming projects.
