Not every team can wait on a designer for every slide, poster or social graphic. Giving staff the skills to produce their own visuals in Canva can take everyday graphics out of the design queue.
This two-day hands-on course takes participants from core design theory to confident Canva production for workplace presentations and graphics, including where its built-in AI can speed the work up. Participants build real material in class and review it as a group.
What your team walks away with
- Core design theory: colour, typography, layout and composition
- A reliable way to turn an idea into a finished graphic, without waiting on a designer
- Canva’s AI used to speed up everyday design work
- A finished presentation built in class, with peer review

- Design theory in plain language, applied to real workplace material

Frequently asked questions
Do participants need design experience?
No. The course assumes everyday computer skills and builds from there.
Do we need paid Canva accounts?
The course asks only for everyday computer skills; we confirm the practical setup with you before the session.
What is the difference between this and the visual storytelling course?
This is the hands-on tool course: participants spend most of the two days producing work in Canva. Visual Storytelling and Presentation Design with AI is the design-thinking course for people who present.
