The joy of Canva – about my workshops

This Wednesday (11th September) I’m delivering my regular Canva for Beginners workshop for North Tyneside VODA, and I’ve just heard the class is full, and so is the waiting list!


I love delivering this workshop, it’s so much fun sharing what this tool is capable of. But most important for me is being on hand, to walk people through the practical steps, as it’s easy to get stuck and not progress or give up.

Some people offer this course through Zoom but I prefer hands-on every time. It’s 2 hours, aimed at charities, everyone on laptops and getting stuck in! If your organisation wants some staff training give me a shout.

PS Canva made this groovy certificate automatically for me back in May, I’m not so sad as to have made it myself and I’ve definitely added on a load more designs since!

Below is the promotional blurb about the workshop so you can see what it’s about, with pricing at the bottom to run this course for your organisation.
