Graphic Design with Canva

Small businesses, schools, churches and community groups all need graphics: social media posts, flyers, price lists, certificates and presentations. Few can afford a professional designer for every one. A young person who can produce clean, on-brand designs quickly in Canva is useful in almost any office, shop or organisation, and can also earn money from side work. This course teaches the design basics that make work look professional (layout, alignment, colour and fonts) and then shows you step by step how to use Canva's free plan: creating designs, working with images and elements, setting up a brand kit, designing social posts and print-ready flyers, building a short presentation and downloading the right file type. It also covers copyright, licences, privacy and honest advertising, so your designs don't land you or your client in trouble. The course is fully online and self-paced. Each lesson has a short activity in your workbook. You finish with a practical design task and a final assessment, and you receive a MetaCo Certificate of Completion that you can add to your CV.
