Beginners Guide to Canva

The Beginner’s Guide to Canva Workshop is ideal for individuals who may feel uncertain about using technology or have little experience with digital design tools.

In this relaxed, step-by-step workshop, we’ll guide you through the basics of Canva—a free, easy-to-use design tool that helps you create beautiful flyers, social media posts, stories, reels and more.

No prior experience needed. We'll take it slow, explain everything clearly, and make sure you feel confident as you learn. If you’re a sole trader, start-up or small business owner, this class is the perfect starting point. Come learn, create, and have fun at your own pace!

Ready to take your skills further? If you’re feeling confident after the beginner session, why not join our Intermediate Guide to Canva workshop later the same day? This session explores more advanced features, including animating images and text, and customising templates to reflect your unique brand or personal style. Head back to our events page to book your place on the Intermediate session.

Both workshops are hands-on, accessible, and focused on the needs of local micro and small businesses, contributing to digital inclusion, confidence, and the development of essential marketing skills that drive business growth.
