Certificate in Graphic Design Using Canva

Twelve modules, 161 lessons and about 42 hours of video. Lessons come with written notes and a key-takeaways panel, more than half carry an interactive step, and there are twelve checkpoints of eight questions and a final assessment of twenty questions at 80 per cent, which is what issues the certificate.

Not to start. Most of the course runs on Canva's free plan. Background removal, saved brand assets, one-click resizing and some of the elements in module 12 need Canva Pro, and the lessons show you the free route where there is one, including a whole lesson on resizing without Pro.

Canva for social posts, marketing material, documents and presentations, where speed and a shared brand matter most. Photoshop and Illustrator go further on photo work, original logos and print production, and they take longer to learn. If you want both, the Graphic Design Bundle puts this course with Photoshop, Illustrator and Figma.

No. Most lessons work from Canva's own library of photos, graphics and video, and your own images and clips work just as well.

No. The course starts at the Canva editor and teaches the design principles as you build, so you need no background at all. Canva runs in a web browser, so there's nothing to install and no special computer needed.

Yes. Pass the twenty-question final assessment at 80 per cent and you get an OBA certificate of completion that an employer can verify online. It isn't a qualification from Canva itself. The brand kits, documents and campaigns you make along the way are the other half of the proof.
