What are OTHERS saying about this AMAZING course?

"Excellent course. In debt explanations, easy to follow and easy to understand. Jeremy is an exellent teacher and he knows his topics. The course was very interesting, professional, and I learned a lot from it. Now i just have to apply it in real life."

   5/5 Stars - Eva Szabo

"Well, I had never heard of Canva until I started following entrepreneur legend Guy Kawasaki on Facebook. He links to the site quite often when they have new articles or tutorials.

The course is very well organized. The instructor Jeremy Deighan speaks with a very clear voice. No accent. Audio and video is high quality. Each video lecture is straight to the point. No mindless chatter or distractions. Each section builds on the last. This is really a Dummies Intro course. He has three other courses on Canva. If you already know a bit about Canva you could start off with another one of his courses. I will be taking Deighan's Graphic Design Theory in Social Media Volume 1 next.

The instructor is also very active in the Disucssion area. He even makes his own posts with some examples of great graphic design and what makes them stand out."

   5/5 Stars - Mike Hatch

"I loved this! It was complete and so easy to understand. I've been using Canva for a year and there were a few things I didn't know that Jeremy covered. Great work!"
