  Session 1 - Canva for Beginners: Build Confidence, Create with Clarity

  Ready to elevate your design skills without the overwhelm? Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly Canva training session with Catherine Mason, designed specifically for admin and office professionals looking to create polished, professional visuals with ease.

  In this session, you’ll learn how to confidently navigate Canva, create clean and professional assets, and apply simple design principles that make your work stand out—whether it’s presentations, internal documents, or event materials. This is not about becoming a designer. It’s about equipping you with practical tools you can use immediately in your role.

  Session 2 - Canva Intermediate: Design with Strategy, Create with Impact

  Already comfortable in Canva but ready to take your work to the next level? This intermediate session with Catherine Mason is designed to move you beyond the basics and into more strategic, polished design.

  In this session, you’ll learn how to create more cohesive, on-brand visuals, work smarter with templates and layouts, and apply design principles that elevate the quality and consistency of your work. From presentations and reports to event materials and internal communications, you’ll walk away with practical techniques that make your output look and feel more professional.

  This is about refining your skills, increasing your efficiency, and creating work that reflects the level you’re operating at.

  Session 3 - Canva Advanced: Design Like a Strategist, Deliver Like a Pro

  This is where design meets leadership. The advanced Canva session with Catherine Mason is designed for admin and business professionals who are already confident in Canva and want to elevate their work to a truly professional, strategic level.

  In this session, you’ll learn how to build and maintain brand consistency, create high-impact templates at scale, and streamline your workflow to produce polished assets efficiently. You’ll explore advanced features, smarter ways of working, and how to approach design with intention—so every piece you create serves a purpose.

  From executive presentations to internal campaigns and event collateral, this session will help you produce work that not only looks exceptional, but lands with impact.

  This is not about doing more in Canva. It’s about doing it better—with clarity, confidence, and strategic intent.
