"I started the Canva course through a community job scheme.  I was nervous but it's been great for helping with our charity's work. Making social media posts and leaflets is now much easier and looks a lot better. I went on to enrol on the Digital Marketing course at Level 5.  Completed that online. There is a lot more in it, but the tutor made learning fun, and I could use the skills right away. "

Thanks for a great workshop on Friday, and the additional videos since then. You put a lot of work into the workshop, and I have to say it is amazing value for money. The workbook and the access to the hub are really helpful. Such a great way to learn something I was so unfamiliar with, I really enjoyed it.
