Reviewed Oct 5, 2025Course: Canva Design Essentials Pt. 1: Core Tools & Layouts
Videos are quick, fun, and easy to understand. Dan is very engaging and I wish I had taken this sooner!
I would recommend taking the course from the original creator or doing a different one altogether. The videos and the projects are helpful. But it's very clear SkillShare doesn't even know their own content, and doesn't update their questions and information. So many of the questions in the tests just aren't even covered in the module, and so many are just WRONG. For example, in the final module, it asks the shortcut for going to the Next Page. Firstly, this wasn't even covered in that module, and secondly, NONE of the answers provided were even correct! This was a consistent problem throughout the course. As someone who works with AI all day, the exams scream 'AI-generated' and the course creators didn't even attempt to watch the content before creating the questions. It's a shame because the course has potential but has just been very lazily made. The questions are also very outdated, like it's from a Canva version from a years ago with wrong names and labels for core features. Spent 2 weeks on this (about 10 hours) and feel like I wish I'd taken a different course now. I want to complete the full specialization but just dislike the questions and the outdated content so much.
