How your Canva lesson
or training course works
The same simple process for a one-off lesson or a complete Canva training course in Geneva.
1
You call, we plan it together
A free five-minute call. We work out what you need (Instagram posts, a Brand Kit, a modern CV and so on) and decide which modules come first. You choose: at your home or in Eaux-Vives.
2
Your teacher works alongside you
The lesson takes place in your own Canva account, on your real projects (logo, posts, flyers). We move step by step, on visuals you can reuse the very next day.
3
You create and you progress
Between two sessions, targeted exercises (create a post, a flyer, a template). Your teacher stays reachable on WhatsApp for your design questions.
Our students, before and after

Posters · Social visuals
Sarah and Camille, 38 and 27
Community charity · Geneva
Our event posters were cobbled together in Word. We barely dared put them up in the neighbourhood any more.
Trained together, Sarah and Camille now create their charity posters and visuals in Canva: fundraising drives, workshops, social media. Their communication finally looks like the work they put in.

Residents newsletter · Workshop posters
Julien, 29
Activity leader in a care home · Geneva
The residents newsletter took me days in Word. Dull pages, badly aligned, that residents hardly read.
Julien lays out the newsletter for his care home in Canva: workshop photos, big readable headlines, cheerful colours. Far simpler and far nicer than before, and residents now look forward to every issue.

My birthday invitations were hopeless. I used to print badly framed Word pages.
Birthday invitations, party menus, homemade greetings cards, posters for the school. Sophie has set up a small design studio at home for every family occasion.

An honest comparison
for Canva in Geneva
We are not the only option. Here are the serious alternatives in Geneva in 2026, and what genuinely differs.
| Criterion | Cours-Informatique.ch Our offer | Group school in Geneva (IFAGE, CEFCO and others) | Independent teacher (Anibis, JobUp) | Free YouTube videos and the Canva blog |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Format | Always one to one | Group of 8 to 15 people | One to one, but it varies | On your own in front of your screen |
| Pace | Your project, your pace | Fixed dates, fixed programme | Depends on when the teacher is free | Whenever you can, with no structure |
| Location | Your home (included in Eaux-Vives) or our Eaux-Vives office | At the school (Plainpalais, Carouge) | Varies with the arrangement | At home |
| Follow-up and adaptation | Homework, WhatsApp, certificate of attendance | PDF handout, little individual follow-up | Depends on the teacher, rarely structured | No human, you handle it alone |
The best choice depends on your profile. Group courses are perfect if you are looking for social contact. Free tutorials suit you if you learn on your own. We are at our best when you want a concrete result, fast, without learning ten useless things and staying stuck on the one that matters.

Frequently asked questions
about the Canva training
Can the Canva training help me create professional visuals without being a graphic designer?
Yes. The Canva training is designed for people who want to create professional visuals without any graphic design skills. Canva makes it easy to produce clear, modern and consistent material for communication, marketing or human resources, even starting from scratch.
Is it suitable if I have never used Canva before?
Yes. The Canva training is for complete beginners as much as for occasional users. We go back over the basics step by step so that you understand the logic of the tool and can then create your own visuals on your own.
Can I work with my own Brand Kit and my existing content?
Yes. The training is 100% personalised and can build on your Brand Kit, your colours, your fonts and the material you already have. That keeps everything visually consistent, whether it is for the web, social media or internal use.
Is Canva suitable for professional use in a company?
Yes. Canva is now widely used by companies, freelancers and HR teams. It makes it quick to create presentations, internal documents, sales material, social media posts and training visuals without depending on a graphic designer.
Can you create social media material with Canva?
Yes. The Canva training is often taken alongside the social media course, so that you can create visuals that match the formats and the habits of each platform: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok and more.
Is the Canva training suitable for freelancers and small organisations?
Yes. It is ideal for freelancers, small businesses and entrepreneurs who want to run their own visual communication without a large agency budget.
Can this training be combined with other courses?
Yes. Canva is often combined with the social media course to distribute your content, the video editing course to create simple videos, or the AI course to speed up the creation of visual and written content.
Does the Canva training come with a certificate in Geneva?
At the end of your Canva training, we give you a personalised certificate of attendance listing the modules you worked on (social posts, presentations, print, brand identity), the skills you gained and the number of hours completed. It is worth putting on your CV with Geneva employers, in particular for community management, marketing or communication roles.
You also leave with your own personalised Canva Brand Kit and your reusable templates: concrete proof of what you can do.
