Counselling & demo class
Design is learnt by making things and having them critiqued. Every module here ends in a piece of work that the trainer reviews with you, line by line and layer by layer.
Your work is reviewed and you redo it — the step self-learning usually skips.
Logos, posters, social posts and print jobs written like a client would write them.
Files prepared correctly for a Hoshiarpur print shop as well as for Instagram.
You leave with a portfolio of finished work, not a folder of exercises.
The course is built for learners arriving from different starting points.
Run billing, stock and accounts yourself instead of depending on someone else.
Learn at your own pace in a friendly batch, for work from home or everyday use.
A practical skill to add while you decide on, or continue, further studies.
Fits alongside a degree, with weekend and evening batches covering the same syllabus.
Skills you can bill for, plus the delivery habits clients expect.
Eligibility
Not sure whether your background fits? Counselling is free — tell us your background and goal and we will suggest the right batch, with no obligation.
The stack you work with in class and in the live projects.
Finishing Canva puts three separate documents in your file — each one for a different part of what you did.
Awarded when you complete the Canva programme. Where the track has a recognised vendor exam, we prepare you for that as well.
For the live project you build during Canva, naming the work and the tools you used — so the project on your CV is backed by paper, not just claimed.
Take your training as a university internship and you finish with an internship letter covering your weeks on a project team.
See internship trainingIllustration — ask to see a real certificate at the centre.
How the paper is used
The roles Canva prepares you for, and the kinds of employers who use these skills. Outcomes depend on your own work and the market — we prepare you for interviews, we do not promise a job or a number.
Placement support comes with every course — portfolio review, mock interviews and guidance on where to apply.
Talk about placementsMost Canva courses cover a similar syllabus. What separates them is what you build while you are there, and what happens after the last session.

What the call covers
Counselling and the demo class are both free.
It is a short practical course at our Model Town centre on Canva — designing social media posts, posters, invitations, menus, certificates and short videos — for people with no design background.
Shop and business owners, homemakers, students, teachers, and freelancers who want to make good-looking designs quickly without learning professional software.
None beyond using a phone or computer and having an email address. Canva works in the browser and on the phone.
No. The whole course can be completed on the free plan. The trainer shows what the paid plan adds, so you can decide later whether it is worth it for your work.
Canva is enough for your own social media and simple print items. Print shops and design jobs expect Photoshop and CorelDRAW; if that is your aim, take Basic Graphic Design or the full Graphic Design course.
3 Weeks, across 3 modules and about 15 sessions. Weekday and weekend batches cover the same syllabus, so choose the timing that suits you.
Classes run at the techcadd centre in Model Town, Hoshiarpur (Inside City Center, near Bus Stand, Model Town, Hoshiarpur, Punjab 146001), and live online. Both cover the same material, so you can switch if your schedule changes.
Yes. You receive a techcadd Hoshiarpur certificate for Canva after completing the course and its final assessment.
Yes. Counselling and the demo class are free — visit the Model Town centre or book one online, see how the class is run, and then decide.
