About this course
Design social posts, brand kits and marketing visuals quickly with Canva + AI tools.
This is a focused 2-week bootcamp - short, intensive and built to give you one job-ready skill fast. It runs online in the August 2026 cohort (starting 1 August 2026) and is taught the EchoLens way: you learn by doing real, gradeable work rather than just watching lectures.
What's included
- Live, instructor-led online sessions across 2 weeks (8 hours total).
- Hands-on coding quests you solve inside the EchoLens browser compiler - nothing to install.
- Gems, stages and a leaderboard that keep you moving instead of grade anxiety.
- A verified certificate with a scannable QR code, ready to share on LinkedIn, when you finish.
- The first week is open free so you can try the course before you pay.
