This page helps you understand how to get certification from Canva's Design School through a short test after taking a course.

What is Design School Accreditation?
At Canva, you can gain accreditation by completing a Design School course and passing a brief test to earn a certificate. You can share these certificates on social media or add them to your LinkedIn profile. This feature is available to all Canva account holders. Our current courses with certification options include:

• Graphic Design Essentials
• Teacher Essentials

You'll find the certification option at the end of the course lessons.

How to Take the Certification Test:

1. Head to the course completion page.
2. Click on 'Take Test' or 'Let's Start.'
3. Make sure you're logged into your Canva account.
4. Answer questions and click 'Check Answer.'
5. Continue to the next question when correct, and finish when done.

Certification Sharing and Download Options
Once you've completed the test, your award page will show your certification details. You can easily share your achievement using 'Share on socials' or 'Add to LinkedIn profile.' You'll also receive an email with a link to your certification.

Downloading Certificates and Badges:

1. Visit the course completion page.
2. Select the 'Download' option.
3. Choose between a PDF certificate or a badge, or download both.

Ensuring All Details Are Correct:
If your name appears incorrectly on the PDF (especially for languages like Arabic, Bengali, Tamil, etc.), check your account settings and adjust your language preference as needed.

Note for Assistive Technology Users:

1. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Privacy and Sharing Concerns:
When you share your certificate, individuals with the link can view it. The certificate will include your name, as displayed in your Canva account, but no additional personal information.
