The Canva presentation pathway
You do not have to start at Level 1. If you already build clean slides, start at Level 2. Each course stands on its own.
Canva at Work: Create Effective Business Presentations
Make your slides clearer and quicker to build. Start here if you have no design background.
Business Presentations: Storytelling, Infographics & AI
You can already build a tidy slide. Now add structure, storytelling, infographics and AI.
AI-Powered Presentations: Create Beautiful Slides, Faster
Use AI to challenge the argument and the order, then rebuild and deliver it.
Use AI to challenge your deck, not just decorate it.
Most people use AI on a presentation at the very end, to tidy wording or generate a picture. That is the smallest thing it can do. The harder and more useful work happens earlier: deciding whether the argument holds up, whether the order makes sense, and whether the audience will follow it.
Over two days you will learn to prompt specifically for presentation work, hand AI a real deck and have it argue with you about the structure, test it against established presentation frameworks, and then rebuild it. Day two moves from the deck to the delivery.
You will also leave with the resources we use ourselves: PowerPoint and infographic assets, and where to find images you are actually licensed to use.
We currently teach this with Claude. The thinking transfers to any capable AI tool — the point is the method, not the brand.
- You prepare presentations, present them, or both
- You already use AI for writing, and suspect you are barely scratching it
- Your decks are accurate but do not land the way you want them to
- You want a repeatable method, not a tour of features
- Prompt AI specifically for presentation tasks, not general writing
- Have AI critique a deck’s structure and find the gaps in your argument
- Apply presentation frameworks with AI, and judge when its answer is wrong
- Build clearer slides faster, using resources you keep
- Deliver the result with more control over pacing and emphasis
What we cover
| Day 1 · AM | Prompting for presentation work: what to give AI so its answer is worth having |
|---|---|
| Day 1 · PM | Hand it your deck: challenging the message, the order and the gaps in the argument |
| Day 2 · AM | Applying presentation structures, then rebuilding the deck with better visuals |
| Day 2 · PM | Delivery: pacing, emphasis and presenting the deck you have just rebuilt |

Upcoming public runs:
AI-Powered Presentations: Create Beautiful Slides, Faster
If you're enquiring for 8 pax and above, we're able to offer you a private run. Ask us about it.
Small classes, better learning
We recommend 10 to 15 participants, and cap every run at 20. These are hands-on workshops — above twenty we can no longer get round the room, look at each person’s screen and fix the actual problem, which is the whole point of coming. Public runs are capped at 10.
Our office @ Raffles Place
- Where every public run is held
- Central, and close to Raffles Place MRT
- Capped at 10, so nobody gets lost at the back
A larger venue, or your own office
- External venues include Paya Lebar Square and the Synergy Room at 190 Clemenceau Avenue, subject to availability
- Or we come to you, which most corporate clients prefer
- Please give us 30 days’ notice for an on-site run, so the room and equipment can be sorted
Bring a laptop and a real presentation you are willing to pull apart. Non-confidential material only — you will be sharing parts of it with the room.

Inside a workshop
A short look at how our sessions run: less lecture, more making.
Every level, in detail
Three levels, from tidying the slides you already have to rebuilding the argument itself. You do not have to start at Level 1 — come in where your current work sits.
-
For: People who already build slides in PowerPoint and want them to read more clearly, without learning a new tool.
- Visual hierarchy on a single slide
- Turning dense text into simple infographics
- Charts and diagrams that can be read quickly
- Consistent formatting across a whole deck
- Working inside your organisation’s own template
You leave with: A set of your own slides, rebuilt.
Not a funded programme. See this course -
For: People who can already build a tidy slide, and now need the deck to carry an argument rather than just display information.
- Finding the key message inside a complex topic
- Three storytelling frameworks, and when each one fits
- Turning processes, comparisons and data into infographics
- Visual hierarchy across a whole deck, not one slide
- Delivering the presentation with confidence
You leave with: A presentation structured around one clear message.
See this course -
For: People who already structure and design well, and want AI to speed up the thinking rather than the formatting.
- Briefing AI with audience, objective and constraints
- Using AI to challenge the argument and the running order
- Drafting and critiquing headlines
- Checking AI output for accuracy, logic and tone
- Rebuilding the deck and delivering it
You leave with: A rebuilt deck, and a method you can use again next week.
Create Business Presentations That Convince
Build a presentation that changes someone’s mind: one clear message, a structure that carries it, and slides that stay out of the way.
- Find the one message the audience has to leave with
- Structure the argument so each slide earns the next
- Design slides that support the point rather than decorate it
- Handle questions and objections without losing the thread
Business Presentations: Storytelling, Infographics & AI
Go past templates: structure the message with storytelling frameworks, then turn complex information into infographics, data visuals and AI-assisted drafts.
- Structure a presentation with SCQA, AIDA or STAR
- Build reusable layouts for recurring presentations
- Turn processes, comparisons and data into clear infographics
- Use AI to develop and critique presentation content
