Canva Verified Expert + Canva Designer

What is the difference between a Canva Verified Expert and a Canvassador?
Currently there are over 1000 Canvassadors worldwide, but only 45 Canva Verified Experts.
A Canvassador is less of a teacher, trainer and educator and more like an “ambassador” for Canva – someone who loves the product and shares it with their communities. They are recognised for being community leaders and often represent Canva users from different Canva communities like Education, Creators and the Design Community.

How do I become a Canva Verified Expert?
Currently there is no clear path to becoming a CVE. Canva Verified Experts are recommended by Canva’s team and their Community Managers throughout the year. Some of the criteria for acceptance into the program include having an engaged and active audience, consistently creating and sharing content around Canva’s products and features, a love of teaching and empowering others, and being an active member in one of Canva’s communities.Â
