Canvas is our Virtual Learning platform where you will find all the essential information related to your programme/course including course content, slide decks, workshop materials, etc. Most importantly, you will be submitting your assignments and receiving feedback and grades through this platform.

You will receive your Canvas credentials when your registration is complete. It is important that you log into Canvas as soon as possible. Some participants experience difficulties logging in due to technical, corporate firewall and/or other issues. We have noticed that these can take a few days to rectify which can impact your ability to access course work. Hence, we ask that you log on as soon as possible to ensure any potential technical issues can be resolved promptly.
