Canvas Certification Training

All faculty must be certified to use Canvas at De Anza College.

By completing Canvas Certification Training, you will be certified to use Canvas for online, hybrid or face-to-face classes.

Your Canvas account will be created when you sign up for a Module 2 workshop and you will receive an email with instructions. Upon completion of Module 3, you will be prompted to sign up for your Module 4 workshop.


Certification training is divided into four parts:

  • Module 1 - 1 hour, online/self-paced
  • Module 2 - 2 hours, workshop/webinar
  • Module 3 - 3 hours, online/self-paced
  • Module 4 - 1 hour, workshop/webinar

Module 2

If you are new to Canvas, this is where you start. After you sign up for Module 2, you will receive a first email within a few days giving you access to Canvas and our online Certification Training course. There you will read through Module 1 and complete the activities at the end of Module 1 on your own before attending the Module 2 workshop via Zoom.

You will receive a second email within a day or two of the Module 2 workshop you choose with the Zoom link.
