In this two-day Beginners Adobe InDesign course, you'll learn the skills of desktop publishing and best practice for setting up your documents. You'll cover workflows, the toolbar and interface, before moving on to more advanced topics such as pre-flight checks and getting ready for commercial print.
InDesign is an industry-standard desktop publishing package used to create flyers, posters, magazines, books and even e-books.
We also dedicate time for you to ask us real-life questions to gain knowledge of doing something with the software relevant to you. This course is ideal for those new to InDesign, and by the end of it, you'll be comfortable setting up a job ready for print. You'll also learn about managing pagination and knowing how to make necessary checks before printing.
Finally, we offer six months of email support on all of our courses. If you get stuck on something (as long as it's in your course outline), drop us an email, and your trainer will get back to you with a solution.

Most of our Adobe courses come with a free Adobe authorised training manual for your reference during and after the training. The courses where no manual is available come with comprehensive notes for you to take away with you. We always have a maximum of six delegates in our classrooms which will give you more one on one time with the instructor.
You are encouraged to ask us examples of how to do things that you need to learn for you role. We try and tailor a portion of the day to accommodate this, so that everybody leaves with relevant knowledge suited to their job.
Our trainers are all Adobe certified (Adobe Certified Instructors) and more importantly, have worked in relevant roles using all of the software they teach. We check all of our trainers credentials thoroughly before we employ them, to give you the student, the very best learning experience.
