Adobe InDesign and Photoshop Training in Chester and across Cheshire

This combined InDesign and Photoshop course is designed for organisations across Chester and the wider Cheshire area who want a smooth, practical workflow between both applications. You’ll learn how to create crisp, professional graphics in Photoshop, then take them straight into InDesign to build polished layouts for print or digital use.

Training is delivered onsite at your premises anywhere in Cheshire including Chester, Knutsford, Northwich, Crewe, Ellesmere Port and surrounding areas or as a live online session via Zoom or Teams.

Who is this for

This combined InDesign and Photoshop course is ideal for teams across Chester and Cheshire who need to create professional graphics and layouts as part of their day‑to‑day work. It suits:

  • Marketing and communications teams producing brochures, posters, social graphics and branded materials

  • Small businesses and local organisations who want to improve the quality of their in‑house design work

  • Administrators and office staff who regularly create newsletters, leaflets or internal documents

  • Design beginners who want a clear, confidence‑building introduction to both applications

  • Existing users who know one program but want to understand how Photoshop and InDesign work together as a smooth workflow

IOrganisations across Cheshire use this course for many different reasons from councils improving the quality of their public‑facing documents, to education teams creating clearer resources, to small businesses wanting sharper marketing materials. The training adapts to the type of work you produce, giving you a practical workflow you can use immediately in your day‑to‑day projects.

How the training works

The course is delivered in a clear, structured format with a mix of demonstration and guided practice. You’ll work directly in both Photoshop and InDesign, learning each feature through practical, real‑world exercises based on the types of documents your organisation produces.

Training can be delivered in full‑day sessions onsite across Chester and Cheshire, or as flexible online options:

  • Half‑Day Online Training perfect if you prefer shorter, focused learning blocks

  • Short Sprint Sessions (2 hours)  ideal for quick, practical topics or busy teams who want fast results without committing to a longer session

  • Lifetime after course support via email, recorded video, or in the case of a particularly tricky topic via an online meeting


All formats include plenty of time for questions, repetition and hands‑on support. As you progress, the content can be adapted to match your projects, brochures, newsletters, reports or internal documents so the training stays relevant to your day‑to‑day work.
