An excellent and informative course. The day was conducted at a good pace which let us ask many questions. The level was pitched at each of our abilities moving us on well with the training but flexible enough to adapt to our needs.

An excellent session which has helped enormously in filling in gaps in my InDesign knowledge.
We worked through all our agreed set criteria but at a managable pace. I believe the skills learnt on this course will allow me to continue more effectively than ever.
