Adobe InDesign Intermediate Training Course

Our Adobe InDesign Intermediate Sheffield Training and Yorkshire build on existing skills to give you the ability to work on much longer and more complex documents such as product catalogues and in-depth documents.
We deliver this either as an onsite InDesign Course hosted on your premises or as interactive InDesign training sessions held with a live instructor.

These courses are ideal for company groups or one to one sessions with flexible times and dates to suit you.
