The InDesign Training is run onsite at your premises and follows a similar pattern to traditional training except the trainer travels to you and not vice versa. 

This, of course saves a fortune on travel, hotel accommodation and expenses. The course can be run for individual training, small company groups, team rollouts at dates and times that suit you.

This course assumes you have basic skills and understanding of the tools and features in Illustrator. 

The course is designed for those looking to take a creative pathway in fashion design and would find this course extremely useful if working toward a certificate in Fashion Design elsewhere. It is an ideal supplementary training course.

It is perfect for anyone looking to extend their digital art and graphical knowledge in Adobe Illustrator.

This onsite Illustrator course teaches how to create fashion garments from flats, work with and design patterns of lace and materials and understand the in-depth working of the software.
