How does Online InDesign Training work?
Our virtual InDesign Training sessions have a couple of added bonuses which are:
Many of our clients say they work well for them on working from home days and of course the second bonus is the lack of travel involved which is helping the environment in obvious ways.
This course is available as an Online InDesign Course with live instructor led training which can delivered as a one to one session or to a group of people.
Because it is virtual online training this InDesign Course can be delivered literally at any time of the day 24/7 and at the weekend.
You will have live contact with the instructor throughout your training and be able to share both your screen and see theirs in real time. All the courses featured on the website are available as online training.
Added Bonus about Online InDesign Courses
An added bonus of our online courses is there’s no travel involved meaning less stress on the planet so environmentally it makes great sense.
No fighting traffic or public transport just get up, have tea /coffee, something to eat, turn on the computer and we’ll be there ready to deliver your course.
And by the way we don’t mind if you’re wearing your Jim-Jams or last nights lop-sided party hat.
All our digital design courses are available online. If you have any questions about any of our Online Adobe Training courses please do not hesitate to pick up the phone or drop us an email.
