InDesign Course – how it works
This is onsite InDesign training delivered on your premises for either individuals or small company groups. You benefit from this more personal approach to InDesign training as:
- The training is focused entirely on your and your company requirements
- No traveling involved for you or your team
- The approach is focused specifically on you and your specific needs this is not a generic one size fits all course.
- Prior to the training you chat with me about your aims, content preferences and levels of delegate /s knowledge, the InDesign course is then tailored to suit you / or your team
- Flexible dates to suit
