InDesign ePubs Course

This InDesign ePubs course shows you how to use InDesign to create, design and publish digital publications and eBooks.

On the course you will learn how to create ePubs from scratch and then export to a variety of different platforms including PDF’s and MOBI format.

Our ePub’s Courses are delivered both onsite at your premises across the UK or as Online InDesign ePubs sessions. This InDesign Training is ideal for either one to ones or small company groups.

 

ePubs courses are flexible and provide a broad overview of the different options available when publishing digital design. You will learn how interactive documents are built, how to flow text /images correctly for multiple screen readers including Kindles, iPads and so forth.

Online InDesign ePubs Course

It is also available as a virtual Online InDesign Course with live instructor led training that can be delivered as a one to one session or to a group of people. Because it is virtual online training it can be delivered literally at any time of the day at your convenience.

You don’t need to be a great expert in InDesign to take this course but it really helps if you have experience with the software and are comfortable with creating document layouts and working with text and images.

If you don’t feel that you have enough knowledge you might like to consider sitting on our  InDesign Introduction Course.

We are happy to tailor content and can always blend elements from both courses together if you prefer.
