Do you record the online training sessions?

We do, but unfortunately due to privacy concerns we are only able to record one to one sessions or closed company courses

The Adobe InDesign Training is an extremely flexible course and can be organised for one to one sessions, company groups /workshops and larger team roll-outs.

Onsite training offers great flexibility with both course content and dates and times which can all be worked around you.

Pre-Course InDesign Training Meeting

Before every course we arrange a pre-course meeting where we discuss the course content and tailor it where necessary and sort out any logistics.

  • The InDesign Training is hands on, you can use your own files and branding for the training
  • The course is focused on you and your team as there are no external attendees.
  • Prior to the course you chat about the course with the trainer and have a clear structure.
  • Flexible dates and times

This Introduction to InDesign Course is very flexible. Content can be added or removed and you are more than welcome to bring your own files /work with you. You will learn how to edit existing documents and create new ones from scratch using printers marks and grids for precise layout.

During the course you will find out about the InDesign interface, Properties Panel, Window Menu and Tools bar and how to use these to design a variety of spreads and layouts.

As you near the end of the training you will learn how to create interactive PDF’s and print documents and best practice for publishing in both formats.

The full InDesign Introduction Course overview is below but in short you will learn how to: 
  • Edit & Update existing documents
  • New Document Set-Up /Bleed /Slug etc
  • Workspace, Window Menu & Tools 
  • Colour, Swatches & Pantones
  • Grids, Guides for Layout

The major benefit of Online InDesign Training has to be environmental. With no travel involved it lightens your carbon footprint so helping the planet to breath easier.

It also goes without saying you get  extra time in the morning to drink coffee, sleep later, etc, etc

Plus we’re not fussed if you turn up wearing last nights party hat and your jim-jams.

Bonus we think?

We’re aware that not everyone likes their training crammed into a full day so we offer bite-sized InDesign Training by splitting a full day into two half day sessions.

Please note we can only offer this for Online Adobe InDesign Training sessions.
