Microsoft Publisher 2013 Advanced Course

On this Microsoft Publisher 2013 Advanced Course you will both fine tune and build on skills learnt either on the Publisher 2013 Introduction course or from your work. Publisher is perfect for small businesses and home users looking to create smart, modern and professional documents. It is ideal for closed company groups or individuals and provides a flexible approach for those looking for a tailored course. 

 

During the Publisher course you will learn how to create and layout documents using grids, work with paragraph styles for consistent text and manipulate image placement. You will also find out how to work with colour and typography to created highly communicative, branded and attractive professional documents. The course is ideal for large team roll outs, company training groups or individuals looking to get a firm grip on the software and the document publishing process.

You will learn how to build documents quickly and efficiently including newsletters, business stationery and longer documents such as brochures. As this Publisher course is aimed at the business user who is looking to cut costs from external design agencies it can be focused on creation of marketing materials, POS, banners and, of course PDF creation. 

  • Create & Layout Documents using Printers Marks, Crops, Bleed & Slug
  • Grids & Guides for Accurate Placement of Layout Objects
  • Paragraph & Character Styles for Consistent Type
  • Work with & use Colour for Print Production
  • Create PDFs
  • Use Hyperlinks

This Microsoft Publisher Course content takes between one and two days depending on the amount of people sitting on the training – for one person a day usually suffices but for small groups of between 4 and 6 people two days is more realistic.  As well as instructor led I can also offer Publisher training as a workshop, consultancy or at your desk side and provide perfectly tailored MS Publisher training so elements from the Introduction course can be included in the advanced (and vice versa of course).

 

We also work through your current documents together and  

  • The training is focused entirely on your and your company requirements

  • There is no traveling involved for you or your team saving staff travel & expenses

  • Cheaper than traditional training

  • 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

If you are considering getting a large number of people trained or are simply short of computers at the venue. If so, then I can supply laptops and projector hire and take care of all aspects of your Publisher training  – again, please don’t hesitate to get in touch for an informal chat about your needs.
