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.  We 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).
