InDesign Introduction Course Overview
Learn the essentials of Adobe InDesign, from understanding the workspace, panels and tools through to setting up documents correctly. The course introduces the core layout features you’ll use every day, including text frames, image frames, grids and alignment tools to build clear, structured designs.
You’ll work with paragraph styles, character styles and modern typographic controls to format text consistently and professionally. Images are covered in a practical way too, from placing and fitting through to managing links, transparency and basic adjustments.
Real‑world layout projects such as brochures, flyers, posters and reports help you build confidence quickly. You’ll also use master pages, templates, libraries and colour swatches to keep multi‑page documents organised and consistent.
Essential design tools such as shapes, lines, tables, guides, margins and columns support you in creating balanced, polished layouts. The course finishes with preparing documents for high‑quality output, including packaging files, preflight checks, bleed settings and exporting to print‑ready PDF or interactive digital formats.
Live online InDesign Training is delivered through Zoom, Teams or Google Meet, with the same hands‑on, practical approach as onsite sessions. Online delivery works especially well for individuals, remote teams and anyone preferring flexible learning.
You’ll also explore InDesign’s latest AI‑assisted features, including the Contextual Task Pane and Style Packs, to help streamline layout creation and support beginners with guided tools.

Greta Powell Training Verified Reviews
An excellent and informative course. The day was conducted at a good pace which let us ask many questions. The level was pitched at each of our abilities moving us on well with the training but flexible enought to adapt to our needs.
Managing Editor
An excellent session which has helped enormously in filling in gaps in my InDesign knowledge.
We worked through all our agreed set criteria but at a managable pace. I believe the skills learnt on this course will allow me to continue more effectively than ever.
