InDesign Training Courses

We provide everything that you will need for a fun, productive day of training.

Everyone has their own computer to work on in a comfortable, bright, air conditioned room.

We provide plenty of tea, coffee & biscuits, a delicious, freshly prepared lunch and a USB stick so that you can take files home with you.

We provide 6 months of post course support as well.

If you get stuck on anything relating to the course simply get in touch and explain the issue.

We will make sure your trainer contacts you as soon as possible to help you out.

We don’t want to be the biggest training company but we are trying to be the best.

We have now won the Feefo Gold Award for customer service for 6 years in a row.

We always limit our classes to a maximum of 8 delegates but try to keep them smaller. During 2018 our average class size was 4 people.

To back up our promise of great training we offer a 100% money back guarantee.

Our focus is on you being a faster, more capable InDesign user when you return to work.

Our courses combine traditional teaching to explain new concepts and tools with hands-on exercises.

The exercises ensure that you get plenty of time to try out what you have just been taught and make sure that you really understand it.

We also make sure that there is plenty of time for you to ask questions in case there is anything you are unsure of.

Yes we are.

We are authorised by Adobe to run courses at our Guildford centre and also at our client’s offices.

Adobe has not been creating new AATC’s in London for some time. This means that we are currently unable to get official Adobe authorised training centre status in London.

We hope to during 2019 and be assured that our London courses are run to exactly the same standard as those in Guildford.

Illustrator is used to create graphics (maps, plans, icons, infographics, graphs, logos etc).

InDesign is used to create and format documents (magazines, flyers etc).

The two applications work hand in hand and Adobe have designed them that way so that transferring files from one to the other is very simple.

The best way to think of it is that unless the graphics that you create in Illustrator are going to be used completely stand-alone, you will need to transfer them to another computer package to include them in a magazine or poster. InDesign is an application designed specifically for that.

Alternatively we’d be very happy to discuss it with during one of the breaks during your course.

Yes, layers are covered in our course for InDesign beginners.

However, Layers in Photoshop are very different from Layers in InDesign and Illustrator so… don’t be expecting the same… they’re easier!

Of course… it’s what InDesign is designed for!

If you attend our course for InDesign beginners you’ll be able to quickly create a beautiful flyer or poster very quickly in InDesign.

This article on InDesign flyers gives you lots of templates and examples of the types of things you’ll be able to create after your training course with us.

No… InDesign is practically identical on Mac and Windows platforms.

There are incredibly few difference but we’re happy to discuss these with you during any of our classes.

Come dressed in whatever you find most comfortable. Most people on our courses dress casually.

Yes! We will provide everyone attending a course with a certificate to show attendance and your ability to use the software.

We accept direct bank transfers and credit card payments.

We charge 2% for payments made on company credit cards.

When you book a course on our website we will be alerted of that in the office. We will then process your booking and reply to your booking with an email which hopefully contains all of the details that you need.

When you receive it please read it carefully, it will contain:

1. A VAT invoice which is due for payment 14 days before the course.
2. Full venue details & location. This includes suggested routes of travel to the venue and instructions for the day.
3. A confirmation of your booking course, dates and location.

Please note that if you are an individual making a booking for yourself less than 14 days before the course we will require payment at the point of booking.

No other than your travel to the course venue.

We provide everything that you need for a great day’s training.

This includes lunch, tea, coffee & biscuits, a full-colour manual to keep and pens, pads and a USB stick.

We cover creating tables of contents when you attend our course for advanced InDesign users.

Tables of contents can be quickly and simply created and updated if you set them up correctly.

Libraries are covered towards the end of our 2-day advanced InDesign class.

As noted above they can speed up your workflow substantially.
