InDesign CS4

Adobe InDesign
This Adobe InDesign training course aims to enable delegates to be able to produce a broad range of documents including newsletters, product leaflets, adverts, posters and sales material for either internal use or for commercial printing

Course Duration 2 Days
This Adobe InDesign training course can also be tailored to one day if preferred but naturally cannot therefore cover all items in the course profile.

Addresses these issues:

How do I use Adobe InDesign to produce a series of product information brochures?

How can we make our newsletter look more "professional"?

How do I create product specification sheets so our commercial printer can use them?

Insight Software Training Ltd supplies training courses in Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe PageMaker, QuarkXPress and CorelDraw. Our Adobe InDesign Training course is for Adobe InDesign CS4 but we can supply training for Adobe InDesign version 1.5 and 2 as well as CS3, although we strongly recommend you upgrade to the most recent version - Adobe InDesign CS4.

Our Adobe Illustrator training course is also designed for Adobe Illustrator CS4 but we can easily adjust it to suit Adobe Illustrator 9 or Adobe Illustrator 10. Our Adobe Photoshop training course is designed for Adobe Photoshop CS4 but again we can easily adjust it to suit Adobe Photoshop 6 or Adobe Photoshop 7. Our QuarkXpress training course is designed to cater for QuarkXpress version 8, 7, 6 or 6.5 but we can also supply a QuarkXpress training course for version 5 or for QuarkXpress version 4.

Your Adobe InDesign Training course can be tailored to suit your precise requirements and you can send us examples of the types of document you want to be able to produce. The Adobe InDesign Training course is held at your workplace on your own equipment. Usually it is best to arrange to use a conference room or training room if you have it - this avoids any unnecessary distractions during the course. We advise that you are given some time after the course over a period of several days to explore the software and explore what you have learned on the Adobe InDesign Training course. If you do not use Adobe InDesign for a month or so you will probably have forgotten all you learned on your training course!

This Adobe InDesign CS4 Training course is available for complete novices, ex Quark users and for those who have had some experience of Adobe InDesign. The Adobe InDesign Training course outline gives a brief overview of the areas covered on the Adobe InDesign Training CS4 course but more advanced users can choose the areas they are interested in.
