  • I have recently completed the Adobe InDesign 301 and I have to say the tutor was the best of the course. What an excellent tutor! An excellent communicator well versed in teaching the software. The classroom layout was fantastic, with people from different countries. If anyone had any problems, Charles was happy to help. Plus, once the course was completed you could continue your learning or go over a process again by accessing Academy Class tutorial videos. Totally recommended it.

  • I think this training has completely changed my job role (for the better) because I have been able to work as a teacher of InDesign since I took it. A content of high quality, with a centre that has facilities in great conditions. The tutor really surprised, he was well informed, and every student felt confident with him. A good experience that I would like to recommend.

About this course

• Use InDesigns advanced formatting features to style complex documents
• Optimise documents for professional printing using preflight
• Colour manage documents for a consistent workflow
• Create TOC, index and dynamic image caption
• Applying advanced table formatting

This class is for advanced users of InDesign with firm understanding of all the general concepts of using the application. On this course, we learn the most advanced techniques. This course is quite intense, so for those with doubts in their knowledge we recommend the InDesign Yellow Belt and Green Belt courses first or to consult our sales team and the instructors.

You should have a robust understanding of working with images and typography, using styles, master pages and layers. Since the inDesign 301: Black Belt course is very intense it is advised to have finished the Indesign 101 Yellow Belt and 201 Green Belt courses first.
