Indesign Cs3 - Advanced (Adobe Authorised)

Requirements:
Because of the amount of material we cover in class, we do require students to be comfortable using a mouse, opening and saving fi les, and the general operations of computers. While we will make every reasonable effort to help, students with insufficient skills mabe required to observe the class lessons or do their best to keep up without slowing down the rest of the class. We highly recommend working with the application tutorial before coming to the course. In addition, students are required to be relatively well-versed in the basics of Adobe InDesign.
Course Summary
This class provides the InDesign user the ability to hone their skills and move their knowledge of Adobe InDesign CS3 to an advanced level.
Using the skills learned in the Level I class, students will create complex documents and work with a variety of palettes and tools to further understand the capabilities of this high-end design application. We also recommend this course for those planning to obtain the Adobe Certified
Expert status.
