QUARKXPRESS 2 The aim is to provide you with training that
fits as closely as possible with your day-to-day work. You can even bring
your own files to work on during the course.
"Everything was very useful, relevant to my work and our tutor was clear
and helpful, and worked at a good pace."
Parthian delegate
You'll have sole use of a PC, using QuarkXPress version 7. We restrict
numbers to eight delegates per course to ensure a high level of personal
tuition. Before attending, you'll need a good working knowledge of Quark,
including the basics of styles, text flow, images and typography. You can
get this from QuarkXPress 1.
