Why take this course?
Learn InDesign in an Hour will do exactly that – teach you the essentials of Adobe InDesign in just one hour. Will you learn absolutely everything about InDesign? Not quite, but you will learn roughly 80% of what I generally cover on a 2 day InDesign Introduction course when I teach in London, which I’ve been doing for over 20 years.
In order to do that I’ve had to strip the course down to only the absolute essentials to keep it as lean as I can. So don’t expect long rambling explanations, long inspirational speeches or needless technical jargon – but do expect to learn the key features.
If you want to know what InDesign is all about, learn its key skills, approaches and best practices, you’ll get that all here. Without needing to watch a course that lasts several hours. This is perfect if you are self-motivated and want to get the essentials right before working out the rest on your own. If, however, you're looking for a slow-paced course with lots of theory, discussion, homework and practical projects, this one isn't for you.
Do you want to get to grips with InDesign as fast as possible? Without missing any of the key features? Then this is the course for you.
