Suggested Prerequisites
This class is not intended for people brand new to InDesign. If you’ve never created an InDesign document before, we’d suggest our introductory 2-day Adobe InDesign Essentials class as a prerequisite. While not required to attend we strongly suggest that students bring their personal e-reader such as an iPad or Kindle to test projects on (We can provide one for use int he class, if notice is given at registration). We also recommend that you have the Adobe InDesign software before starting the class. You can purchase the software or obtain a trial version of it from the Adobe website.
