The trainer provided the course at a good pace (I'm a complete beginner with no previous InDesign experience or other Adobe applications), space for questions, covered a range of topics to enable me to carry out tasks in my new job e.g. donor proposals, reports etc. Plus interesting information about design principles, printing, colour, typography etc.

Donna was lovely and personable, great at explaining things and took the time to explain things differently and re-demo where needed. Excellent content and looking forward to putting what I have learnt into practice on bid documents!

The course gave me exactly what I needed to start using InDesign in my role. I now feel confident I can set-up a fully branded template and then easily use it to create professional documents. That felt very daunting before completing the course! I found the sessions interactive and delivered at the right pace, with the exercises helping me embed what was being taught. Donna's knowledge was clear, always willing and able to accommodate additional questions into the sessions.
