Training Class for Quark or Pagemaker users
We offer a 2-day custom InDesign class specifically designed for current Quark or Pagemaker users
There are still a few users of Quark and Pagemaker you have seen a massive shift to Adobe InDesign and unfortunately have been forced to migrate to Adobe InDesign which hs been the de facto industry standard layout tool for some time.
As this user base is relatively small, we can only offer private classes either individually or to a group. The class is just 2 days and can be taught either at your office or remotely via our online virtual classroom
Our InDesign training and
support team have over 15 years experience developing and teaching Adobe applications.
Please contact training@americanmediatraining.com if
you would like more information on our InDesign custom training classes.
