Adobe InDesign in a Day was the perfect class to get me started on using the software for work right away! We learned how to lay out text and images and create practical and fanciful pieces, relevant to both professional and personal interests! Michele was engaging throughout the entire day and really kept the pace of the class up. I would recommend this class to anyone looking for a jump start to getting the most out of Adobe Creative Cloud!

Jackie Olson
Great class to get you up and running with the basics of InDesign and the different features that it offers. 5/5

Sneha was a fantastic, patient instructor who made things really easy to understand. I haven't used InDesign in over 10 years and it was a really easy guide to jump right back in. I would definitely recommend taking a class with her - she knows what she's doing and helps you along the way!

A great class if you're starting from scratch or need to brush up on beginner skills. The workbook provided with the class is also an excellent step-by-step reference that could easily be used as a guide to help with independent projects.

My instructor was personable and very equipped to be teaching this course. She was good at explaining concepts in a way that people who weren't very familiar with Adobe could understand. Although I was online, I felt like she created a good atmosphere.
