This class was excellent! I enjoyed the instructor and the content. The instructor was VERY knowledgeable and relayed the information with precision and patience! I'm glad I took this course. If you're looking to learn the basics of InDesign, this is the right course for you, with Eugenio!

I would recommend the class to anyone with little or no experience in InDesign who wants to get started using the product.

The class was a quick way to get the information I needed to start my book publishing project.

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!


World Animal Protection

A great way to set up any student for basic InDesign use for creating different print publications - learn to be flexible and creative with this class and the guides and templates that you can take with you!


GVSHP

InDesign in a Day really gave me all the tools needed to successfully begin creating content using Adobe InDesign.


MAC Cosmetics

Everything you always wanted to know about InDesign in one day. No prior knowledge needed and you will still be able to create your first magazine spread by 4:30 pm.


UNDP

InDesign in a Day gave me everything I needed and wanted to learn for my job (and more!). The syllabus develops from topic to topic to give you a full understanding of the application.


Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC

Adobe InDesign in a Day was a terrific crash course. A plethora of material was covered in a very short period of time, the instructors are articulate yet fun which makes the class fly by!

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!


The Estee Lauder Companies

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.


The Real Deal

Dan did an incredible job covering the basics! I left the class feeling so much more comfortable about using inDesign in the future. Can't wait to put my new skills to use.


amfAR

This class was amazing! I would absolutely recommend it to a beginner in InDesign, I can't wait to use the techniques I learned in real life!


Lee & Associates NYC

Was definitely worried about learning InDesign in one day as I wasn't sure how much I could truly learn but this class was amazing. Taught me a bunch of skills that I can take back to my team and begin executing against.

"Can't wait to take another class!"


American Management Association

Dan was a great instructor, very clear and engaging when reviewing the materials. I feel confident in with my new skills!

Eugenio, the instructor, was very helpful and available.

Eugenio is very knowledgeable and kind, and teaches with great detail and explanation. He's able to teach a lot in a short amount of time and is always willing to answer questions. Great course!

Eugenio was very professional, interactive, knowledgeable, easy-going, and funny.

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.

Very comprehensive content! I feel like I finished the class with a good working knowledge of InDesign, and am ready to apply what I've learned towards a career in Graphic Design. Eugenio kept the class at a steady pace each time, and was flexible about pausing to answer questions.
