Smartly designed to have us encounter new tips and tricks as we move. All the resources helped understanding. I am no visual design expert, nor even a functional expert in the tool itself. But I know much, much more now than I did at the start of the course.

I am deaf retired artist...I enjoy reading your subtitles closed captions. It would be helpful to me learning and understanding....

I find it helpful in keeping me engaged with the tools by doing complex projects together step by step. I am taking another course where i am shown how different tools are used then given something to recreate on my own and then shown how. i find my mind wondering during the demonstrations so i have to stop and rewind. You're technique I'm creating while learning. Also rehearing the short cut keys even later in the course is very helpful.

I think it was good! A few times my InDesign didn't align with that she was saying but a quick search and I found it! ie using master pages but now it's called a parent in my program. Otherwise really great!

This course was a great beginners 101 course on InDesign. I learned a lot, and completing it in one week was good because it kept my newly acquired skills fresh. I feel as though I got a good overview of InDesign - enough to get me comfortable working in the program. Thank you!

Yes, this course is perfect for me. I think she explains it very well. As a beginner in InDesign I can easily follow her instructions and am learning a lot. Looking forward to adding InDesign to my resume!

The trainer was really personable and explained things very clearly. It was enjoyable to work along with her to create these beautiful documents. She gave many shortcuts that will be very helpful to me in practice. Thank you so much!!

I really enjoyed doing this course! The exercises were fun, Kate's way of explaining is great and clear, and I feel like I really learnt! It inspired me to start my own personal projects.

Love to course. I am an amateur Adobe InDesign user and the course helped me with many shortcuts and features I did not know the software was offering. It will definitely save me significant time with my future design projects. Totally recommend it.

So far really enjoying the course exercises! I tend to have 'Technophobia' usually lol but Kate makes InDesign so easy to understand! and I think I am doing a pretty good job so far so thanks Kate!!
