Adobe InDesign CC - Essentials Training Course (Udemy.com)

I've been using InDesign since before it was InDesign and I learned things I didn't know existed in this Application. Great instruction and great instructor. She touches on so many time saving and productive features for design and beyond! A great all around course for learning the In's and Out's of this Application.

Khara is not Dan. Khara is very knowledgable, engaging and easy to understand. I bought the course on the premise that Dan was teaching the course initially. Dan's methodology and way of teaching is what I am and was expecting. Regarding Khara, the course is still very well laid out and easy to understand. She provides a lot full of useful and practical steps and info. I appreciate that they updated the course of 2026. I initially bought knowing I bought a slightly outdated course. The fundaments were the same. As mentioned, I was expecting and expected you: Dan as a teacher. I do understand that updating all the old courses takes time. Your time is important. I also want to say thank you for not making a separate course and having us repurchase the course. This is and was very considerate. Would have I paid for an updated version of you teaching probably. Unfortunately, there is a bit of loss of trust. Would I recommend your other videos? I am not sure. If I recommend someone to buy your course and then the person gets someone else... that makes me look bad and unreliable. I appreciate you took a lot of time to evaluate a suitable teacher. I have watched and do watch Khara on other platforms; she is knowledgable, professional, and well versed in InDesign. The course I bought was under your name and was initially with you. Your style and methodology is what I what I paid for and expected. I don't want to spend hours on YouTube watching your old videos being interrupted with ads and such. The point is I am now reluctant to recommend others to buy your courses, as you may not be the teacher or the course teacher may suddenly change.

I am a 67 year old newbie to In Design. Thank you for making all this so simple to understand.

I found this course really easy to go through. I loved the "Homework" as it encouraged me to go back through the videos if I did not fully understand something. I liked Dans style of teaching. Everything was clear and easy to understand. Because of this, I'll be looking into attending more of his training courses. 5/5 from me!

I'm glad I picked Dan's course among the many courses of InDesign out there. He's funny and makes the lessons easy to understand. However, he has the tendency to speak really fast, so I have to go back and pause to make sure I am able to follow. But overall, I enjoyed this course and learned a lot - coming from zero InDesign background. I'm now excited to try other designs using everything I learned from this course.

I just finished Dan Scott's InDesign Essentials course and I wish I'd done it before his Photoshop and Illustrator courses. It covers the basic Adobe ecosystem tools and workflow more thoroughly than the others, which actually makes it the perfect introduction to Adobe as a whole. The fundamentals are explained clearly and by the end you'll have a better handle on document layout than most people who've used Word for a decade. Dan's teaching style is as strong here as in his other courses. My only frustration was with my own workflow — I kept running into issues with primary text frames not flowing properly through columns and pages, which I'm hoping the Advanced course will help me sort out. That's a me and InDesign problem, not a Dan Scott problem. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a solid foundation in InDesign.

I enjoyed this course very much. Dan's delivery was clear and engaging. We say when some one is good at something they make it look easy, and he does. I did have trouble when trying to do the project because some times InDesign didn't do what Dan's InDesign did even though I slowed down and rewatched the videos. Consequently, I stopped doing the projects. I want to practice. I did reach out to Adobe and they helped, but left on my own I still struggled. Is there a cheat sheet to ask questions and problem solve so I can be successful? Also, can I get the short cuts from Udemy? Thank you for this amazing course!

So far the class is very informative and I really appreciate that several ways to do the same thing get shown pretty often. The instructor does go very quickly, though, and I often have to pause the video and back it up to see all of the keystrokes and menu selections that are being made.

It was very informative. Mr. Dan Scott was easy to follow both in terms of participating in his examples, as well as being able to return to previous videos in order to recall what exactly you needed to do. Overall, very handy, as well as accessible to those both new and more used to InDesign. I had a good time doing this cursus and very much do recommend it.

Nice, easy to follow! Explaining some concepts for print newbies (slug!!) is super helpful! Update: Still easy to follow, even though I do repeat some clips as I am working with the instructor. Neat stuff. I would have NO idea about half of the features in InDesign if not for this course. :)
