I find Tim's approach at teaching to be very detailed but not overwhelming! I loved his Illustrator course and I'm loving this InDesign course as well. Everything's so easy to follow and I've managed to create my own little projects because of how effective he is as a designer and teacher!

Its been 15 years since I last worked with InDesign and this course has been fantastic as a refresher course for me. The fundamentals of DTP havent changed but the program has had many updates over the years so this has been the best way for me to ease back into the industry

This InDesign course was an absolute breeze, transforming what I thought would be a tough course to complete, into an intuitive and enjoyable experience. A heartfelt ‘’Thank You’’ to Tim Wilson who made it incredibly easy to follow, by breaking down the complex and intimidating InDesign interface and makes it approachable through projects and explanations behind different steps. His engaging teaching style removed the frustration, making me feel comfortable with the interface almost immediately—a truly top-notch, beginner-friendly experience that is worth every penny!

its been an absolutely great learning through this module. the course is very well taught and is taught in such a detailed manner that by the end of the topic i have the least amount of doubts.

I feel I have a very good grasp of InDesign after watching this course. The instructor did a great job covering everything important and then putting it to practice in the projects. The only thing that's still confusing to me is how the brochures are supposed to look once they're printed and folded.

Well done, very informative. I had used InDesign for many years as an art director, but not for several years now. This was a good refresher to brush up on what I had already known. I am amazed at how much I remembered, but this course was great.

Thank you so much for your excellent teaching! You explain everything in such a clear and easy-to-understand way, making learning a truly enjoyable experience. I really appreciate the effort you put into making each concept easy to grasp.

Tim is a legend! What a great tutor. He literally took me from zero knowledge to an expert user of InDesign. He is not long-winded and uses fewer words to get the point across so succinctly. Other tutors tend to use too many words that confuse us. Honestly, Tim is great. His methods are thorough and excellent in numerous ways. Thank you, Tim Wilson. Thank you!

I am not a beginner in Indesign and this course was a really good refresh and i learned some new things as well! Specially the section about tables is great. I wish i had this videos when i learned to work with tables in Indesign. All explanations are really good and easy to follow. Also i got great support on any question i had . Thanks a lot! I bought his Adobe express course now and i am sure its great too.

It was very well put together and easy to follow along. I have worked in the graphic arts field for over 13 years up until the early 2000's. I had not got to work in the graphic design field since then because of the lack of jobs in this field in our rural area. I am now working as a public relations coordinator and am elated to be doing the creative cloud suite of software! Of course there has been some changes since I worked in this field so long ago but some things are like riding a bike, you never forget! My job allows me to expand my skills by taking courses. I have learned a lot and plan to move on to illustrator and photoshop courses next.
