Build In-House Publishing Capability with Adobe InDesign
Adobe InDesign is the industry-standard page layout and desktop publishing application used to design multi-page documents such as brochures, magazines, reports, eBooks, and interactive PDFs that stay consistent and on-brand across print and screen. Because InDesign combines master pages, paragraph and character styles, and precise typography controls, your team can build long, structured documents quickly and update them at scale without rebuilding each page by hand. This hands-on training prepares your team to move confidently from a blank document to a finished, print-ready and digital-ready layout using InDesign's core workspace, master pages, text, styles, graphics, tables, and output systems.
As organizations produce more branded documents across marketing, sales, communications, and HR, this program helps your teams design professional layouts, manuals, and publications with Adobe InDesign inside real production workflows. Empower your people with expert-led on-site, off-site, and virtual sessions delivered by Edstellar, a premier corporate training provider serving organizations worldwide in-person and virtually across popular languages. Fully customized to your brand guidelines and document types, the program turns Adobe InDesign skills into lasting capabilities that lift performance across your design, marketing, and communications teams.
By the end of the program, your team can set up master pages and document presets, format text with paragraph and character styles, place and manage graphics, build and style tables, apply color and effects, and preflight, package, and export print-ready and interactive PDFs. The result is faster document production, consistent on-brand publications across every channel, less dependence on outside agencies, and an in-house team that can turn content into polished layouts without delay.

A general familiarity with your brand guidelines and the kinds of documents your team produces helps, and team members who already use other Adobe tools will move faster, but the program starts from the InDesign workspace and builds up to master pages, text, styles, graphics, tables, and output, so newcomers can follow along. Edstellar tailors the depth, pace, and examples to your team's current skills and the publications your organization creates, so everyone can apply the methods directly to real projects.
