  "I’ve gathered the team’s feedback and we all wanted to say how valuable we found the two-day InDesign course. It gave us a clear understanding of everything from setting up documents and working with text, images and layouts to using colour, shared libraries and export options. Seeing how we can apply these skills to the materials we create as a team was especially useful. Matt was brilliant and is a real asset to your team. He explained each step clearly, made a lot of information feel approachable and gave us the confidence to ask questions and practise as we went. We’ve come away feeling much more confident about using InDesign in our day-to-day work."
