Which InDesign course should I take?
If you are new to Adobe InDesign, start with InDesign Introduction. It teaches the fundamentals of good page layout, and you don’t need any previous experience. If you already use InDesign, look at the Intermediate or Advanced course, depending on your level of experience. If you want to create interactive eBooks and digital PDFs, and already have some experience of InDesign, take the InDesign Interactive course.
The right course depends on two things: how much experience you already have, and what you want to create.

Adobe InDesign Introduction: design page layouts with precision
9.7/10 from 4,156 reviews
This is the place to start if you are new to Adobe InDesign. InDesign is the tool for creating professional page layouts. If you want to combine text and images and design beautiful pages with precision, this is the tool to use. It’s great for brochures, posters, flyers, magazines and more. In publishing, designers and production teams use it every day because it lets them work quickly, and once you’ve got the basics, it’s easy to use. Mastering InDesign is a valuable skill for print designers, and essential if you want to work in publishing or print design.
Adobe InDesign Intermediate: build on your existing InDesign skills
9.7/10 from 932 reviews
Once you have mastered the foundation skills on the Introduction course, this course helps you build on them. If you are already creating multi-page documents in InDesign, this is the place to jump in. You will learn to use InDesign’s powerful tools to create sophisticated documents in different formats that are reusable and easy to share.
Adobe InDesign Advanced: become an expert in InDesign
9.7/10 from 222 reviews
This course takes you on a deep dive into Adobe InDesign. It is packed with techniques and tips to improve your productivity and help you work more efficiently. If you use InDesign every day, or intend to, it will improve your workflow and help you get things done more quickly. It’s also ideal if you produce data-driven documents in InDesign.
Interactive Adobe InDesign: create interactive documents using InDesign
Some projects need interactive eBooks, magazines and digital PDFs. If yours does, this is the course for you. Interactive content needs to be planned and structured properly, and this course shows you how. You will learn how to build navigation, create interactive forms with data fields, and add animations, video, audio and other multimedia elements. None of this is rocket science, but you do need to know how to plan and structure your InDesign documents properly.
Questions people ask
Do I need to do all four courses?
If you want to become a real expert in InDesign, you will probably want to take the Introduction, Intermediate and Advanced courses, but you can do them at your own pace. There’s no rush. If you don’t need to produce interactive documents (and most people don’t), you don’t need the Interactive InDesign course.
What should I learn after mastering InDesign?
Once you are comfortable with InDesign, you will probably want to learn Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. All three programs are designed to work closely together, and most designers use all three.
