Overview

The Adobe InDesign Certification (4-day) course is designed for professionals responsible for producing structured, publication-quality documents who want to prepare for Adobe Certified Professional (ACP) certification. Delivered live online or at our London training centre, this course combines comprehensive layout training with focused certification preparation.

The first three days develop complete InDesign workflows, covering document structure, styles, text and image management, colour control, and professional output for print and PDF. The fourth day is dedicated to exam preparation, reviewing certification objectives, practising task-based exercises, and developing the confidence and technique required to perform well in the assessment. This course is ideal for individuals or teams who want both practical capability and formal certification in professional page layout.

The Adobe Certified Professional (ACP) InDesign certification exam cost is included, with the exam booked independently by the learner when ready. This course prepares learners for the Adobe Certified Professional: Print & Digital Media Publication Using Adobe InDesign.

We had a wonderful teacher, adapting the course to our specific needs and questions and sharing his extensive knowledge in an engaging and accessible way. I am leaving with a much better idea of how to use the program and look forward to getting more practise in! Thank-you!

Working in a small group was very effective.
This was really helpful. I’ve used InDesign before but only to edit existing work.

Working in a small group was very effective. Trainer clearly loved the subject. Very good value – most important thing I gained today was confidence in the software.

Very impressive and would fully recommend to all.
So much information! But surprisingly as it was presented in such a fun way was much easier to remember than had first thought. Lots of tips as well and general information made it a very expansive learning experience.

Very impressive and would fully recommend to all. Very interested in taking it further. Well done.
