Testimonials

Ingleton Wood LLP

"Brilliant. Covered loads that I was not aware of which will certainly save me time. I liked knowing mor about the master pages and how you can drag and drop. Setting up favourite tables will also come in handy. Not sure that I will need the data merge but still good to know. The bullet points is always my downfall, they just won't work for me, so will be good to see a short video on how these work."

Howard Group

"Brilliant. Simon was energetic and detailed on the subject and functionality of the system, without making it confusing or dull. I highly recommend Computer Tutoring and would definitely use them again."

Unity Campus

"A great training session learning the basics of InDesign. Simon is very friendly and engaging which made the day's training fun and enjoyable. Simon quickly established our reasons for the training course so that he could focus the course to meet our requirements. I am now a confident beginner with InDesign and already designing/producing invitations and posters. I would highly recommend Simon and the team at Computer Tutoring Limited."

University of Cambridge

Excellent. Gave me enough basic understanding to start creating using InDesign which was what I wanted. Trainer was most patient and supportive.
