Ingleton Wood Adobe InDesign Training Case Study

Overview

Computer Tutoring has worked with Ingleton Wood over several years, delivering practical Adobe InDesign training in Colchester, London and online.

As a property and construction consultancy producing professional reports, branded documents, presentations and client-facing materials, Ingleton Wood required staff to work confidently and consistently with Adobe InDesign templates across different divisions and departments.

Through a friendly, hands-on approach to training, Computer Tutoring helped staff build confidence using Adobe InDesign in real workplace scenarios, developing practical workflows that supported both day-to-day efficiency and professional document standards.

Over time, the relationship continued to grow, with further training delivered across additional software areas including Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Project.

About Ingleton Wood

Ingleton Wood is a multidisciplinary property and construction consultancy providing architecture, engineering, surveying, planning and sustainability services across the UK.

With multiple offices and specialist divisions across the UK, the company produces a wide range of branded reports, technical documents and professional client communications.

As Adobe InDesign became increasingly important within document workflows, there was a growing need to help teams use templates accurately, professionally and consistently across different departments and locations.

The Challenge

Many staff members were transitioning from applications such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Publisher into Adobe InDesign for the first time. While InDesign offered significantly greater flexibility for professional layout and document production, some users initially found the software unfamiliar and difficult to approach confidently.

Ingleton Wood also required:

• Greater consistency across branded templates
• Better understanding of document workflows
• Increased staff confidence using InDesign
• Training suitable for mixed experience levels
• Practical examples relevant to real working environments
• Flexible delivery across multiple office locations

Different divisions within the company also worked with their own branded template variations, including different layouts, colours and document styles, making consistency and workflow understanding particularly important.

The Solution

Computer Tutoring delivered a series of instructor-led Adobe InDesign training sessions held both in person and online. Sessions were adapted around Ingleton Wood's day-to-day workflows and document requirements.

Rather than relying on lecture-style delivery, the training focused heavily on:

• Hands-on exercises
• Real-world examples
• Interactive learning
• Practical document workflows
• Professional layout techniques
• Supportive question-and-answer sessions

Training covered topics including:

• Working with branded templates
• Parent/master pages
• Layout consistency
• Professional document presentation
• Image cropping and placement
• Efficient workflows and shortcuts
• Real-world document formatting techniques

The emphasis throughout was on helping delegates feel comfortable using Adobe InDesign in practical workplace situations rather than simply learning isolated software features.

The Results

Over several years, the relationship expanded across multiple sessions and office locations, helping delegates gain confidence and develop practical Adobe InDesign skills for everyday workplace use.

Feedback consistently highlighted:

• Increased confidence
• Friendly and approachable delivery
• Interactive teaching methods
• Practical workplace relevance
• Clear explanations
• Engaging sessions
• Supportive learning environment

As the relationship developed, training expanded beyond Adobe InDesign into additional software areas including Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Project, helping support wider staff development across the organisation.

Ongoing Training Support

One of the most rewarding aspects of working with Ingleton Wood has been building a long-term relationship based on trust, flexibility and ongoing support.

Over several years, Computer Tutoring has continued supporting teams with evolving software needs, changing workflows, multiple office locations and varying experience levels.

The relationship grew gradually through repeat bookings, approachable support, practical delivery and a shared focus on helping staff feel more confident using professional software tools in their daily work.

Today, the relationship reflects Computer Tutoring's wider approach to training: helping organisations build confidence, develop practical skills and support ongoing staff development rather than simply delivering one-off courses.

We are grateful to Ingleton Wood for allowing us to share their training experience as part of this client case study.
