Note on the use of Adobe Creative Cloud in training

In this course, you will learn how to use Adobe Creative Cloud software by means of many practical exercises. In order to participate, you must have Adobe Creative Cloud software installed on your computer. Unfortunately, Adobe does not offer the possibility for us to provide you with a license. Therefore, it is necessary that you have your own license of Adobe Creative Cloud software.

 

If you don't have your own license, you can easily purchase one on the Adobe website. There are various subscriptions for the Adobe Creative Cloud, which can be canceled annually or monthly. Adobe also offers a 14-day trial period during which you can cancel your subscription free of charge. If you use this option, you will not incur any costs.

 

Installing the software involves downloading a large data package. We therefore recommend carrying out the installation before training . If you encounter IT guidelines during installation on a company computer, please contact your system administrator. If there is no other option, we recommend that you use a private computer for the exercises instead.

 

Please also note that Adobe Creative Cloud takes up a lot of space on your screen. If you are attending the course with a laptop, it is therefore helpful to also connect an external monitor.

Your benefit
  • Mastering the basic functions of InDesign
  • Independent creation of documents such as business cards, advertisements or flyers
  • Independent adaptation of existing documents and templates such as brochures
  • Gain a basic understanding of printing technology
  • Create PDF documents
