Adobe InDesign is one of the programmes included in the Adobe Creative Suite (CS) of applications, although it can also be purchased as a stand-alone application. Adobe Indesign CS is a Desktop Publishing programme, that can be used for creating typeset quality documents suitable for output to print or web-based media. The current version, as of May 2010, is Adobe InDesign CS5.
This Adobe InDesign CS course is aimed at new users who have little or no previous experience of desktop publishing and who wish to learn Adobe Indesign CS. Starting from first principles, delegates will be led through the procedures for creating new documents and modifying existing ones, and will consolidate their knowledge by means of a series of carefully constructed exercises at each stage.

The course may also be suitable for users of QuarkXPress or Adobe PageMaker wishing to transfer their skills to Adobe InDesign CS.
At the end of the course, delegates should feel confident and enthusiastic about using Adobe InDesign CS and will learn how to create a range of simple but well laid-out documents including short, design-intensive publications such as flyers, leaflets and newsletters, through to longer single chapter books, catalogues and brochures.
