Because of the low demand for training, this course is no longer scheduled, but can still be run either in our Guildford Training Centre or on your own premises as a tailored course.

Course reference notes, unlimited telephone support, and, for courses held in our Training Centre, lunch and refreshments are included.

This Corel Ventura training course is designed for new users of Corel Ventura with little or no previous experience of desktop publishing. Starting from first principles, delegates will be led through the procedures for creating new documents and modifying existing ones. At the end of the course, delegates will be able to use Corel Ventura to create a range of simple documents including short design-intensive documents such as leaflets and newsletters, as well as single chapter books and brochures.

The use of the drawing tools, which allow the creation of complex vector-based artwork is covered on the third day of the course, which is optional.
