So...you've been on the Introductory course and now it's time to develop your skills. Or maybe you've had no formal training but have been using QuarkXPress for a while and feel there are things you're missing out on.

Either way, this could well be the course you're looking for. This Intermediate QuarkXPress course consists entirely of “hands-on” practical work using a series of exercises designed to help you learn QuarkXPress to a more in-depth level. Time will also be made available to discuss and work through particular difficulties encountered by students in their own work using QuarkXPress.

Ideally, students should have attended the QuarkXPress Introductory training course and have had plenty of hands-on practice using the software before attending this course.
