FAQ

Couldn’t find the answer to you question? These might help.

Where does the classroom training take place?

Our address is: 3 Laybourne House, Admirals Way, London, E14 9UH.

We are located only a couple of minutes’ walk from both the Canary Wharf (Jubilee Line) and the South Quay DLR Stations.

What time does the course start / finish?

The course starts at 10am and runs until 4pm with a lunch break and a couple of short coffee breaks throughout the day.

How big are the classes?

We usually have between 4-6 students per class. So it is a very small group, which means you get a lot of individual help and attention.

What's the booking procedure?

When you decide which course and dates you would like to attend, you simply fill the contact form on this page, or get in touch with us by using the chat button. Upon receiving your request, we will raise an invoice and send it to you for payment.

Once we receive the payment, your place on the course gets confirmed and you receive the joining instructions.

When do I need to make the payment?

Payment needs to be made at least 10 days prior to the first day of your course. Until we receive your payment, your place on the course is not confirmed and if the course gets fully booked, we might ask you to wait until the next available date.

How can I pay for my course?

You can pay for your training course via BACS (direct bank transfer), by using any credit or debit card including VISA, Mastercard or AMEX. You can also pay by using PayPal.

Do I need to bring anything with me?

We provide the workstations, notepads, light snacks, biscuits, coffee, tea and chocolate (lots of it!) during the course, so you don’t need to bring anything along.

Can I use my own laptop on the training?

If you feel more comfortable using your own computer, you certainly can. Just make sure you let us know ahead of the course, so we can prepare a workstation for you to connect your laptop.

Can I use my own files during the course?

If you are attending a public scheduled training course with other students, then you would be following a pre-determined outline. This is to ensure that everyone benefits from the training. However, if you would like to use your own files during the course (perhaps you are working on a project that you’d like to use as a case study), check out our Tailored Training page.

How does the online training work?

Overview: Instead of travelling to our London studios, you can join the course remotely as an online student. You will be joining a classroom training session which takes place at one of our training centres with real instructors and students without leaving your home or office. You will have the opportunity to interact with your instructors during the live sessions, ask questions, follow demonstrations, hear and see your fellow students just like you would if you were physically here. It’s exactly like being in a classroom, without the cost of travel and accommodation. Plus the cost of the online training is lower than the traditional classroom training courses.

The platform: Our online courses run either on Zoom or Teams. During the training hours, you need to be in front of your computer and follow your instructor’s monitor as the demonstrations take place. You will then practice what you’ve learned on your own computer. Along the way, you will be able to interact with your instructor, ask questions as well as take part in discussions during the training. If you get stuck, your instructor can take control of your mouse and show you the right way of completing a specific task.

Prerequisites: Almost all modern computers nowadays will have sufficient technology for the live training courses. However, to ensure you get the most out of your online training experience, there are a few things to keep in mind. In order to attend one of the InDesign courses as an online student, you need to have a decent broadband connection (a connection that’s good enough for a traditional HD video call will suffice). You will also need a pair of headphones or speakers as well as a microphone. Although not compulsory, you are advised to have a dual-monitor setup. Ideally, you would be following your instructor from one monitor and use the other monitor to practice the tools you are taught. As an alternative, you can use a single monitor and switch between the online session and your software. You will need to have either the full version of the software you are learning or we can send you a link to download a free trial for a limited period.

Can I postpone my booking to another date?

Yes – as long as you give us 10 days’ notice, you can postpone your course to another date without any charges. For full details on cancelation and postponing, please refer to our T&Cs.
