Thanks for finding us. We are the choice of the professionals when it comes to InDesign training, Photoshop training, Illustrator training and QuarkXpress training for the Mac or PC.
We like to think that we're a little different than other software training companies.
Admittedly, if you come to us you'll find yourself sitting behind a computer just like any other training company. However, as far as we're concerned that's where any similarity ends. We don't do boring. We don't do dull. What we do is offer you an experience that you will not forget.
That's why our delegates get to use state-of-the-art computers. That's why all of our trainers are born communicators who love the software they train. That's why our lunches are not in need of a Gordon Ramsey makeover. And that's why we ensure that our courses will cost you less than any of our rivals. These are hard times and you need to get as much as you can for your money.
But don't take our word for it, click on the banner below and see what our clients have to say about us.
Just so that you know, our offices are situated in North London, one tube stop away from Kings Cross. We will also journey to your own offices to train you on-site, if this is what you prefer. We believe that we offer the best training available in the UK. Feel free to call or email us for a quote. We also offer substantial discounts for bulk bookings.
Thanks very much for visiting our site. Please take the time to have a look at the InDesign training, Quark training, Photoshop training and Illustrator training courses that we offer.

What our clients say about us
“An intimate training venue, which offers friendly and comprehensive training. Courses steer away from the repetitive, non-relevant, text-book driven drivel you find all too often. Instead, you are encouraged to discover the software by using your own real life examples, progressing at a pace suitable to you, with expert tuition to ensure the basics are not missed.
A great course and thoroughly recommended.
PS. The lunch is pretty damn good, too”.
James Bompas
Thurrock Council
"Just a quick line to say thank you to Europa Training. I took the 2 day InDesign intro course and I have to say it is good value for money. The fact that we were just 4 people taking the course made the class very personal. It was interesting with a good rapport between us and the trainer. By the way, lunch is great in a local nice restaurant!"

"I have to write and thank for the excellent training I received on your QuarkXpress course this week. Having started as a complete beginner I was amazed that the day following the course I was able to put together two pieces of work in Quark – a real achievement for me as I have never used any kind of publishing software before.
The trainer was extremely knowledgeable and patient and we felt free to ask questions at any time. I now look forward to using my new skills which, to be honest, have already
enhanced the services I can offer to clients."

"I found Europa Training through Google and wonder why I didn't look for them years ago! I did the QuarkXpress Intro 2-day course and learned a huge amount which I put in practice the very next day.
Going forward I'm sure to make big savings on designer fees, while maintaining tighter creative control. All in all, a very worthwhile experience."
Ian Nash
The Corus Group
"Without the course I would certainly have struggled with my new job - after learning Quark I felt confident even on my first day."
Claire Forbes

"The course was amazing, the trainer knew the programme inside out, and changed my whole mindset around the way in which I approach illustrations. Prior to attending the course the standard jobs I created took a whole day. I can now produce the same imagery within an hour. Would definitely recommend Europa Training to anyone, who is starting out or wants to brush up their skills"
Simon Bryant
Director, Capstone International
"I was a little apprehensive before doing the course but I was quickly put at ease with the very friendly and relaxed atmosphere at Europa.
"The first course I did was an Introduction to Illustrator, which was so helpful and enjoyable, that the fact I had to travel down from Manchester didn’t stop me from booking 3 more courses, covering Quark, Photoshop and In Design, which were all superb.

"This course was just what I was looking for. The trainer was so approachable; no question was too big or small, and he kept us smiling from start to finish! I am excited to get back to the office and put my newly gained skills into practice. Lunch was yummy, too."
Wendy Smith
The Anna Freud Centre
"The training is fantastic! I went from a beginner to a know-it-all in two days. I can do things now that would have taken me ages to learn myself, and I learnt it all at an easy fun pace."
Ashleigh Harper
Paragon Management
"This course was excellent, the pace made it easy to follow, the tutor was very engaging and friendly, giving great examples for visual explanations to help us to understand what we were being asked to do. I would recommend this course to all beginners or people who need a refresher. You come out with much more knowledge than you expected and with confidence to do it in the real world! Loved it!”
Alicia Fontaine
CCS Group
"I went in to the training course with no knowledge at all and came out with the skills and materials to look instantly professional.
The small size of the training group allowed me to ask more questions and ensured I was never left behind. Using my own organisation's examples, rather than made-up training exercises, also meant that by the end of the training I had corporate pdfs I could use straightaway. Excellent."
Andrew Cox

"Thanks for such a great course over the last couple of days. I definitely think it will make a big difference to the speed and quality of my work!

"All I can say is thank you, the course really did help me, and with greater understanding of the program it seems so much less daunting and much more fun!"
Tara Croissant,

Brilliant course! I had used Photoshop only a couple of times before enrolling on the Europa course and I completed the course having the understanding and ability to do a huge variety of great techniques. I really enjoyed the interactive learning environment.

What you will find at Europa
Patience
Europa Training brings a unique approach to the often daunting business of learning computer software. It goes without saying that all of our trainers are experts in their fields with decades of hands-on experience in publishing. But what we offer in contrast to other software training companies is a combination of skill, creativity and, above all, patience. This helps to make your learning experience worthwhile, productive and fun.
Step-by-step exercises
We believe that the best way to learn software is to use software. When you take a course at Europa Training you are given the use of your own PC or Mac and taken through a series of step-by-step exercises. These carefully designed exercises lead you through the basics up to advanced techniques of using the software. By the time you leave Europa Training you will feel confident that you can use the software at home or in the all-important work environment.
Projectors
Yes, that’s right. Projectors. Believe it or not many training companies do not even provide projectors for their courses. At Europa Training you will not find trainers scurrying from computer to computer as they try in vain to assist their bewildered trainees. We give you the whole picture.

What you will NOT find at Europa
Delegates crammed into a room like sardines
If you have ever attended a software training course in the past you may have been disappointed to find yourself sitting in a room overflowing with more than a dozen trainees. This doesn’t happen here.
Dozens of delegates
We allow a maximum of only five delegates – so that you won’t worry about looking foolish if you ask a question and you won’t find your learning experience impeded by delegates who lack your level of competence.
World-weary trainers too bored to do their jobs properly
There is one prime pre-requisite for all our trainers: it is obligatory that they LOVE the software. In our opinion, the only way to really know software is to love software. For this reason, you will not find trainers who balk at a tricky question. We invite your input and derive pleasure from helping you to understand every aspect of the software that you have decided to learn.
Sub-standard food
We take our food seriously. Delegates eat at a top-notch eatery with a menu to suit all tastes. We want you to enjoy your lunch as much as we want you to enjoy your training. And we’ve had no complaints so far.
