This QuarkXpress training course is designed for new users of Quark and covers the basics of producing documents and mastering Quark’s toolset.
The Quark Training course is practical in nature. Led by an expert, delegates undertake a series of step-by-step exercises so that their skills are honed at a comfortable pace.
We generally conduct our QuarkXpress training in London but can come to your offices if this is more convenient. By the end of the Quark training you will have mastered the basics of Quark and be ready to create your own newsletters, books and magazines.
