Professional Training

Who should attend

This QuarkXPress training course is one of our one-day Extensions to the Core Essentials Level QuarkXPress training course and is designed for those who need to create longer print documents, such as books or manuals, using QuarkXPress.
You'll need to have attended the QuarkXPress Core Essentials Level training course first, or at least be familiar with everything that's included in it before attending this, or any of the other Extension courses.
