Who should attend?
This Advanced QuarkXPress training course consists entirely of hands-on practical work using a series of exercises designed to develop the various skills. Time will be made available to discuss and work through particular difficulties encountered by students in their own work using QuarkXPress.

The course is scheduled according to demand and is available as either a classroom-based, instructor-led class or online in our live virtual classroom.
