What is the difference between the Adobe Creative Cloud DTP course and separate Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign courses?

The Adobe Creative Cloud DTP course covers Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign in combination, whereas separate courses explore a single program in depth. You learn how the programs connect within a workflow that runs from design to publication. Image editing is done in Photoshop, vector illustrations and logos in Illustrator, and the final layout of flyers, advertisements, brochures and interactive PDFs in InDesign. Separate courses often go into greater depth on one program, but leave the interaction between them out of consideration. Choose Creative Cloud DTP if you want to be able to carry out the entire DTP process independently. Choose a separate course if you only want to master one specific program. Basic knowledge of Adobe software is a requirement for taking part in this combined training course.

Will I be able to deliver a complete brochure or flyer print-ready on my own after this course?

Yes, that is the explicit end level of the Adobe Creative Cloud DTP course. You work through the entire process from design to publication: image editing in Photoshop, vector illustrations in Illustrator and the final layout in InDesign. You also learn the correct PDF export settings for professional print work, working with master pages and applying paragraph, character and nested styles. Afterwards you will be able to build a flyer, advertisement or brochure, cut out images, set text wrap and deliver a print-ready PDF. For digital publications you also learn to design interactive newsletters, fillable forms and lightweight presentations. One condition does apply: you need basic knowledge of Adobe software. Without that basis, the course is too short to reach production level.
