Learning InDesign and Illustrator classes?

[MamaBee]

I would like to learn Adobe Indesign and Illustrator... anyone have recommendation of online classes that would teach this? I'm trying to get back into the workforce after 17 years of being home to homeschool my son... my background is in corporate technical training and I'm seeing that as a requirement for many of the jobs I'm looking at.

Thanks!

So, I know that Adobe offers free online tutorials for all their products. That might be a good place to start.

Adobe also has a series of books called “classroom in a book“ that are specifically designed to walk you through, step-by-step, learning their software. I have had a lot of luck with these across a variety of their products. Check Amazon, and at the very least, that will give you a good starting point. I hope this helps!

Highly recommend Bring Your Own Laptop! He has a paid site with all classes, but also some snippets are free on YouTube.

If you have/want Skillshare, I think some of his classes are there as well.

Oh - I haven't heard of the Bring Your Own Laptop... I'll check it out! I also wondered what was on skillshare - I get overwhelmed on which one is a good course when there are too many options, haha. Same with Coursera and Udemy sites.
