Is this right for your team

Is this built for your team?

This course is ideal for many organisations, but may not be the best fit for every situation. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Ideal for teams who:
  • Want to improve the clarity, structure and usability of business documents
  • Are looking for a private, tailored training experience
  • Need relevant, Indonesia-based corporate training delivery
  • Value practical templates, design methods and immediately usable techniques
Another course may be better if:
  • You are looking for a public, open-enrolment design course
  • You need specialist graphic-design software certification rather than document-design capability
  • Your team primarily needs basic computer or word-processing instruction
  • You are primarily looking for document-production outsourcing rather than training
