Hi colleagues,

I would like to learn DTP as it is on high demand.

Do you know if there is a way to learn it for free?

Thank you for your kind responses.

Best,
Natalia

Then, the main course, the official Adobe InDesign tutorials, they are quite thorough

And two more tutorial/course, the second one, for advanced users, costs $0.99.
