Adobe InDesign is a widely used tool software for professional layout, editorial production, print and digital publishing. A pillar of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite alongside Illustrator and Photoshop, it is used daily by layout designers, art directors, editors, communication officers, marketing teams and design studios to produce brochures, magazines, books, annual reports, catalogues, sales materials, internal communication, EPUB digital books and interactive PDFs. Its ability to manage long documents with master pages, styles, table of contents and index makes it the essential editorial tool.
In French-speaking Switzerland, publishing houses, communication agencies, internal marketing departments of private banks, international organisations, cantonal administrations, university hospitals and design studios use InDesign to produce their printed and digital materials. ITTA offers the official Adobe InDesign catalogue covering all levels (introduction, intermediate, expert) and Digital Publishing specialisation. Our training is delivered by layout designers and Adobe Certified Instructor trainers active in production projects for Swiss and international clients.
Following a recognised Adobe InDesign training opens access to highly demanded roles: layout designer, editorial graphic designer, art director, DTP editorial secretary, communication officer, print designer, publishing manager, prepress operator, EPUB designer. InDesign systematically figures among the skills expected in editorial production and printed communication in French-speaking Switzerland, alongside Illustrator and Photoshop.
Whether you are a layout beginner, a communication officer producing in-house, a layout designer ramping up to advanced features, a prepress operator industrialising your chain, or a designer delivering EPUB and interactive PDF, our Adobe InDesign training in Geneva and Lausanne covers the full path, from introduction to expert tools and techniques.
Introduction to Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat DC is the ideal transversal course for profiles discovering the Adobe Creative Cloud suite. The programme positions each software in its specific use: InDesign for layout and editing, Illustrator for vector and logo, Photoshop for photo retouching and bitmap, Acrobat for PDF and distribution. Very suited to communication officers, marketing assistants and profiles transitioning to editorial design.
Adobe InDesign CC Fundamentals is the natural entry for starting with InDesign. The programme covers the interface and workspaces, document creation, text and image frames, basic typography, layers, colour and swatches management, simple master pages, text import and threading, placement of Photoshop and Illustrator images, saving and exporting PDF for print and web. It is the indispensable foundation before aiming for intermediate and advanced levels.
Adobe InDesign CC Intermediate deepens advanced features: paragraph and character styles, object styles, nested styles, advanced master pages (multiple parents, inheritance), fine management of long documents (book, table of contents, index), tables, footnotes, prepress colour management (CMYK, spot colours), object libraries, and file preparation for printing. Targets layout designers producing long and structured documents.
Adobe InDesign CC Advanced covers expert tools and techniques: GREP automation, JavaScript scripts, data merge for mailing and catalogues, XML and structured data import, Creative Cloud library management, layout scripting, Photoshop and Illustrator asset integration, advanced prepress control, professional packaging and good practices for industrialising editorial production.
Adobe InDesign CC Digital Publishing PDF and EPUB is the digital specialisation. The programme covers interactive PDF creation (bookmarks, hyperlinks, buttons, forms, multimedia), fixed and reflowable EPUB export for e-readers, tablets and smartphones, semantic structure management (tags, reading order, accessibility), image and file size optimisation. Targets editors and designers publishing in digital.
Adobe InDesign fits into a broader visual creation ecosystem. The graphic design and DTP sub-domain regroups our InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat training. Adobe Illustrator is the natural complement for vector drawing and logos integrated into your layouts. Adobe Photoshop is widely used for photo retouching and preparing images placed in InDesign. The visual presentation sub-domain covers PowerPoint and Canva for quick materials. Adobe regroups the entire Adobe catalogue.
Adobe InDesign continues to evolve in 2026 with strong attention on digital publishing, accessibility and generative AI. Adobe Firefly is progressively integrating into InDesign to generate contextual text and visual elements. PDF/UA and EPUB accessibility becomes a central issue, particularly for public administrations and organisations subject to regulatory obligations. Creative Cloud libraries unify brand identities between InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. Share for Review facilitates back-and-forth with clients and reviewers without switching files. Our pedagogical content regularly integrates these evolutions to remain aligned with current practices.
All our Adobe InDesign courses are available on-site in our Geneva and Lausanne centres, as well as in interactive virtual classroom with an Adobe Certified Instructor live. Our sessions are organised in 5-week cycles. Each session includes hands-on labs on latest InDesign CC, editorial production exercises inspired by real projects (brochure, magazine, annual report, EPUB, interactive PDF), sample files to manipulate and individualised follow-up. Customised corporate training is also possible at your premises, in Geneva, Lausanne, Vaud and across French-speaking Switzerland, with a programme adapted to your production types (brand identity, financial reports, marketing materials, digital books).
