About this course

InDesign 2025 Essential Training is the latest edition of LinkedIn Learning's long-running InDesign series, taught by David Blatner — one of the most recognized names in InDesign education. It covers the full practical workflow: navigating the workspace, managing multi-page documents, working with text frames and graphics, and exporting finished layouts for print or interactive use.

Because the course is versioned annually (2020 through 2025 editions all exist), it stays current with InDesign's interface and feature changes — a meaningful advantage over static, one-time-recorded courses that drift out of date as Adobe updates the software. It's part of a broader InDesign Professional Certificate path on LinkedIn Learning for learners wanting a full credential.
