I have used Indesign in the past (CS version, having used PageMaker before that) but moving up to CS5 felt I needed a refresher. This is a good course and the advantage of having the DVD is obvious - you can go back anytime to any section. Total Training are better than some of the online offerings and the sections are clear and well presented. I find this type of video training much better than a book.
The lessons switch between Windows and Mac and the alternative commands for each system are clearly noted. All the lesson files are provided on the DVD. A worthwhile investment and of course it would be saleable if you felt you had progressed beyond what it has to offer. I rate four stars rather than five because these things are never perfect, but it is well worth having.
