Training needs analysis

If you have specific requirements regarding the training programme, we will carry out a training needs analysis for you. This will guide us on which aspects of the programme should receive greater emphasis, so that the training programme meets your specific needs.

What will you gain?

icon

Confident interface work - You will move through the CorelDRAW interface with confidence, set up views, guides and snapping, and organize your workspace so you can build projects faster and with less friction.

icon

Drawing from scratch - You will create basic objects, lines and precise shapes on your own, using the program tools and smart drawing features to build clean vector illustrations from the ground up.

icon

Full object control - You will master selecting, moving, scaling, rotating, grouping and duplicating elements, which will help you assemble more complex layouts without losing control of the page.

icon

Effective shape editing - You will learn how to edit objects with the Shape tool, convert them to curves, crop, cut and distort them, so you can tailor graphics precisely to the needs of each design.

icon

Purposeful color and text - You will apply fills and outlines, use the Eyedropper and Smart Fill, and format artistic, paragraph and path text correctly, so your designs look clear, readable and polished.

icon

Combining vectors and bitmaps - You will work with bitmaps inside a project, crop them and apply basic effects, allowing you to combine photos and vector graphics into one consistent visual composition.

icon

Effects, layers and structure - You will use interactive tools, Lens, Bevel and layers with the Object Manager to create visually stronger designs while keeping your file organized and easier to edit later.

icon

Print and export ready - You will prepare documents for printing and export them to different formats, so after the course you can save each project in the right form for print, sharing or further work.
