Since LSP’s inception, our publishing courses have attracted thousands of course delegates, some of whom are sent by their employers for training. However, a large number of delegates approach us independently of employer sponsorship, in order to gain new or additional skills and usually to enter or to develop publishing careers. In addition to the open courses, we also offer in-house tailor-made courses for corporate groups.

Our courses  run three times a year, starting in: February (winter term), May (summer) and October (Autumn term). Most run over ten weeks in the evening — 6.30pm – 8.30pm, once a week, on a particular designated evening. The ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING courses (QUARK XPRESS, IN DESIGN, PHOTOSHOP, PAGEMAKER, ILLUSTRATOR, HTML, DREAMWEAVER, FLASH, FRONT PAGE & WRITING FOR THE WEB are run during the daytime for a duration of two to three days.

LSP is recognised and respected as a well established and highly competent training organisation in the area of publishing skills. We combine traditional and technology-based skills in a unique way, making our courses relevant, easily applied and transferable.
