Corel Draw Introduction 2 Days
Course Overview
The classroom version of this Introductory CorelDraw training course is delivered over two days. The online version is delivered over four three-hour sessions spread over at least a week so you'll have plenty of time to practice what you learnt in between the sessions before consolidating and developing your skills in the next session. Over the two days/four sessions you will learn how to create and combine basic shapes in CorelDraw and discover how these shapes can be used to create attractive artwork and logos, as well as how to import clipart and other images from stock image libraries or other sources and edit them in CorelDraw.
