Thanks for the insight John. Seems that AGI classes are quite expensive in my taste. Are there any resources that have adobe class training for less or free? Does Adobe offer anything?
Keep the articles coming. Love reading about prepress. Thanks!

Apart from Adobe's own online training, in Queensland (Australia) we are very lucky that a Free Public Library card gives us online access to all the Linda.com training.

Cory,
Luckily there are a ton of free adobe classes online. Adobe has tutorials that are free for Indesign, Photoshop and all its other products. Sites such as Indesignsecrets.com have experts sharing their knowledge on using the software in a production environment. Youtube is a great place to search as well as a simple Google search for free FILL IN THE BLANK online training. After visiting a few sites, you can determine if the information fits your skill level.
