DENVER, CO – To help designers and production teams get the most from QuarkXPress®, Quark is offering a series of six free online Masterclass training sessions that will highlight best practices, special key commands and other QuarkXPress tips and tricks. Each Masterclass session will be 30 minutes long and presented by a QuarkXPress expert. Attendees can join the classes live during the broadcasts or access the video recordings later on demand.

Everyone who takes part in all six live sessions or watches all the sessions on demand will receive a personal QuarkXPress Masterclass certification and the QuarkXPress Masterclass logo that can be used on personal Websites and LinkedIn pages as a way to officially promote their QuarkXPress skills. Attendees of all six live or on demand sessions will also have the chance to win an iPad in the final Masterclass drawing in November.
