I work for a print shop and I do pretty much all the design, typesetting, pre-press, etc. I'm the only person here who does this.
A client of ours which we do quite a bit of printing for has several people on staff who "design" their own things for the most part. Problem is, none of them are very good and we tend to get MS Publisher files or other junk from them. The few that do use InDesign haven't done it long or are trying to learn as they go and they really don't know what they are doing.
One lady that I was helping this past week asked me if I or anybody I know teaches InDesign classes. I told her that I've freelanced on the side a few times going to somebody's house one one one to help them out with what they are doing but I've never taught a class. She asked if I was willing to teach a class of 3-4 people with varying levels of knowledge of InDesign. I told her I could probably do that but I've never done anything like that before and it's always been one on one. I told her for the one one one stuff I would always charge $40/hour to go to the persons house using their equipment. I currently do not own any of this software myself as it's a work only thing so I don't need it at home.
I told her I don't have any sort of cirriculum since it's always been one on one. I told her that I obviously don't know everything about InDesign as I only use it for what I do with it so there's plenty I don't know. But this sounds like it's a pretty basic thing and I could easily show them the basics and how to set up files suitible for printing, etc.
My question is, should I get some sort of cirriculum somewhere somehow and is $40/hour too cheap then to teach a small "class"?
Thoughts? Ideas?
