Beginner Courses Advanced Courses

1 and 2 day courses aimed at the new user who needs to get an overview of the most commonly used DTP and graphics software as they relate to the production of large format print.

These easy-to-follow courses are delivered in a sympathetic manner that will ease the new user into working unassisted with the software of choice. The training provides a solid platform from which the user can confidently work on the continued development of their skills in the future.

These courses are designed to get the new user productively using the software of choice, without wasting time and money in learning through costly mistakes, and lost production.

Courses aimed at experienced users wishing to make use of advanced and new software features to increase creativity and productivity. Previous experience is necessary on these courses.

Often users will work using skillsets learnt on older and less sophisticated software versions, and are often unaware of the upgrades and developments that will allow them to produce more work in significantly less time.

It is all too easy for business owners to allow their prepress and production staff to work in this ‘make do’ manner. By application of the correct training for already skilled users, productivity can be increased dramatically for minimal cost.
