The Print Media Academy (PMA) of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG
(Heidelberg) offers two international practical trainings, which
will be conducted in Germany: Print Professional and Print
Experience take a hands-on approach to explain innovative
applications and new technologies - both in the classroom and in a
pressroom environment.
Globalization is opening up many new opportunities for
printing companies. But in order to seize them, printers have to
continually invest in their own skills. Print shop employees - as
well as teachers and those working for printing industry suppliers
- require excellent knowledge of the processes and practical
workings of Prepress, Press and Postpress, in addition to
commercial and business skills. To meet these needs, the PMA is
offering Print Professional, a training program that conveys the
latest practical knowledge on printing processes and modern
technologies. And the brand-new program Print Experience, a
training program that provides participants with practical
knowledge in German printing companies.
Print Professional: New technologies and applications in the
focus
Print Professional pays equal attention to providing a
solid theoretical base and hands-on practical experience and
targets employees in print-shops and suppliers. What is learned in
the classroom is put into practice in the pressroom: Participants
experience all processes first-hand, from designing a print product
across print preparations and printing to finishing.
Attendees are directly familiarized with different printing
techniques, special applications, for instance inline coating and
today's industry software. Field trips to printing companies and
binderies and also to the factory of Heidelberg in
Wiesloch-Walldorf and to the PMA in Heidelberg round up the
program.
The content of each course is flexibly tailored to the
participants' level of expertise and personal training goals.
Since the number of participants is limited to 15, the teachers can
address particular needs and wishes. On request, individual courses
can also be arranged. The course offerings are available in English
and German. Five experienced teachers including master printers
represent different disciplines and subjects. Prominent experts
also make guest appearances.
Every training will take place in Münster, Germany.
Duration and dates:
4 weeks course: February 28 - March 25, 2011
3 month course: April 11 - July 1, 2011, September 12 -
December 2, 2011

Course fee:

Print Experience: Practical training in German print-shops
Participants from print-shops and suppliers will learn in
carefully selected German print shops how the production processes
will work in reality. They will have the chance to learn all
detailed processes starting with designing print products up to the
finishing. Afterwards the participants should be able to adapt the
knowledge to their own companies in their home countries. Field
trips to the factory of Heidelberg in Wiesloch-Walldorf and to the
PMA in Heidelberg will round up the program.
Duration and dates:
Print Experience includes a 4-week course in the format
of a hands-on training in a German printing company. In addition,
the participant has the opportunity after completing the course to
visit the Print Professional training in order to extend his
knowledge to a higher level. The duration of the Print Experience
program is flexible.
