Print Professional - Training in Printing
Intensive Training in Germany
Print Professional takes a hands-on approach to explaining innovative applications and new technologies - both in the classroom and in a pressroom environment. The knowledge you already have is added to while taking your individual situation into account: the best way to get up to speed!
Seize opportunities to secure your future success
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 sound knowledge of the processes and practical workings of Prepress, Press and Postpress, in addition to commercial and business skills. To meet these needs, the Print Media Academy is offering Print Professional, a unique training program that conveys the latest practical knowledge on printing processes and modern technologies.

Theory and practice
Print Professional pays equal attention to providing a solid theoretical base and hands-on practical experience. What is learned in the classroom is put into practice in the pressroom: course participants get to roll up their sleeves and perform the actual tasks involved in producing real print jobs. They experience all processes first-hand, from designing a print product and carrying out print preparations to printing and postpress finishing. Attendees are directly familiarized with various printing techniques and special applications, such as inline coating in theory and practice. They also learn about the hardware and software used in today´s printing industry. Field trips to printing companies and binderies, and also, of course, to the factory of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG in Wiesloch and the Print Media Academy in Heidelberg, round out the program by providing first-hand, eyewitness impressions of how the print media industry really works.
Schedule by booking a three month course
Training Program
Custom-tailored
Print Professional supplements the knowledge and skills taught by basic training programs and specialized Heidelberg courses. The content of each course is flexibly tailored to the participants' level of expertise and personal training goals. At the end of their training, all attendees will receive a certificate which documents their participation in this unique program. Because the number of participants in each group is limited to 15, the teachers can address their particular needs and wishes. On request, individual courses can also be arranged. The course offerings are available in English and German.
During their stay in Germany, course participants also get to experience the country and its people: entertainment and cultural events round out the technical training.
Teachers
Five experienced teachers including master printers represent different disciplines and subjects. Prominent experts also make guest appearances.

Target Group:
Employees in printing companies, suppliers, teachers and next generation in business (beginners should only book 12 weeks or 6 month courses).
Duration and dates
Print Professional can vary in intensity. Depending on the amount of time available to participants, course programs can be put together lasting four weeks, 12 weeks course or six month. What all three versions have in common is their emphasis on practice-oriented, hands-on teaching. Of course, longer courses provide a greater range of actual practice experience: participants in the three- and six-month programs are firmly integrated in the production routines of the training printshop. The dates are arranged in consultation with the course participants.
Course fee
Starting at 1.227 Euro per week plus value added tax including all meals during the courses (Monday - Saturday morning), accommodation in apartments of the school HBZ, transfers and excursions (by booking a 12 weeks course). Excluding flights and personal expenses. If you are looking for another accommodation we will be happy to support you.
Venue
Münster, Germany. The Print Media Academy holds the program there in cooperation with the HBZ, a training institution run by the local chamber of manual trades. The HBZ is a certified PMA training partner and has been collaborating with Heidelberg for over 20 years.
