Following the staging earlier this month of a new introductory course in print estimating and planning, Printing Industries is now offering an advanced module in NSW during November.
The three-day module will run over 11 and 25 November and conclude on 2 December.
Printing Industries National Manager, Learning and Development, Ian Walz, said positive feedback from the introductory course indicated many companies were interested in upskilling their estimating staff.
“Skilled estimators are an asset to the business because they are able to save the money on materials calculation, maximise press efficiencies, better manage imposition and handle complex working estimates,” he said.
“While there is a financial and time cost, this is more than compensated for with the expertise and efficiency trained estimating staff can bring to a business.
“They also play an important role in identifying true production cost. This is important in helping companies to assess their overall business performance and gauge the real value of their client base and profit levels.”
Mr Walz said the course was not restricted to estimators since it had significant benefits for owner mangers, sales staff, costing and accounts people, print production co-ordinators, print buyers and graphic designers.
