Holmesglen Institute reintroduces offsite apprenticeships

Backed by association FPLMA, this is a major move in the Australian printing industry. Offsite apprenticeships were abandoned with the demise in 2012 of the Institute’s then major educational center. The new nationally recognized courses will cater for apprentices in offset, digital, flexo, screen and gravure printing.

The new print certificate course was motivated by the Australian Printing Industries Association and encompasses all aspects of print process including sheet-fed and web offset, narrow and wide web flexo.

The new initiative will be headed by the previous principal of the Melbourne print school, Robert Black at the Holmesdale facility in suburban Melbourne. The facility is fully equipped foR digital print Using a Konica Minolta digital color press with EFI Fiery rip.
