Printing SA’s Latest Industry Updates Include Printing Courses And More

Printing SA has announced the latest industry developments, including: new staff members, technical theoretical modules, printing courses, team leader programme and colour management e-learning.

Technical theoretical modules

Printing SA offers technical theoretical (TT) modules in all pre-press, printing, packaging and finishing trades. Apprentices indentured in the existing Competency Based Modular Training (CBMT) trade programmes; who are enrolled in Printing SA’s TT Modules, will benefit from receiving tuition based on its newly redesigned and developed learning material.

Printing SA has also introduced an FP&M SETA approved continuous assessment model whereby learners are assessed on every module to ensure total comprehension before moving on to the next level. The results that Printing SA are achieving in the final examinations bears testimony to the fact that this strategy is working.

The FP&M SETA have approved Printing SA’s brand new dual TT module system which Printing SA believes will facilitate the integration of practical training and workplace experience with other TT modules. Click here to find out more about these modules and to register.
