The IFRA Research and Material Testing Centre have taken a new initiative to offer onsite training programs to IFRA members. The main aim of the training programs is to provide the IFRA members with quality learning experience at a very affordable price. The advantage of having an onsite training program is that the publishing house need not spend huge money on transport and accommodation of the participants. Moreover, they can have a number of participants from both press and pre-press, who can attend the training program as a team and benefit.
Approach:
Incase of physical training, the training program will be a good mix of classroom training, practical demonstrations and hands-on training for the participants.
Incase of webinar or online tutorial , it will be via zoom that covers ISO 12647-3 standards, color management, implementation process, ICQC contest definition and changes , GPQ evaluation methods, Q& A etc.
