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 oppor­tu­
nities for printing companies. But in order to seize
them, printers have to continually invest in their
own skills. Print shop employees – as well as teach-
ers and those working for printing industry sup-
pliers – 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 M
­ edia
Academy offers Print Professional, a unique train-
ing program that provides the latest practical
know-how on printing processes and modern
technologies.

if you
• want to give your employees a long-term,
practice-oriented training opportunity,
• will soon be taking over your parents’
print shop,
• want to invest in your own further education
and training, or
• are a teacher or trade association representative
wishing to bring your knowledge up to date,
then the Print Professional course offers you
a unique chance to gain the capabilities and
expertise you need to secure your future.
theory and practice
Print Professional pays equal attention to provid-
ing a solid theoretical base and hands-on practical
experience. What is learned in the classroom is
put into practice in the pressroom: Course partici-
pants 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 im­
pressions of how the graphic arts industry
really works.
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 receive a
certificate that 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.
where, when, etc.
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, three months or six
months. 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 practical 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.
venue: Muenster, 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.
teachers: Five experienced teachers including
master printers represent different disciplines and
subjects. Prominent experts also make guest
appearances.
