    Hi Tony,

    KPMF Direct do a course, I think that cost us £400ish with lunch and an overnight stay included.

    We did the KPMF course a few months ago and haven’t looked back since.
    Had a few good deals from them since then also.
    Can’t comment on the other courses around as haven’t been on them.

    paul, im sure the kpmf course was great mate, but having heard stuff and seen some piccies it never inspired confidence for me. not for what these courses cost anyway. having said that, i dont know fitting conditions etc that the other courses offer. 😕 their price seems reasonable i admit but is it not you have to have 2 folk at a time, for two days? i say this for all courses not just theirs.

    Yeah, after 2 days out of the office we had a lot to catch up on Rob.
    Had we have been on one of the courses offered by others I might be saying exactly the same about them.
    Seen a post by Rebecca recently about an Avery course in Holland.
    Having lived there for a few years, speaking the lingo, and knowing what I could get up to while I’m there, might see if I can sneak away from the wife for a couple of days (who is 7 months pregnant at the moment and is eating the strangest of things).

    Yes darling, it was a really worthwhile trip. We learned a lot.

    Hi all

    Been off site for a while, trying to sort out business premises move.

    The avery course in Holland actually worked out cheaper even with flights & accomodation than courses in the Uk, arranged through A&P Display in Northampton.

    John,

    Decide on who you will buy the printed wrap from and find out what material the offer you. Needless to say i am sure they will not stock all the media’s available.

    Pick the course based on the materials you will use ie VWS – Kpmf, EZ apply – Avery, Graficast – Grafityp etc

    Pros and Cons for each media and so you will find a spread amongst printers of the materials they use.
