Vinyl Application Training Courses
A few years back I attended a 2 day vehicle wrap course with Rob in Trafford Park (I passed with flying colours – highest grades he’s ever issued I reckon), at the time there were a number of ‘standard’ sign making and vinyl application courses also available for those new to the industry. I have been trying to find a few practical courses like these for a new employee of ours however all of the courses I see online are specifically for wrapping and vehicles.
Do any of you know of suitable courses that might help. Looking for vinyl specific, walls/windows etc ideally.

“A few years back” – My dad & I did the training on Trafford Park too in April 2013 😂
Antalis does (or at least did) some training, but you have a good point I don’t know of any beginner, basic training courses – What kind of things are you looking to train them up to do?

🤣 was a good course! Best bit was the tray of sandwiches they ordered in for lunch, there was only 3 of us, had a tray each!
I’m literally looking for a course to show the real basics to be honest. I’m showing him myself but it’s a bit like teaching someone to drive, I have my quirks and because I’m confident and experienced with vinyl probably skip a few steps here and there or use different methods without even thinking and im pretty sure thats confusing him tbh.
He probably need to learn how to drive properly before I teach him how to 80mph on the motorway whilst eating a McDonalds…
Will check out antalis though, they might have something.

I’m the same with computers, I can do most things on them, but I’m a s**t teacher, I don’t have the patience😂 I think even with a training course under their belt, it’s going to take a while to get confident and find their feet.

There was a guy at the sign digital show at the NEC doing live demos on all sorts of vinyl application, from the bare bones basics to wrapping, I found it quite handy as I learnt a few little tips off him.
Don’t know if he does training as well but he’s certainly a good communicator and puts things across in a manner that even I can grasp.

Thanks Gordon, this is the kind of thing I had in mind, have seen demos at SignUk before now and found them to be really helpful.

That was Paul Hughes, not actually sure if this is his website, but might be worth a call:
