Operator Training Courses  for  PixelPower  Collage

Majortech has provided valued professional training for Collage operators
in facilities throughout North America.
This training is customized for the way that Collage is applied to the graphics production
 of your particular facility. In addition, we specifically address
the skill levels of the group of operators to be trained.

Please note that, even though our courses are conducted in English
(as native to PixelPower Collage), we do address relevant linguistic-specific topics,
such as accessing (from the keyboard and/or via text import)
non-English accented or special characters.

The following form provides us with some preliminary information
that assists in the design of a course for your needs,
and allows us to provide a reasonable quote.
