Training time!

[motormount]

Hi!

We upgraded from Printready 3.5 Signa3.5 and Meta 6.50 to Prepress Manager 10,Signa 10 and separated Meta-shooter(It was same thing on the previus configuration)

How much training would you consider apropriate to get acustomed to the new environment?

I know it depends on the operator also,but i'd like to know how much time would you consider enough for an above average user to work confidently and productively.

Any-i mean any-kind of info/opinion is very much needed and apriciated!

Thanks in advance!

Are you talking about "training" as in "sit down and figure this out, you've got XX hours!"? Or are you talking about dedicated professional training?

Dedicated professional training.

[mattbeals]

Three to five days.

Thank you very much Matt.

It really depends on the person and howbmuch of a tinkerer they are and how much the software has changed. If they are fairly proficient then three days doesn't sound bad. Complete training should be about 5 days. Then there are specialized courses which can be a day or two. How much time are they suggesting or you are considering? If there is a local or regional that would be preferable obviously. I had to fly from Seattle to Woburn, MA for my week of PS/M training years ago. It was closer than Israel .

It really depends on the person

I totally agree.

I'm just wondering how many hours are an accepted average and if there is some official-Heidelberg- info on this,but judging from what i've seen 3 days sounds enough!

Thanks again!

Happy to help. Let us know how much time you end up with.

[motormount]

Sorry for the late answer,had my hands full.

I ended up with less than eight hours-prinect,signa and shooter while i was preparing some real jobs as well...

We don't use some features-versioning,layers,packaging so we skipped that.

Working on real/live jobs is a great way to learn. Hopefully it was enough time to get what you needed.
