The Fiery Professional Certification

[tpmar]

My tech recently mentioned the availability of this certification course to me. I'm the operator of a Ricoh ProC9100 using Fiery Command Workstation 6. It costs $250, which I'm pretty sure my boss wouldn't mind paying, but if they do, I really have to pass it. I'd like to see more details about specifically what sort of information is covered and also the volume of information. Anybody else ever take this? So far I haven't be able to find much in the way of specifics. Thanks. Here is the link: https://learning.efi.com/fiery_professional_certification

I did it a while back, it´s cute in it´s own way as long as you don´t underestimatte the questions and you do get a PDF of a fancy certificate.

At this point in my time working with the Fiery and running the Ricoh, there is a LOT of stuff in there that I'm not all that familiar with. I've only been on this machine since December of last year and I started with Command Workstation 6, so I don't know anything about 5.8. It would be great to learn all that stuff. One of these days I'll ask my boss if the company will pay the $250. I sure hope they give me some good, easy to understand study materials!

For $250 you get a contact and a business card of someone who knows fiery inside and out. To get that same knowledge would require talking to 3 people and a bunch of escalations.

Beyond just the training I think that is worth it.

Nice! Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. In the process of training a second operator right now but when that's done this is definitely something I'm going to pursue. Thanks again and HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
