Do I need a Printer to take the training, what about tools?
You need one of the printer models covered as
there will be hands on labs in the training

also require for the maintenance kit and
tear down portion. Tools may be different
from printer model to printer model. Each
training module will specify the tools
needed, however, the most common tools are:

What if I don't have a printer--can I take the
training anyway?
You can take the training without a printer but we strongly recommend taking the training with one of the models covered. The presentations have labs that students step through, including menus and teardown. If you absolutely can’t get a printer, taking the training without one is better than not doing the training at all.

General Training Questions
How long does the training take?
This length of each class varies from course to course. Click here to see the current list of courses that we offer, along with their running times.
Back to top
How does the test work?
A test is also offered along with the training. Students must have a 85% or better passing grade to receive a certificate of successful completion.
Back to top
What if I don't pass the test?
After completing the test, your scores will be emailed to you. If your score is less than 85%, a second test--which is different than the first--will also be emailed to you. If you receive less than a 85% score on the second test, you will be emailed a third test, which is different than the previous two tests. If you do not score 85% or higher on this test, you will not receive a certificate of successful completion for the course.
