EXAMPLE OF A STENCIL MAKING TRAINING COURSE
 Depending on the equipment
in the department and the complexity of the type of images the
theoretical seminars would range between half and one and a half
days in duration. The seminars can host up to 6 delegates. The
topics will be covered in various depths depending on the delegates’ requirements.
Throughout the training the learners will take short tests to ensure that they have fully understood the topic.
