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.

EXAMPLE
COSTING FOR A
STENCIL MAKING COURSE
A training programme for the following personnel, in the
UK would cost £1620.00 plus travel.
2 stencil technicians
= 1 day theory (group) + 0.5 day practical per technician, one to one.
(1 day total).
1 supervisor = 1 day theory (group).
