Apple Mac digital computer training

Together with leaders in the advertising and design arena, Staphcor has developed a revolutionary digital training programme, on the Apple Mac platform, ideally suited to those embarking upon a career in advertising, or to those already in the industry who would like to increase their skill levels.

Drawing on decades of collective experience, the trainers and facilitators at Staphcor offer their students individual attention on a one-to-one basis, using cutting-edge digital technology. Ensuring that the student is sufficiently advanced in technological skills and capable of producing quality work, Staphcor then assists in the preparation of a professional CV and portfolio and markets the candidate to their client base of over 600 ad agencies, studios, marketing shops and communications & PR firms.

Staphcor has been successfully operational in South Africa for five years, supplying leading firms with top calibre staff. Apart from training and recruitment, they also handle freelance positions for clients, and students can look forward to excellent exposure to a wide variety of clients and campaigns, both locally and overseas.

As the Apple Mac is the platform of choice for design and ad agencies worldwide, the emphasis on a sound grounding in the workings of the technology cannot be over-stressed. With the high costs of outsourcing repro to repro shops, today's employer marvels at the prospect of employing multi-skilled people equipped with the technological expertise to not only produce quality design and layout but also the ability to prepare their own work for print.

Staphcor is the only registered recruitment agency in South Africa that offers Apple Mac computer training for the advertising and design sector. The Digital Training Programme covers the following computer applications and skills:

• Adobe Photoshop
  
• Macromedia Freehand
  
• Quark X Press
  
• MAC OS (Operating System)
  
• Scanning
  
• Deep-etching
  
• Colour-retouching
  
• Repro / Printing Fundamentals
  
• Pre-Press Colour

What makes the Training Programme so unique is the fact that all training is done on an individual basis - no groups - no latecomers - no missing out on any imperative training information. The personalised training on a one-on-one basis makes the student the most important person in the room!

Although the above-mentioned applications & skills are offered as a package, individually based applications can be tailored to fit the student's needs.
