Vastex University

Entry level, intermediate and advanced classes

FAST-STARTTM Entry Level Classes Entry level screen printing classes are typically the most important, because they create the foundation upon which to build your business and start earning money. However, there are significant differences between the quality of entry level programs offered today — differences that first-time screen printing students may not realize. You should therefore proceed with caution, and evaluate entry level training programs according to three important attributes shown below. You should also look ahead, because even the best one-day entry level screen printing class is an introduction to screen printing. Once you are in the field, building your business quickly and competing successfully may likely require intermediate and advanced classes in art preparation, printing techniques, and marketing — all of which are offered through Vastex University.

PRO-SCREENERTM Intermediate and Advanced Classes As a world-leading manufacturer of heavy duty equipment for screen printing professionals since 1960, Vastex is focused on providing the very finest available in machinery — and in training. Regardless of your expertise, the master screen printers teaching Vastex courses can hone your skills, introduce new techniques, and keep you current with the ever expanding, ever-trendy business of consumer wearables and imprinted hard goods. The PRO-SCREENERTM curriculum ranges from three-day, all-encompassing courses covering art, printing and marketing aspects of your business, to a wide range of intensive one-day classes devoted to specialized techniques from gels and foil to water based and discharge, to customized five-day training sessions at any worldwide location.

 

The qualifications of the instructors teaching the classes Vastex classes are taught by a dream team of industry-leading experts in the field of screen printing, NOT by Vastex personnel. This is your assurance that your instructor will always be the best available to teach any specialized subject, and that your instructor does not push any brand of equipment. Indeed, owners of any brand of screen printing equipment are welcome to take Vastex classes. Unlike some classes that are little more than captive sales pitches for equipment and supplies, Vastex classes are bonafide educational courses focusing purely on individual screen printing subjects. Vastex provides the locations and the equipment for hands-on training, and the network that puts you in front of the best independent screen printing instructors in the business.

The range of entry level, intermediate and advanced classes offered Whether you are a beginner or an experienced professional, outperforming your competition hinges on improving your quality, reducing your costs, and keeping your repeat customers while attracting new ones. Vastex helps you achieve these goals by offering a wide selection of quality classes — enabling you to improve any specific area of your business, or to improve it overall. Choose from entry level art and printing classes and three-day intermediate courses (covering all aspects including marketing), to a diversity of advanced one-day courses on special effects to five-day custom training sessions at your location — the wide selection it takes to provide exactly what you need today — and will need tomorrow.

The reputation of the company offering the classes Vastex is a world-leading manufacturer of equipment for screen printing professionals since 1960, and has incorporated proven features and patented innovations from its professional line into its entry level line. The reputation of Vastex in over 50 countries among leading professional screen printers — who truly know the business — is your assurance that Vastex has a unique ability to assist beginning screen printers as well as experienced professionals — in achieving increasingly higher levels of technical expertise and profitability.

 

Seriously, it's fun While improving your skill is serious business, at Vastex it's also a lot of fun. Classes are a stress-free mix of classroom learning and hands-on practice on the production floor, so you can start profiting from what you have learned the day to return to your shop. And because you will have much in common with fellow students, you will learn from one another's experiences in other parts of the country, and the world, as you make valuable relationships and network your business.
