production workflow
“All of my operators who had training on site at Konica Minolta have found the training to be very valuable, productive and a worthwhile experience. We gained greater knowledge on how to run and maintain our machines to their optimum level. The trainer, who was very welcoming, passed on his knowledge to our team which has been beneficial for all involved, I could not recommend any more highly training with Konica Minolta.” G I Solutions Leicester
customer maintenance support
“The training given by Konica Minolta to our staff was excellent and enabled them to use the equipment to its full potential in a very short length of time. The training was planned to meet our needs so we could schedule work durring installation of the equipment, which mean’t there was no loss of production. The Trainers had a high degree of knowledge on the equipment, they were also available to come in at a later stage and go over anything that the staff had not fully grasped.”
Alan Shepherd WNC.AC.
professional colour
“We were made very welcome on our visit to KM. The training was detailed and thorough, but also made extremely easy to understand by the trainer. We solved every issue we had faced to date ,as well learning a variety of new skills which will aid us moving forward. The quality of our work has improved ten-fold already, to learn the full spectrum of the colour controls was especially useful as this will keep our work consistent and clients happy.”

follow up visit
How do you know your training has worked? Our training evaluation and follow up service allows you to review this so that you can measure your return on investment. Our Training Account Managers visit you eight to twelve weeks after the original training, discussing student feedback received, and how the student performed on the course. Together we will explore if the training has met your initial needs, and if there are any gaps needed to be re addressed. We will then actively agree on what additional training is required to guarantee results.
“Konica Minolta’s on going comprehensive print room training has given Derby City Councils print room staff a complete understanding of how the printers work, along with a thorough knowledge of how this ties in with the Fiery controller. This training has given the staff confidence to change areas such production workflows, which has led to quicker turn-around times and improved quality.”
