HP is launching a new Graphic Solutions Service (GSS) learning academy, which it says is dedicated to accelerating digital transformation of the Asia Pacific and Japan commercial print industries.

HP says its GSS will provide an effective learning experience for more than 1000 customers, production managers, engineers and operators from across the region – including Australia – over the next 12 months.

The curriculum of 50 courses includes on-site hands-on-training, self-paced modular eLearning, instructor-led webinars and online assessment tools.

Participants in the Academy will have the opportunity to attend general training courses that create a deeper awareness about the enormous potential of digital printing and how it can empower businesses to do more, as well as product training courses such as HP Indigo operator level 1, level 2 and colour management.
