Did you know the printing industry is one of the largest manufacturing industries in Australia and, according to the AISC, it's responsible for employing almost 27,000 people!
If you're looking to get involved in the printing industry, the Certificate III in Printing gives you the skills and knowledge to become a print machinist. Print machinists are responsible for setting up and operating printing machinery to produce books, magazines, newspapers, brochures, posters, leaflets, packaging materials, and stationery.
If it involves ink on paper, there's a good chance a print machinist was responsible for its production.
This qualification applies to those who set up and operate letterpress, lithographic, flexographic, gravure printing presses, digital printers or screen printers and work on a range of printed products. You'll learn the many processes and techniques for ensuring a quality printed end result for the best possible output.
