The VWS Training Scheme...

WHO NEEDS TRAINING?

Market Background

To my knowledge at present there is very little professional training available throughout Europe which specialises in vinyl application. I have been informed that there is a City and Guilds course in the London, which offers a qualification, but I have yet to find more details.

At present I am only aware of one vinyl manufacturer that offers a training scheme as such. Anyone wishing to take advantage of their product warrantee must employ the services of an approved applicator as is the case with Vehicle Wrapping.

Training Program

Vinyl application is without doubt a skilled process; vehicle wrapping is very highly skilled.

In terms of training, I would consider a minimum of three months "on the job" as the most effective method for someone starting from scratch.

This investment may cause unacceptable delays with the introduction of this product however it is paramount that controls are maintained if we are to offer an application warrantee.

Vehicle Wrapping will issue a Certificate of Competence to candidates that complete a specific training schedule and a written exam to a required standard. They will have existing experience with general vinyl applications including wrapping and will have under taken previous training.

Training is essential and compulsory to comply with our warrantee requirements.

As part of our core activities Vehicle Wrapping will provide onsite trainig at our premises in Cirencester, giving expert tuition and guidance on all aspects of the business.
