Training is conducted in YOUR shop, using YOUR software, and YOUR equipment, while working on YOUR projects.

We evaluate your software, equipment, workflow, and current knowledge level, then recommend the best expert trainer and put together a personalized training agenda based on your exact requirements. Tell us a little about your training needs and we will provide a custom quote.

Not only is this the perfect learning environment but you don’t lose productivity by sending employees offsite.

Example Topics

Vehicle Wrap Training. Learn how to design, print, and then install the wrap.
Routing Design and Output. Learn how to design from EnRoute, prepare the CNC file, and output to your router.
Traffic Signage. Great for government sign shops that must print accurate street sign colors. From design to print to application.
Flexi training. A focus on learning flexi for one person to the entire shop.
Flexi for Versaworks, Rasterlink, Vertelith & more. We can spend the time making sure your shop is set up properly to use Flexi with any RIP and printer.
Most importantly…YOUR TOPIC & GOALS! Customize your on-site learning specifically for your shop!

Our Adendo Advisors are well qualified to teach so much more than just Flexi or EnRoute. We will match your shop with an advisor who has years of experience with your equipment as well as your software.
