  Do I need any certificate or specific course to be a machine printer?

    Although it’s not essential, a qualification in reprographics, printing or the likes would help.

      Of course a course would be useful, but on paper there are no qualifications needed, so you can start as an apprentice.

        That’s great, I don’t have a certificate of any kind in the field, though I’ve done some digital design and have an idea of visual issues and also of some aspects to do with printing.

  I'm interested in machine printing. What courses do I need?

    None needed, but, you're often expected to have GCSEs (A* to C) in English, maths, science and IT.

      I was told you'd want to have a qualification in digital design, printing or the likes. Is that not so?

        Well, the more you have the easier for you to get the job. Sometimes an apprenticeship is a good start. I'd investigate.
