EDUCATION PROGRAMME

Picture
​​The Make it Happen Education Programme brings together corporations, companies and individuals to learn, discuss and share knowledge and ideas to benefit their businesses.

​The programme is designed to support those that are new into the industry as well as established clients and companies. We work with the contacts we have made over the years to provide help and guidance. The one day programme includes demonstrations of techniques and materials that would otherwise take months to pull together. The benefits of the programme include a more educated and enthused work force able to identify and explore more lucrative opportunities.

​
​Our product sources are varied and range from the basics of simple flat cut and built up letters right through to more complicated solar lit totems and signs. We research and discuss new materials, as well as providing hints and tips gained from years of experience to get the best signage and illumination possible.

The programme includes simple do’s and don’ts, the effects of different types of materials and illumination, panel splits, the importance of laying out artwork and how font can alter costs - in some case dramatically. We discuss concepts such as feature illumination and provide general guides and introductions to the many possibilities and opportunities open to a sign company.
The CPD accredited Education Programme is held at our training facility at SignFab (UK) Ltd in Leicester. The course is suitable for estimators, project managers, sales, marketing, designers and production staff of all levels.

“I found the course incredibly informative, lively and enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone, regardless of experience. Even with 20 years in the sign industry, I learned a lot about new products and techniques. Often there is a temptation to rely on the same products over and over again, but this course really helps to increase awareness and inspire creativity. Many thanks to Sam and team, their passion and knowledge is evident and appreciated.”  Neil Mason - Masson Seeley Signs

"I attended Sam’s Education programme after having sent two of my team on it previously. Even though I’ve been in the industry a few years there's always things to learn and new processes or ways of thinking to hear about. I’d recommend the program to anyone in our industry, either to gain  further insights if you’re new to the trade or refresh the knowledge you already have."
  David Allen - Director of Allen Signs

"I just wanted to take some time to thank you all for a great experience on the course but also the simplicity of getting booked in and the process overall. The content was great and i wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the course to anyone (i have already) and eagerly await the ‘advanced’ course for whenever that may be. I learned a lot and more so by comparing the way signage is manufactured in Glasgow with a “That’ll be fine” or “It’s always been done like that” attitude. Hopefully, we pick up so work which allows us to use your consultancy service as I’m sure this all helps towards development." David McCaroll - Cre-8-ive

"It was a pleasure to meet everyone. My thanks again to the Mrs. Sam Armstrong and the entire team. Please be assured of our support for the passion to continue to raise the bar of knowledge for our industry." 
Theo John-Phillips - MD/CEO Goldfire Nigeria

“Sam – you were awesome! You are an inspiration not only to this industry but to women in business generally. Your passion and knowledge shone through, I was never bored and I thought you using people’s names through out the course was a great way of keeping it personal.” Vicky Waller -  Signs Express

​"I thoroughly enjoyed the Education programme run by Sam from Make It Happen. Being a relative newcomer to the industry, but having gained some knowledge through experience, it was invaluable in giving a better insight into what’s available, and what’s involved in the making of so many aspects of our industry. Sam’s extensive knowledge shines through, along with her ability to impart that knowledge to others. I also enjoyed the factory tour by our first class hosts, Smith Sign & Display. A fantastic mix of traditional and new, and exciting times ahead by all accounts. Strongly recommend the programme, and thanks to all involved."   David Park - Vision Sign & Digital Ltd.
 
"Signbox recognises the importance of keeping abreast of the latest production methods, technologies and innovative materials available. Also as an Investor in People company, training courses such as the one “Make it Happen” can offer are vital.
Our team at Signbox found the course both stimulating and informative, a must for anyone in the industry no matter their longevity in the business - there is always something to learn".
