Ryonet has been offering screen printing classes for over five years. During that time we have successfully trained hundreds of happy students in our knowledge and fun filled environment. Screen printing classes are the highlight of our month at Ryonet. It's a chance for us to get to meet our customers and show you how fun and profitable screen printing can be.
Ryan,
I just got home and am back in beautiful Fort Lauderdale! I wanted to take a minute to say THANK YOU for the great training I received this past weekend at the Screen Printing Academy. I traveled to Vancouver specifically to learn from “The Masters” …and I was certainly not disappointed! You and the entire staff there at Ryonet made this one awesome weekend. I learned so much, and it was presented in a way that even newbies like myself could easily understand it. In a way, I’m sorry it went by so quickly. My brain is on overload right now, still trying to absorb everything that was presented to us. I’m excited, apprehensive, nervous, and I must say a little scared…but I can’t wait to get back home and start working on putting everything together and getting my doors open for business.

I find that the students invigorate me and renew my passion for an industry I have been a part of for over 20 years. It goes to show you that we all can learn from each other regardless of being a student or instructor.”

“I look forward to the classes as a great way to meet our customers face to face! I get a great sense of accomplishment by passing on techniques and tips that sometimes cannot be conveyed over the phone or e-mail channels. Nothing can replace real-time training and the interaction between the instructors and the students!”
