Re: Konica Minolta Outward Diploma Colour

I was kidding but its true i want to know how can i get this? signing for the course and taking course is not a big deal. Passing exam and practical test which can be several days long is a complicated task. what do you advice emujo?

Re: Konica Minolta Outward Diploma Colour

There are several Outward tracks, each is subdivide into associate, professional, expert, master. You can choose learn tracks in networking, color, production ect..to achieve the master cert, you must complete the lower levels and some master tracks require parts of other learn tracks to complete. Most are pretty easy, some are very difficult if you haven't been exposed to the material (production print was difficult for me). You will not obtain a Master cert "in a few days". If you are a KM employee, just assign yourself to the course via the learning place. I do not know if these courses are offered to dealers. Emujo

Re: Konica Minolta Outward Diploma Colour

You said, Production print was difficult for you. It was Expert Production printing or Master production printing? and what happened next? Did you go to Japan?

Re: Konica Minolta Outward Diploma Colour

Not a production tech...Getting your Outward Master does not result in a trip to Japan...Emujo

Re: Konica Minolta Outward Diploma Colour

Most outward tracks are about 15 or 20 courses(roughly). The associate level is required to even go to any classes. Some classes require certain pre-reqs to attend training. You may want to go to training in Japan, but it aint going to happen unless you are a KM direct employee that's higher up the chain. Most of the time it's only the training instructors that get to go.

Office Equipment B&W, Color, networking and solutions. If you want to go to japan, apply for a job over there. Emujo

Re: Konica Minolta Outward Diploma Colour

Please do not be angry Emujo! I am asking just for sake of my knowledge. God knows better i will go to Japan or not. If i will be given this opportunity i will go. You guys are expert with experience of so many years. I want to learn from you if i can find anything useful.Any thread, any solution any reply, any word can be helpful if someone wants to learn something. So, I would like to thanks Mr Emujo and CompyTec for replying and explaining.

Re: Konica Minolta Outward Diploma Colour

I don't what Japan has to do with the outward learn track. I just know you sign up for the web based training and then take some test. I finished it a long time ago and don't remember a whole lot of details.

If you want to make it easy then you can download the pdf for the course and run it through searchable OCR so you can search the PDF for each question you're not sure about. If you can pass it doing that then you should find another career.

Yes, but first you have to achieve sales target.
When you pass Outward associate you get access to infohub knowledge center (manuals, firmare, reports...).

You can't achieve this in matter of days and that's only first step. Trip to Japan? I don't know about that, maybe that's on the end of the roadmap.

Re: Konica Minolta Outward Diploma Colour

As far as i remember some of them are self-approved which means you can start them at any given time/study them/get tested etc online.
Some require an instuctor/mentor to approve them for you which then follow the same principle.
But for the master level im pretty sure you need to have a trip somewhere to get tested.If thats Japan or somewhere else i dont know,haven't got that far..YET!
