Print qualifications

Print is believed to be the UK’s fifth largest manufacturing industry and provides work for almost 150,000 employees. It is widely believed that printing originated in China, firstly printing onto textiles and later onto paper.

The past 20 years has seen enormous changes with the introduction of digital technology impacting on the wide range of print production processes in use and contributing to the changes in the range of jobs the print industry now has to offer.

Working with Proskills and industry experts, GQA developed the current range of qualifications available to the Print industry, offering the full range of qualifications available, at Levels 2, 3 and 4.
