The courses, which are taking place in Edinburgh, Bristol and London, are targeted at teaching designers how to create "eye-catching artwork" using MetalFX software and inks.

The sessions, which will be run by MetalFX creative and technical representatives, will feature tailored content to suit each delegate and business represented.

Delegates will also be awarded a MetalFX Certificate of Accreditation following competition of the one-day course.

Jim Walker, business manager of MetalFX, said: "In today's economic climate, it is imperative that design agencies maintain their competitive edge and offer superior products and services."

Walker said he anticipated the course would help attendees "maximize the design process" and add more impact to each job.
