The Electric Sign Design Training Course (ESDTC)
Twelve or Six Class Sessions
Designers are introduced to the planning and design process that electric sign design requires.

It's that mentor-experience where you have the freedom to speak your mind and ask the questions that may be difficult to ask because it seems like it should be common knowledge by now.
The most common ROI for designers has been their increased confidence to defend their designs with the fabricators.
