I don't think there is any Crash Coarse available for what you need. And what you need is training and experience which takes time.

Cheers!!!:)

There isn't a crash course on dies, I've been doing it for 25 years and could still learn a few things. Good luck anyway.

Thanks for the replies. I actually got the job I posted this for about 2 and 1/2 years ago and I am doing well at it.Thanks again

Congratulations on getting the job, sorry I couldn't be of more help.
