This is a highly practical course, which will teach you cost-effective ways of producing your own moulding from scratch. You'll gain the knowledge you need to produce quality parts and learn how to avoid common errors.

In this foundation level course we'll introduce you to the terminology, the materials, their properties & the production processes used in the composites industry.

This course is highly recommended for individuals and teams who are already producing prepreg parts and want to improve their processes and the quality of their finished products.

If you need to focus on improving the strength and stiffness elements of your composite designs this course will give you a knowledge of composite properties and an understanding of how each of the plies effect the global part.

Future legislation will dictate that you can't just discard composite components into landfill and the need to repair in order to extend life expectancy is set to increase even further. Repair of composites can be more complex than the repair of more traditional metallic components and, of course, there is always the need to regain structural integrity whilst maintaining functionality.

This course provides an introduction to how businesses can start thinking differently about their operation, products and production processes in order to meet new legislation and support the drive for change.

This course will give you an understanding of the requirements that are important to consider in the composites world, along with a series of tools and techniques that will enable you to create robust concept designs for every new project you undertake.

If you're a Technician who's new to composites manufacture using resin infusion this course will provide you with the skills and knowledge to avoid common mistakes and safely produce better parts.

Use of the correct joints is vital to creating highly functional composite structures. We highly recommend this course for composite designers who want to improve their approach to bonding and joining composite materials ensuring better results.

As an Engineer who is currently responsible for measuring and inspecting metalics and are now moving into the world of composites, this course will give you the tools and techniques you need to ensure that you understand the different challenges composites present and the techniques the require.

We work with organisations large and small to take a fresh look at training. Our engineering specialists, academic partners and industrial insights, make us your ideal training partner. Each of our courses has been developed by a specialist and is delivered to you by an experienced practitioner. To offer you a wider range of options, we have introduced a new online training platform for some of our courses.
