    The NCC is bringing its world-leading capabilities in composites to the Northern Ireland Advanced Composites and Engineering Centre (NIACE), with a particular focus on working with SMEs and upskilling workforces to support the economic growth of the regional composite industry.
  • Read more about Composite Joining Principles

    Composite Joining Principles

    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.
  • Read more about Introduction to Design for Composites

    Introduction to Design for Composites

    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.
  • Read more about Introduction to Composite Repair

    Introduction to Composite Repair

    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.
