The British Coatings Federation (BCF) has teamed up with the Vincentz Network, publishers of European Coatings Journal, to open a major new training initiative for the coatings industry.
The Coatings Training Institute is a new training scheme for the global Coatings Industry and its supply chain. The new website, www.thecoatingsinstitute.com went live on 1 November after significant investment in a new state of the art training portal.
The institute is an update on the original BCF training modules, and is the ideal distance learning tool for anyone who needs to know more about coatings technology.
This means not just people directly involved in coatings formulation and manufacture, but also people right across the supply chain, including suppliers to the industry and users of coatings products.
More than 60 modules are offered at four levels of difficulty. Students can pick and choose the modules that best meet their needs. The wide range of modules extend from paint and ink application, manufacture and evaluation of paints, ink technology and formulation to pigments and other raw materials.
Students can self-study in their own time with the highest flexibility and have excellent support and direct contact with qualified BCF tutors, making it much more than basic on line study.
Successful completion of six modules will result in achieving the International Certificate in Coatings Technology, which will be a great career accelerator for individuals in the coatings world.
