Advanced Composite Structures: Fabrication & Damage Repair-Phase 1 (M-1/R-1)

Our most popular class, “Phase 1” is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of personnel; from the novice to the seasoned professional. This course is a prerequisite to subsequent repair courses and is highly recommended to anyone seeking a better understanding of advanced composite materials, processes, layup and vacuum bagging techniques, repair considerations, adhesive bonding, tooling, and inspection methods and techniques.

Reno, NV: Sept 10-14, Oct 8-12, Oct 29-Nov 2, Dec 3-7

Plainview, NY: August 20-24, Oct 22-26

Advanced Composite Structures: Damage Repair-Phase 2 (R-2)

This course is designed for repair technicians, mechanics, leads or supervisors who want to further their education in repairs of advanced composite structures. This class presents more challenging damage assessment and repair challenges than those presented in our Phase 2 course with emphasis on hot bond repair equipment, methods, and techniques.

Reno, NV: Aug 13-17, Oct 15-19, Nov 5-9

Plainview, NY: Oct 29-Nov 2

Advanced Composite Structures: Damage Repair-Phase 3 (R-3)

The course is mostly hands-on, in the workshop, addressing larger and more complex repair scenarios that require multi-step repair processes. Instruction will include discussions on various methods for recreating damaged-part surfaces, as well as actual fabrication of composite repair tools used to restore a complex-contoured shape, thus restoring the critical aerodynamic surface of the part. Other alternative approaches to tooling will be discussed and/or employed during the class to broaden the technician’s overall possibilities.

Reno, NV: Nov 12-16

Plainview, NY: Nov 5-9

Repair of Aluminum Bonded Structures (R-4)

This course is designed for repair designers, technicians, mechanics, leads, supervisors, or inspectors who want to further their education in repairs of bonded aluminum structures. This hands-on course provides a solid foundation in the principles of adhesively bonded repairs for aluminum structures, including face sheet bonding and repairs to aluminum skins and honeycomb sandwich structures.

Reno, NV: Oct 1-5, Dec 17-21

Plainview, NY: Coming in 2019
