Essential Composite Skills Level 2
This workshop is the opportunity to build on your knowledge and skills gained from the ‘Starting with Composites’ course. Alternatively, you may already have some basic composites knowledge and skills or already be working with composites. The aim of this course is to refine your skills in either wet lay-up or Resin Infusion.
On successful completion of the workshop, you will have a more detailed understanding of the wet lay up and Resin Infusion processes. You will be able to compare the two processes as well as be able to identify some common faults.
There will also be the opportunity for a hands-on activity preparing composite moulds for either Resin Infusion or wet lay-up. You will help in the selection of the correct resins, fibres and materials to make a composite component and then assist in starting a Resin Infusion process.
On successful completion of this course there will be the opportunity to progress to a choice of short courses that focus in more depth on a specific process.
All courses have progression routes to our funded Level 2 and Level 3 short courses, or ultimately the Level 3 Composites Technician apprenticeship.

"I will really miss my college days and from the beginning the tutor, Al, has been so supportive. From someone who has not completed anything academic in over 20 years, this course was a step in the right direction for me. I have learnt so much from the group of people, different organisations, but mostly from Al who has a wealth of HR knowledge. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Al and she will always go out of her way to support and guide you in the right direction".
