This is the course that starts your journey into the world of aerospace/aviation advanced composites.

It can be intimidating with all the technical terms, design considerations and specialized skills. Through this course, you will gain a firm foundation of theory and skills required to work with aerospace/aviation composites.

During this 5 day hands-on course you will:​

​

Theoretical 

• Learn what composites are and their applications​

• Learn the basics of advanced composites fiber reinforcements​

• Learn the basics of composite matrix systems​

• Learn the basics of core materials​

• Learn how to use solvents​

• Learn the importance of shop and process cleanliness​

• Learn basic vacuum bagging​

• Learn to "layup" advanced composite laminates​

• Learn the basics of laminate and sandwich panel repair

• Learn composite safety​

Practical Hands-on​ Project

• Create a sandwich panel project that locks in foundational knowledge learned during course using carbon fiber, kevlar, fiberglass, foam core and epoxy

• Create a simple vacuum bag system to complete the cure of your project.

• Perform a simple repair to the sandwich panel project 

Upon Completion will have​

• A beginners understanding of the theory behind advanced composite structures design and construction

• Acquired an entry level, hands-on, skill set to work with advanced composites

• Have the required understanding and skills to move to the next step and further courses

• Learned through an open and fun learning environment

• Certificate of completion​​

Basic safety equipment will be supplied such as: dust mask, safety glasses, disposable gloves. Must bring disposable painters coveralls/apron (chemical resistant).
