IMF: INSTITUTE OF MATERIALS FINBISHING
WE ARE AT SURFACE WORLD LIVE 2020
The IMF at Surface World Live 2020
This year the Institute of
Materials Finishing (IMF)
will be hosting a Stand at
Surface World Live 2020.
Our aim this year is to invite visitors onto our
stand in order to provide information on
education, training and experts will be on
hand to help you with any Finishing
problems.
Study modules which lead to an award are:
Foundation Certificate, Technician
Certificate, Advanced Technician Certificate.
By becoming a member of the Institute,
professional qualifications such as AssocIMF,
Tech IMF, LIMF and FIMF can be, in today’s
environment, an asset whereby you will be
recognised as a true professional.
The Institute also has branches in Ireland, the
North and the South of England.
Branches hold regular technical meetings
and seminars on varying topics which will
enable you to keep up to date with all
aspects of modern finishing.
A new addition to the Institute over the last
year has been the introduction of Webinars;
these are usually held on a Tuesday and last
for about 35 – 45 minutes.
