INSTITUTE OF MATERIALS FINISHING

Update information on the Institute of Materials Finishing

Have you looked at the IMF website lately ? ( www . materials-finshing . org )
Do you want to learn more about Surface Finishing ?
Do you want to gain ‘ CPD ’ accreditation ?
Then why not look at the Surface Finishing courses that the IMF have to offer .
Over 15 months ago the Institute of Materials Finishing took a close look at its position with regards as to what it could offer more to help people in this industry and see what improvements could be made .
The Materials & Marketing committee decided that to help course work , it was decided to offer webinars on subjects that students were taking to give them the opportunity to listen and get a better understanding of the topic .
These webinars are all available to members for viewing on the website if they have not been able to attend the ‘ live ’ webinar .
We have updated our webinars whereby students will receive a certificate to say that they have attended
This year we have decided to offer a ‘ revision ’ course for those taking the examinations and this has also been well received .
Uptake for our new refreshed course has been encouraging and continues to grow so if you are interested in learning more about surface finishing then why not visit our website , take a look around and contact us .
We look forward to seeing you .
