MTC Training to launch first fully
online certificate

Developing disruptive technology experts to drive innovation in industry

MTC Training is launching its first fully online certificate in Additive Manufacturing, designed and endorsed in partnership with world-leading experts from the National Centre of Additive Manufacturing (NCAM). The certificate aims to support industry to get to grips with this exciting new technology.

The Foundation Certificate in Additive Manufacturing is a comprehensive introduction to the fastest growing disruptive technology that is primed to revolutionise the global manufacturing industry.

Delivered wholly online through a combination of self-guided online learning, collaborative activities and a virtual classroom, the endorsed course gives delegates an understanding and appreciation of the processes, benefits and design possibilities of each of the seven additive manufacturing technologies. It also equips decision makers with the essential tools and techniques to help businesses to successfully and safely adopt Additive Manufacturing and begin taking advantage of its transformative potential.

The new certificate is the first in a range of innovative products that MTC Training is developing to continue supporting the manufacturing sector to develop future skills and to drive technical awareness and progression throughout industry, wherever their workforce is located.

David Hughes MBE, Managing Director, Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre, said: “This new certificate is the first step on a journey to become an Additive Manufacturing expert. Because the course is delivered wholly online, delegates can learn in their own time from any location with internet access – this flexible access to personal development is even more important given the ongoing restrictions associated with COVID-19.”

Over a total of 12 hours, the modules cover topics such as ‘A Guide for Decision Makers (Parts 1 & 2)’, ‘Best Practice in Process Selection’, and ‘Developing the Business Case for Adoption’.

MTC Training is offering the new certificate with an introductory price of £249 plus VAT available until 11th September. To find out more and to secure your place as one of the first to take part, go to https://the-amtc.co.uk/training/courses/foundation-certificate-in-additive-manufacturing/

MTC Training’s unique insight into the very latest technologies, techniques and processes delivers an extensive training offer at the cutting edge of industrial innovation, from apprenticeships right up to senior management level.

As part of the MTC, NCAM aims to accelerate the uptake of additive manufacturing by developing the technology and systems required to address the key challenges within the associated value chain. With anticipated global sales of £20bn by 2025, this rapidly growing technology enables economic component production with efficient use of materials and vastly increased design freedom, compared to traditional subtractive processes. Improving education and awareness is a key element of NCAM’s mission to support industry’s effective exploitation of additive manufacturing, by bridging the gap between market requirements and process reality.
