Qualifications for materials engineering: our continuing education concepts
22. April 2017
W.S. Werkstoff Service supports companies with a flexible modular continuing education programme, from individual seminars to comprehensive qualification programmes in materials testing, quality assurance and non-destructive testing.
Materials engineering is one of the key drivers of innovation in German industry. Materials are developed, processed and tested in numerous sectors, from metalworking and mechanical engineering to energy technology.
Staff qualifications play a crucial role. New materials, modern manufacturing processes and constantly evolving standards and regulations require ongoing continuing education to ensure that skilled professionals keep pace with the state of the art.
Our expertise and key topics
W.S. Werkstoff Service GmbH specialises in materials engineering services. In addition to certified continuing education programmes, our services include accredited inspections and materials testing.
We therefore see ourselves not just as a training centre, but as an active part of the industry for which we train people. This close connection with practice shapes our continuing education concepts and ensures that all content is geared towards real industrial requirements.
Our training covers a broad range of subjects, including materials science, materials testing, heat treatment and non-destructive testing (NDT).
Our modular continuing education programme
Our modular continuing education programme allows qualification programmes to be designed flexibly to meet specific needs. By combining different modules, training can be tailored precisely to a company’s requirements in terms of both subject matter and scheduling.
The programme offers a broad range of subjects, in-depth content and diverse organisational options. This enables us to develop tailored continuing education concepts for companies, teams or individual professionals.
Our educational programmes cater for different levels of prior knowledge and qualifications. They range from test technician courses to the “W.S. Special” seminar series for specialists and managers. Courses can be delivered as open courses at our training centre or as in-house training at your company.
