The idea to start offering training courses came from our customers.
easy composites has always had a reputation for providing really great technical information
and doing so in a way that people find easy to understand.
I guess if we can teach some how to make a carbon fibre bonnet from start to finish in
a youtube video then people know and realise that we would be a company who would deliver
first rate composites training as an in house course.
What sets Easy Composites apart is our complete fascination with composites what they can
do and how people can harness them.
We can advanced techniques that people associate with aerospace or F1 and we make them possible
and realistic for smaller businesses and even individuals to use in the real world.
We have a wide range of people attending our courses, from university lecturers and technicians
through to people from small business and individuals.
One thing that they all say is they got out of the course exactly what they wanted.
Our courses are all primarily practical, theory's great and it's really helpful and important
to understand some of the science behind the techniques but without practical skill and
experience this theory's wasted because the manufactured parts would be so far from how
they were supposed to be.
Our courses include subjects like pattern and mould making, resin infusion and out of
auto clave pre preg carbon fibre> for anyone new to advanced composites our courses compliment
each other perfectly and provide the necessary knowledge to take an original design idea
and turn it into the completed composite part.
We're well known for specialising in advanced composites materials and so of course we make
extensive use of materials like carbon fibre, Kevlar and core materials.
With all our courses there's a lot to fit in so we get straight into making patterns
or preparing moulds or cutting reinforcements and bagging materials.
it's when we start doing processes like vacuum bagging that being able to show people things
hands on is so useful.
For example, I'll demonstrate the essentials of good bagging technique then watch and assist
as delegates do it for themselves.
Being able to see what they're doing and pointing out problems as they happen is what makes
this practical training so effective.
By the afternoon we're into the fun part like starting the resin infusion whether the delegates
are experienced or first timers everybody still gets a buzz watching the resin infuse
through the laminate.
When we built the training centre we thought it was important to create not just great
space for composites but also for a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
When delegates arrive in the morning it's nice to be able to meet and have a chat about
each others projects over a coffee.
We have great facilities for refreshments briefings and of course the fully equipped
training room.
And we provide all protective clothing and equipment that delegates may need throughout
the day.
We have a brief chat to explain the plan for the day and then it's straight into the practical
room to get started.
Delegates who are with us for more than one day get a chance to demould parts that they've
made and they're free to take them home for achievement.
The re are not many things more rewarding the demoulding a stunning carbon fibre part
that you've made for yourselves.
In recognition of what delegates have learnt and covered on our courses certificates are
presented at the end of the day and if people want to we always save some time back to discuss
individual projects in private.
As well as our scheduled courses we're also able to create bespoke training courses for
specific groups.
bespoke courses can be a single day through to a week or more and allow use to offer speciality
topics such a UAV manufacture, motor sports parts or repair work.
Of course if anyone wants to take away equipment or materials on the day then this is no problem
because the full stock of Easy Composite products are available on site.
if every person that came on one of our courses can go away from the course confident that
they can use a technology or a process that we've taught in the real world and make quality
parts then we've achieved what we set out to do with these courses.
