Abaris Training Instructors Awarded NCATT Certification


The National Center for Aerospace and Transportation Technologies (NCATT) has awarded five Abaris trainers the prestigious certification for training excellence. They are (from left to right) Mike Meringolo, Dave Castellar, Corrie Volinkaty, Bill Kinard and Jay Carpenter.
...
Funding by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2001 led to the creation of NCATT “to promote integrity, safety and professionalism in the aerospace workforce.” Recognition by NCATT demonstrates that these trainers have “met or exceeded the standard set by the people who know it best, industry experts working in the field.”

Michael Hoke, President of Abaris Training stated, “I am proud of our instructors for receiving this acknowledgement of the credentials they bring to every class they teach. This award also recognizes the true value of the hands-on approach that has distinguished the Abaris Training method for the last 28 years.”

Abaris Training is recognized as the global leader in hands-on instruction for the advanced composites industries with 26 standard courses ranging from Design and Analysis to Composites Fabrication and Damage Repair. To date, Abaris has trained over 17,000 students from 63 countries.

Heatcon-Abaris Serves the European Market  from the U.K.

Heatcon-Abaris has been serving Europe , from our Bicester, Oxfordshire , England facility, where we are co-located with the Oxford & Cherwell Valley College Facility.  We are now offering all three of our most popular advanced composite repair courses; Fabrication and Damage Repair-Phase 1, Damage Repair Phase 2, and Damage Repair Phase 3.  These offerings are also available on-site, for those companies that have a large group that they wish to train.  Please visit our website for more information: http://www.heatcon-abaris.com/

The Sandwich Structure Design and Analysis course has been developed specifically for civil, mechanical, structural and aeronautical engineers who are involved with sandwich structures.  Participants without engineering training in composite laminate design are strongly encouraged to take our Mechanics of Composite Laminates course as a prerequisite.  This course is specifically designed for engineers who are responsible for the design and fabrication of sandwich structures. The application of composite materials as the facings is of particular interest and a focus of the design analysis in the course.

This course will cover the design requirements of sandwich structures.   Detailed stress analysis will be discussed with respect to design detail such as joints, and holes.   Other aspects of the course to be covered include environmental and longevity aspects, component quality issues and in-service support issues.

Several design exercises are undertaken during the course on classroom computers. Case studies will be used to reinforce the lectures. Participants in the course will be provided with a comprehensive set of course notes and other related documents, and a CD with the software files used on the course.

The program is offered to those persons who are currently teaching, or those that wish to teach subjects related to advanced composite materials, manufacturing, or repair.

This workshop will test and measure the student’s level of knowledge in composite materials & processes, as well as their presentation and communication skills. Each attendee will be graded upon these abilities and certified to a list of training standards.

This program is designed to train each person how to teach advanced composite subjects with the technical expertise and confidence necessary to engage their own students.

Abaris Training is now listed with the State of Nevada, Department of Employment Training and Rehabilitation.
