The aim of this course is to explain the adhesive bonding on theoretical and practical level. Emphasis is placed primarily on the acquisition of skills needed for independently performing practical tasks in this area.

After successful completion of this course, the participants can draw up work instructions and lead executive activities, whereby the professionals can be assisted in technical and practical aspects.

After the completion of this course, the participants will be able to give instructions to implementers of adhesive joints, prepare work instructions, contribute to quality assurance of the bonding process, provide planning, organisation and control of adhesive work, recognise deviations and know how to deal with them and, monitor and change process parameters of the bonding process.

During this course, participants will learn every information they need to know to make effective adhesive connections. They will also learn which are the different adhesives and properties. 

During this course, various welding methods are discussed such as hot gas welding, wire welding, extrusion welding, butt welding and mirror welding, socket welding, electrofusion, saddle welding and gluing plastic pipes.

The course provides a fundamental understanding of the materials science, bonding properties of substrates, curing mechanisms and processing properties, surface treatment, connection technology, quality management, test methods and aging.

The aim of this course is to provide an understanding of the microstructure and properties of materials with particular reference to materials used in construction.

The aim is to offer an insight into different adhesive systems, dispensing adhesives, surfaces treatments, cured adhesives, designing with bonded joints, mechanical testing of bonded joints, durability and accelerated ageing and, quality control.
