After the course, the participants will be able to professionally handle adhesive bonding tasks as per specification and will have a deep understanding of the differences between adhesive bonding and conventional bonding methods.

After this course, the participants will be able to understand the special aspects of the gluing process and the know how of the gluing work. In addition, they will have a clear picture of the relevant coherence and importance of work instructions.

The course gives participants an understanding of the technical aspects and importance of the work procedures and therefore allows them to carry out bonding work independently and effectively. 

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.

On completion of training, the trainees are in a position to monitor adhesive bonding in production, design joints which are suitable for adhesive bonding, select a suitable, certified adhesive and systematically detect faults in the process.

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.

This course allows former participants of international European Adhesive Specialist (EAS) and European Adhesive Engineer (EAE) courses to refresh their knowledge of adhesive bonding and learn about the latest developments.

At the end of this training, trainees will be able to understand the multitude of adhesion and adhesives related processes, theories, benefits, limitations and restrictions, propose surface treatments and recognise relevant health and safety hazards.

The aim of this course is to provide the participants with an overview and insight into glues, the qualitative properties, the various areas of application and the associated processing processes.
