Specialist trainings
We conduct trainings and courses for students, entrepreneurs and employees of companies connected with:
* technology and processing of plastic materials, elastomers and rubber, as well as coating products, pigments and paint fillers;
* corrosion protection of varnish coatings, new generation coatings;
* coating resistance testing methods.
The trainings are conducted in an open formula, in accordance to a framework range of topics, or in a closed formula in which the scope of the training is determined individually with the Ordering Party. The classes are conducted by researchers of the Institute, having knowledge and experience in their relevant specialties.
Our trainings stand out with combination of theory and practice, implemented in laboratories of our Institute in Toruń, Piastów, and Gliwice.
