Candidates must be able to demonstrate existing knowledge levels through either passing the EXT2 end of course assessment or having achieved an NVQ Level 2 or having completed our pre-course questionnaire and achieved a score of 70% or above. The aim of the course is to provide delegates with an in-depth knowledge of the extrusion process in order to competently and safely set up machines to achieve specified product quality levels and output rates.
Specifically designed to address the needs of people requiring high-level skills in configuring and optimising the extrusion manufacturing process. In particular:
On completion of the course, the delegates will be able to:
Polymer Processing Certificate Part 3 Material covered has been aligned to the content of an NVQ at Level 3 and can be used as underpinning knowledge towards achieving the award, if so desired.
Individual candidate knowledge levels are assessed at the end of the training programme and a management report is provided to help identify further training requirements or career progression possibilities. This is a PTIC assessment of knowledge for the extrusion process but candidates can then progress towards achievement of their PTIC Approved Technicians Award by successfully completing a further practical assessment.
