Due to the practical nature of lectures it has been important to find venues for both workshop and lecture room facilities. We are fortunate that in JHB the Astro Holdings Group have made the excellent venue at their production facility available to SAMFA for this initiative. In KZN, we will be using more than one venue in Westville for the classroom facilities and the practical content is being done at Coating Technologies with thanks to KZN exec member, Vinesh Mewalal.
This course has been modified and enhanced. Expert guest speakers from the industry address our trainees on all subjects ranging from the manufacture of powder to the chemistry of the pre-cleaning systems and the hardware that is used. Trainees get to handle real equipment and experience a working powder coating environment with opportunities for hands on involvement.
The basic theory of powder coating is dealt with and subjects are explained in an easy-to-understand manner illustrated with the aid of PowerPoint and other visual material including DVD movies. Manuals, printed in plain English, are distributed to trainees to study during the course and are theirs to keep for future reference.
Participants are encouraged to pose questions and share problems that they may have experienced in the work place.
Trainees are required to take part in a practical exam where they will be given an actual component to coat and complete a verbal test. The minimum pass mark is 60% and successful participants receive an attractive certificate.
