FATIGUE STRENGTH
FATIGUE LIMIT
CREEP STRENGTH
STRESS RUPTURE STRENGTH
HARDNESS (VICKERS, BRINELL, ROCKWELL.)
The typical INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS applicable to each mechanical test are also reviewed.
The course is suitable for candidates in ALL FUNCTIONS & at ALL LEVELS & would be IDEAL for anyone that is NEW to MECHANICAL TESTING as NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE of Mechanical Testing is required & there are NO SPECIFIC QUALIFICATION ENTRY REQUIREMENTS.
There are NO SPECIFIC QUALIFICATION ENTRY REQUIREMENTS, but candidates should be able to perform calculations from straightforward mathematical formulae & to interpret data represented in graphical form.
A COMPREHENSIVE, FULL-COLOUR TRAINING HANDBOOK is provided on the course, which also serves an EXCELLENT REFERENCE following completion of the training.
There is an Assessment at the end of the training & candidates who achieve the required standard will be awarded a CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT & CPD 10 HOURS.
SELF STUDY
The course is completed by SELF STUDY, which provides a FLEXIBLE route for candidates to START & PROGRESS through the training at ANYTIME, ANYWHERE & at their OWN PACE. Total estimated SELF STUDY time required to complete the course is 10 HOURS. The START DATE for the training would follow receipt of payment of the course fees. All course materials would be posted & e-mailed to the candidate.
TUTOR SUPPORT
During their progression through the SELF STUDY course, the candidate also has the option to request a TUTORIAL SESSION with the COURSE TUTOR of up to 2 HOURS DURATION. The aim of the Session, which would be arranged ONLINE or by PHONE, would be to review any issues the candidate may have on their understanding of the course material.
Course Fee: £550 per person, inclusive of a comprehensive, full colour Training Handbook & all Assessment & certification fees.
