COURSE OVERVIEW

"A course certificate that proves real industry competence."

This Mechanical Testing & Mechanical Properties of Engineering Materials training course provides candidates with comprehensive knowledge, skills & understanding on the mechanical testing methods & the mechanical properties of engineering materials.

The course also includes a review of the applicable international standards for each test.

It is an engineering‑focused mechanical‑testing course that teaches professionals how to interpret tensile, impact, hardness, bend and fracture results — and understand what they mean for material behaviour, weld quality and structural performance. 

The course has been developed by academic & industry experts which ensures that the content is both academically rigorous and practically relevant. 

Candidates also receive a comprehensive, full-colour Training Handbook that serves as both a course guide and a valuable reference tool after completion of the course.

NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED

The course is suitable for candidates at all levels, including those new to Mechanical Testing, as no specific qualification entry requirements are needed. The course material is clear & easy to follow with reference to helpful U-Tube videos.
