Education & Certification Platform for the professional coating industry
This week we have made several changes and additions to content of our powder fluidity course.
This reference course is intended for professionals within the coating industry and learn them how to measure the fluidity of powder enamel and/or powder paint, test equipment being used, applicable standards and how to evaluate the test results.
Nordson uploaded an interesting movie about electrostatic powder application technology on their YouTube channel. See https://youtu.be/espwE7122VI
Industrial Enameling Academy is a registered trademark of Ditmer Trading & Consulting BV, which will be applied to various education & certification services within the vitreous/porcelain enameling industry.
The “war on talent” and related skills gap are a serious mid-term risk for most industrial companies in developed countries according to BNR, the Dutch business radiostation.
For this reason it is highly recommended to improve HR retention rates and provide continuous education to your workforce.
DTC’s Education & Certification platform might assist you with this second objective.
Do you want to set-up online training courses for internal use ?
Upon request DTC may develop and/or host e-learning courses for in-house purposes.
Please feel free contact us for more information.
Our e-learning courses are typically build from multiple building blocks called lessons.
These lessons are build with smaller building blocks called topics.
Quizzes may be used at course, lesson and/or topic level.
Depending upon current knowledge, courses may be provided at three different levels :
I – Newcomers
II – Professionals
III – Experts
“Prior knowledge assessments” will be made available to determine the appropriate training level.
In order to determine the appropriate online training (level), we have created so-called “prior knowledge assessments”.
During the course, quizzes will be regularly used to verify the absorption of lessons and/or topics.
Once an e-learning course have been completed, we conduct a “final assessment” and may optionally certify “succesfull completion” of the course.
ISO 9001:2015 Clause 7 requires organisations to:
1. Establish the required competency requirements of person(s) doing work under its control that affects the performance and effectiveness of the management system,
2. Establish the competency of these persons. (IE: Appropriate education, training, or experience,)
3. Take appropriate actions where applicable, for persons to acquire the necessary competence, and then evaluate the effectiveness of these actions. EG: Training, mentoring, reassignment of currently employed persons or the hiring or contracting of competent persons.
Appropriate documented information needs to also be retained as evidence of competence.
A reference course is a collection of knowledge & information bundled neatly together and wel organised, which people can refer to relevant sections of whenever they wish/need.
Often the info in a reference course might already be out there for free on the internet, but in a disorganized and low quality way.
By pulling it all together in one place and teaching it in a clear way, we hope to create real value and help to solve people’s problems.
