Hi Guys,
I thought I'd let you know that there is a basic composites course now running at Kangan Tafe Broadmeadows Campus. The course covers the application and repair of fiberglass, kevlar and carbon fiber, hand layups, vacuum bagging, resin infusion etc. and is suitable for the hobbyist. It runs for 7 weeks on a Thursday evening 5:30pm to 8:30ishpm. We have allready done the first evening but for anyone wishing to join in that shouldn't be an issue as the information covered over the first evening is straight from the text book which easy to learn and is provided as part of the course. The instructor is very switched on, he has worked in the aerospace industry as a composites fabricator and runs a successful business from home doing repair and manufacturing of a variety of composite products. I must mention that currently there are only five people in the class as some of the students didn't show on the first night and there is meant to be a minimum of 8 for the course to run so there shouldn't be an issue about joining in. The course cost is $420 including GST which covers all materials and text book. You will need to provide your own safety glasses and safety footwear. Go to building J, room 312.
The instructors name is Toby Orr and can be emailed at [email protected] His direct number is 9279 2272, I reccomend you email him as he can be difficult to contact on the phone.
