Training
Enabling the acquisition of new skills
As a certified training organisation, by the French government, the CTTC makes its skills available to you, through ongoing training courses combining theory and practice. These courses cover conventional ceramic shaping processes (dry, plastic and liquid), additive manufacturing processes, characterisation or heat treatment of ceramics.
Objectives
Acquire specific skills to improve understanding of the use of ceramic materials, or better manage their manufacturing processes.
Who should attend?
Engineers or technicians who produce, use or wish to use ceramics.
Access for people with disabilities: the course can be adapted to meet the needs of people with disabilities by contacting us (see contact details below); access to our facilities is specifically designed to meet the needs of people with reduced mobility.
The Courses
- According to a catalogue or tailor-made program
- At the CTTC or on site (by adapting the training content)
- Procedure: teaching methods encourage trainee participation by creating small groups of trainees (6 to 8 people to the maximum) and carrying out practical work using CTTC’s equipment
- Access: face-to-face in the CTTC's facilities
We offer a wide range of training courses in the form of theoretical presentations and practical trials on our industrial equipment, enabling you to discover the specific features of the manufacture and use of ceramics.
