Train the Trainer for ‘Sustainable Materials and End of Life Composites’

This CPD unit is available to any employer and their employees who will benefit from the course and is at no cost to the employer.

The course is delivered on-line by one of the tutors designing the training materials for the course.

This is a level 3 course.

ESP units at Level 3 cover core and foundational aspects of a topic to provide an introduction and overview of a topic. Units are accessible to learners who have studied STEM subjects at this or lower levels, but are also suitable for learners with higher level qualifications in other STEM areas/disciplines seeking an introduction to emerging technologies.

Knowledge : Has factual, procedural and theoretical knowledge and understanding of a subject or field of work to complete tasks and address problems that while well-defined, may be complex and non-routine. Can interpret and evaluate relevant information and ideas. Is aware of the nature of the area of study or work. Is aware of different perspectives or approaches within the area of study or work.

Skills : Identify, select and use appropriate cognitive and practical skills, methods and procedures to address problems that while well-defined, may be complex and non-routine. Use appropriate investigation to inform actions. Review how effective methods and actions have been.

In order to ensure that you are suitable for the course, and to enable the trainer to be made aware of your experience in Sustainable materials and end of life composites you’ll be sent a short survey to complete once you have registered for this Train the Trainer event.

The Train the Trainer event will equip those attending with the knowledge and skills and materials to deliver the Sustainable materials and end of life composites directly to their own learners.

The overall length of the unit (including the remote tutor-led element)that this Train the Trainer course will enable you to deliver yourself is 1.5 days with 0.5 days of remote tutor-led learning and the other days made up of self-directed learning and assessment. However, attendees at Train the Trainer should already have an understanding of the subject matter and therefore the session is about how to deliver the training.

The learning outcomes for this unit include:

• Understand aspects relating biobased and recycled fibres, resins, cores etc.
• Understand importance of recycling and recovery of composites including processing and reformatting routes
• Be aware of the second life applications for recycled materials
