MFN is organizing frequently these international 1-4 days Shot Peening Workshops and to attract a wide spread audience. Operators, supervisors, process & maintenance engineers, buyers, even trainers will be able to either learn something completely new, or at least be able to refresh their knowledge.
FAA approved Courses:
All 3 courses offered during the workshop are FAA approved. Participants who passed the optional examination receive a "Certificate of Achievement", which has the related FAA identification number on it. The FAA approval gives the courses a general credibility. However, there are a lot of aviation repair and overhaul stations, which do receive frequent FAA audits. Especially those companies will appreciate to have access to a FAA approved shot peening training.
MFN is Partner in Education in Nadcap:
Nadcap and MFN have agreed to recognize and promote the cooperation between the two organizations in areas of common interest according to their purpose, namely aerospace special process assessment. The cooperation will be known as “Partners in Education” and is intended to create synergy, making optimal use of the resources available, for the accreditation related activities offered by both organizations so as to provide an effective and efficient service to the aerospace industries in the world.
