Registering for a metallurgy course

online metallurgy course registration example
  • "Principles of Metallurgy covered the foundations of metallurgy and effects of manufacturing processes needed to obtain desired mechanical properties. This information has been valuable during my work in both design and manufacturing. I highly recommend it for someone that could benefit from knowledge of the fundamentals of metallurgy."
    Chris M.
    Mechanical Design Engineer
    Oil & Gas Industry
  • The Principles of Metallurgy course was a great refresher and supplement to the Properties of Materials course I took in college. The content focuses on information relative to industry, which will help greatly in my day-to-day job functions.
    Alex Nocera
    Ensign-Bickford Aerospace and Defense
  • Well worth the time to do Metallurgy of Steel Heat Treating. It has given me more confidence in my job and given me a better understanding of some of the heat treatments used in the business
    Mark Winter
    Test House, Abbey Forged Products
  • I learned a bunch from this course. I needed an understanding of the heat treating and metals for our heat treating process in house. I now have a much better understanding of what is accomplished in the process along with understanding what could be a problem in our process.

Metallurgy training

Learning metallurgy online is an effective approach for gaining knowledge needed to effectively deal with design and manufacturing decisions, questions, and problems related to the metals used in products and equipment. This includes:

  • Materials selection for components
  • Reducing component costs
  • Improving quality and reliability
  • Determine the cause of quality problems and component failures

Leveraging metallurgical engineering

Product design and manufacturing is complicated. So, why not take advantage of every tool available to make things easier? Even though millions of components are made of metal, metallurgical engineering is under-leveraged at many companies. The result… lost opportunities to decrease product development time, design lower-cost component, solve reliability and quality problems faster, and innovate more.

Learn about the science of metals (metallurgy) and apply it to make engineering decisions and solve problems related to the metals used in a product.

FAQs

How much time do I have to complete a course?
Course access is for 4 months from the registration date. Completing 1-2 modules a week will enable you to complete any of our courses before the expiration date. Still, we recommend trying to complete a course within 2-3 weeks of starting for best learning outcomes. 

Who are these metallurgy courses designed for?
These courses are geared to non-metallurgists. This includes anyone who works in design, manufacturing, or quality. This includes engineers and technicians. Our courses are designed for people who want to deepen their understanding of metallurgy without prior metallurgy training.

Are training certificates awarded after completing a metallurgy course?
Yes, upon successful completion of the courses, participants receive a certification that validates their knowledge and can enhance their professional credentials. A final exam score of at least 70% is required to pass a course.

How long does it take to complete a metallurgy course?
The duration varies depending on the specific course, but most can be completed within a few weeks to a month, depending on the learner's pace.

Are there any prerequisites for enrolling in these courses?
There are no strict prerequisites. We recommend starting with our Principles of Metallurgy course to learn metallurgy fundamentals. Some of our other courses have Principles of Metallurgy as a prerequisite. Each course page has a list of prerequisites from our catalogue of courses. 

What are the benefits of taking metallurgy courses online?
Online metallurgy courses offer flexibility, allowing you to learn at your own pace from anywhere. They provide access to expert instructors, comprehensive materials, and the ability to balance studies with work or other commitments.
