The Fastener Training Institute (FTI), a non-profit provider of fastener products and technical training, is planning its next Fastener Training Week in Cleveland, OH, from April 8th to 12th. The training will be held at Brighton-Best International.
Early-bird rates for the Fastener Training Week are available until March 25th, with discounts available for multiple attendees and association members. Learn more or register here.
“We are excited to welcome our next class of Fastener Training Week students,” shared Jo Morris, marketing director with FTI. “Knowledge builds confidence and leads to a safer industry. FTI is committed to providing continuous opportunities for all levels of fastener education.”
Developed in 1998 with guidance from the International Fastener Institute, the Certified Fastener Specialist (CFS) advanced technical training program is the most noteworthy measurement of technical aptitude for fastener professionals.
After Fastener Training Week, students who pass a final exam receive CFS designation.
The week will include hands-on demonstrations, learning labs, classroom instruction and plant tours, all in a team atmosphere taught by industry-expert instructors from Industrial Fasteners Institute, Laurence Claus and Salim Brahimi.
FTI’s advanced technical training program is for fastener distributors, manufacturers, end-users as well as sales and quality assurance professionals.
Topics will include:
• Consensus standards organizations
• IFI resources
• Torque tension
• QA systems and sampling plans
• Thread technology and gage issues
• Print reading and tolerances
• Material specifications for steel fasteners
• Understanding how fasteners fail
“Fastener Training Week was an absolutely eye-opening experience. The sheer amount of engineering consideration
that goes into an overlooked everyday item is absolutely astounding,” shared a previous FTI attendee.
Fastener Training Week is ideal for teams, departments, and individuals. Early-bird rates are available until March 25th, with discounts available for multiple attendees, as well as association members (Pac-West, NFDA, IFI, MWFA, NCFA and SFA).
Support from Würth Industry North America, FTI’s Sustaining Sponsor, is key to the successful presentation of
Fastener Training Week, as well as all training offerings from FTI.
