106 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S

106 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK FTI - 10842 Noel St #107, Los Alamitos CA 90720 • Tel: 562-473-5373 • Email: info@fastenertraining.org • www.fastenertraining.org FASTENER TRAINING INSTITUTE FASTENER TRAINING INSTITUTE ® 2015 FASTENER PRODUCT TRAINING PLANS The objective of the Fastener Training Institute® (FTI) is to elevate the level of technical understanding and expertise of individuals in the fastener industry by providing a variety of training programs presented by recognized industry experts. At this writing we’re working to set plans for next year. The new schedule will include over 30 events in more than 10 cities throughout the US. The events vary from half-day fastener basic workshops to full 5-day Certified Fastener Specialist (CFS) classes. FTI offers classes ranging from a 3-part fastener product training class for folks new to our industry up to an advanced CFS class on hydrogen embrittlement for seasoned fastener veterans. We’re closing this year with two great classes: “Fastener Training Week” November 17-21st at the IFI headquarters in Cleveland, OH The Fastener Training Institute and the Industrial Fasteners Institute (IFI) continue their partnership to present Fastener Training Week – Cleveland, the week-long training program for fastener distributors and manufacturers on manufacturing processes, consensus standards, quality control and much more. This class is an intensive version of the acclaimed FTI Certified Fastener Specialist advanced technical training program. Instead of seven separate one-day classes, Fastener Training Week will consist of five intensive days of education and plant tours. Fastener Training Week will feature learning labs taught by leading industry experts, Carmen Vertullo CFS (Carver Consulting), Salim Brahimi (IBECA Technologies) and Laurence Claus (NNi Training and Consulting), interactive exercises, quizzes to reinforce learning, and plant tours of manufacturing, secondary processes and testing facilities. Joe Greenslade, IFI Director of Engineering Technology, has been instrumental in developing this program and providing content. As Joe says, “Almost everyone in the fastener industry from one month to thirty years of experience in any capacity related to sales, engineering, or quality can learn and benefit from this program. There is no better investment a manager can make in their business than providing good training to their staff.” “Metric Fasteners: There’s More to Know than You Think” December 9th in La Mirada, CA This one-day advanced class will be presented by Carmen Vertullo of Carver Consulting. Carmen is a primary trainer at FTI and is very well known in the fastener industry for his teaching, magazine articles and consulting services. This is a technical seminar focusing exclusively on metric fasteners, going well beyond the basics. Initially fundamental information will be covered to set the stage for more advanced technical aspects of metric fasteners. Let’s admit it, most of us need to take this class. FTI is now offering monthly fastener product training interactive webinars In August Joe Greenslade presented our inaugural interactive webinar event “Thread Fit Matters.” This program was very well attended and received. This format is convenient, low cost and allows us to reach a worldwide audience. Please visit our website www.FastenerTraining.org for our new webinar schedule and for information on all our courses.
