Accreditation & Advisory Board

So what does all of this mean to you?

• You can be assured of our program’s quality.

  • Think of this in manufacturing: An ISO certification lets you know that a manufacturer is holding themselves to a specific set of standards, and you can trust that they will perform at a high level accordingly. Our accreditation to the ANSI/ASTM E2659 standard is that same mark for our education courses and programs, including PT&E and Molders’ Series.

• Your employees are coming out of these programs with measurable improvement in both their knowledge and skills.

  • An independent auditing party and industrial advisory board are scrutinizing our program’s content, and our claims about what the program’s graduates will have the capacity to do after they have completed the program.
  • The course materials and exams are designed around specific learning outcomes that have been identified by a highly diverse Advisory Board as necessary to effectively perform certain roles within the Injection Molding Industry.
  • Our unique AIM Learning Model is proven to maximize learning retention.

• You are acknowledging the critical role that your employees play in your development and/or manufacture injection molded products, especially in life- and health-critical industries (medical, automotive, aerospace, military, etc.)

  • Accredited training provides evidence that you hold your employee’s skills and knowledge to the same standards as your operations and/or product certifications (ISO/ANSI, ITAR, Nedcap, ASQ, UL, etc.).

• You are demonstrating that your employees’ capabilities matter.

  • Especially if you are in a life- or health- critical industry, risk mitigation is important. You should be putting your best foot forward to make sure your employees have the knowledge and skills to execute their roles optimally. Choosing an accredited program shows that you take education seriously, and you are doing everything you can to mitigate your risk of product failure in the field.

• You have access to employee assessment tools.

  • We work with employers to develop individualized employee development plans based on current skills, job responsibilities, and future goals. We utilize skill evaluation assessments to evaluate where each potential student should begin and what course(s) will get them to where they need to go.

• Your training provider cares.

  • An organization doesn’t sign up for a non-mandatory, highly critical audit process just for the fun of it. We believe that quality matters, and we choose to be scrutinized so that we can assure our customers that we stand behind our word, and also so that we can better ourselves.
