AIM Institute Training Courses

The Plastics Technology and Engineering (PTE) Certificate Program was developed to bridge the knowledge gap between university education and professional experience. It is the most comprehensive plastics education available outside of a university setting.

This course is for molders who are responsible for starting up and troubleshooting a mold using a documented process, and for non-molders who are looking for a hands-on injection molding experience.

Molding 2 is a 10-day* injection molding training course for experienced processors. This course includes online reviews. *Two 5-day weeks, separated by 6-8 weeks of online reviews.

This injection molding education is unlike anything else in our industry. The goal of Molding 3 is to give employees a robust toolbox of plastics knowledge, problem solving techniques, critical thinking skills, and advanced processing methods so that when they do encounter a problem they are able to troubleshoot it effectively and creatively.

A combination of classroom instruction and hands-on training makes this course an integral part of many companies’ core orientation practices.

Attendees will learn how various hot runner systems function and the critical areas of each.
