Location Manchester UK – Monday 7th through Thursday 10th April.
FOUNDATION COURSE DETAILS:
The course dates are Monday 7th of April 2025 to Thursday 10th of April 2025.
Day 1 will be hosted by Merlin Circuits at their Deeside facility. Days 2, 3, and 4 will be held at Chester University.
A welcome dinner, kindly sponsored by Polar Instruments, will be held in Chester for all delegates on the Monday evening.
The course includes 18 different lectures on topics related to PCB design and manufacturing from experts in our industry. The delegates also get to
witness many of the topics they will gain knowledge on first-hand during their factory tour of Merlin Circuits. It really is the perfect course
to gain a grounding in the many different aspects that our industry deals with on a day-to-day basis and if you don’t believe me, here are some
of the comments our 2024 alumni provided on the course –
• Thanks for the course. As a new in PCBs, I had chance to meet with the people in the PCB business, it contributed a lot to my PCB knowledge.
• I had no knowledge prior to the course, now I do….thank you.
• Thank you for having me, I have thoroughly enjoyed the course. It has been a wonderful experience! Loved the lectures!
• Really good experience.
• Fantastic run course. Thanks a lot 🙂
• Course was better than I thought. I certainly have come away having learnt a few things. Lovely bunch of people on the course too. Would
highly recommend the course to my colleagues.
The cost of the course is: Residential – ICT Members £800 /
non-members £950. Non-residential – ICT Members £550 / non-members £650.
The registration form for the course is attached to this mail. Please aim to return the completed booking forms to me by the 18th of March,
especially for residential delegates. If you have passed this date and know someone that would like to join the course, please do get in touch
with Emma and she will try to make it happen.
