Since 1994, the Fraunhofer IFAM/Training Center for Adhesive Bonding Technology has been providing personnel-certifying training courses in adhesive bonding technology for company employees. What started out as a very small programme is now - 30 years later - a global industry standard under the umbrella of the European Federation for Welding, Cutting and Joining - EWF, which is used by participants from all five continents. The product-neutral, cross-industry and cross-hierarchy adhesive bonding technology personnel qualification is carried out worldwide in cooperation with German, European and non-European partners in accordance with the quality standards of the Fraunhofer IFAM.
The awarding of the participants' final documents after successful examinations is always standardised in accordance with ISO 17024, so that these documents are also internationally comparable and have the same value, regardless of where in the world they were obtained under the umbrella of EWF and Fraunhofer IFAM.
