In addition to the above advanced course, there will be two other advanced courses, three technician training courses, and an introduction course offered in the future. The tentative course schedule with dates is shown below:
Technician Training – Thermal Properties of Refractories (March 2019)
Advanced Mechanical Properties of Refractories (June 2019)
Technician Training – Mechanical Properties of Refractories (October 2019)
Technician Training – Physical Properties of Refractories (March 2020)
Introduction to Glass (March 2020)
Introduction to Refractories (June 2020)
Technician Training – Thermal Properties of Refractories (March 2021)
Advanced Corrosion Behavior of Refractories (June 2021)
Technician Training – Mechanical Properties of Refractories (October 2021)
Orton will also provide certificates for students completing a combination of three advanced courses or three training courses plus one introduction course.
