The Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development adopts the latest scientific and professional methodologies in training and human resource development, aiming to enhance the efficiency of individuals and organizations. Training programs are delivered through a comprehensive approach that includes:

• Theoretical lectures supported by PowerPoint presentations and visual materials (videos and short films).
• Scientific evaluation of participants before and after the program to measure progress and knowledge acquisition.
• Brainstorming sessions and practical role-playing to simulate real-life scenarios.
• Case studies tailored to align with the training content and participants work nature.
• Assessment tests conducted at the end of the program to evaluate the achievement of training objectives.

Each participant receives the training material (both theoretical and practical) in printed form and saved on a CD or flash drive. Detailed reports, including attendance records, final results, and overall program evaluations, are also provided.

Training materials are prepared professionally by a team of experts and specialists in various fields. At the end of the program, participants are awarded a professional attendance certificate, signed and accredited by the Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development.

Program Timings:

• 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM in Arab cities.
• 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM in European and Asian cities.

The program includes:

• A daily buffet provided during the sessions to ensure participants comfort.

Course Introduction:

Metallurgy is a critical field that impacts numerous industries, from manufacturing and construction to aerospace and automotive sectors. For professionals without a metallurgy background, understanding the fundamentals of metals, their properties, processing methods, and applications is essential for making informed decisions in engineering, procurement, quality control, and production management.

This training program provides a comprehensive introduction to metallurgy, focusing on metal properties, alloy selection, heat treatment, failure analysis, and quality control techniques. Participants will gain practical knowledge that enhances their ability to work effectively with metals in various industrial applications.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the basic principles of metallurgy and material science.
• Identify different types of metals and alloys and their applications.
• Recognize the impact of heat treatment and processing on material properties.
• Analyze metal failures and implement quality control techniques.
• Apply metallurgical knowledge in manufacturing, engineering, and product development.

• Engineers and Technicians (Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, and Industrial)
• Quality Control and Inspection Personnel
• Procurement and Supply Chain Professionals
• Manufacturing and Production Supervisors
• Research and Development Professionals
• Anyone involved in working with metals and materials

The Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development is committed to hosting all training programs in dedicated and well-equipped hotel facilities specifically designed for conducting and delivering training sessions, unless explicitly stated otherwise on our website. Participants will be notified of the program venue within 7 to 21 days prior to the programs start date, based on the Academys assessment and the programs circumstances. The Academy emphasizes that it holds no responsibility for any force majeure events that may prevent the program from being held at the designated venue. Nevertheless, the Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development will make every effort to provide suitable alternatives and extend the necessary support to participants in the event of a venue change due to unforeseen circumstances.
