The course is a great way for business in the LCR to build capabilities around Industry 4.0 technologies and skills and includes practical 3D Printing and 3D CAD training, and a good grounding in Digital Twinning, AR/VR, Robotics, IoT, Cyber & Big Data, Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) and outlines how the Industry 4.0 technologies go together as a system to maximise efficiencies and competitiveness.

The course is designed to be fully modular and flexible and we run a rolling ‘hop-on-hop-off’ carousel schedule for maximum flexibility but the course must be completed withing 16 weeks of starting the first module.

It consists of 10 x 6 hour modules (6 remote via Teams) and 4 Face to face practical 3D Printing and 3D CAD modules, each training day runs from 09:30 to 15:30.
