Training Classes

Akzo Nobel Aerospace Coatings believes in partnering with customers in the aerospace industry. ANAC promotes and strengthens these partnerships by offering a Global Training Program to employees of its industry partners.

The training program curriculum is based on a broad understanding of the paint-making process, from origination to completion. Coupled with interactive lab sessions and facility tours, knowledge gained at the program assures a comprehensive experience for anyone involved in the use or procurement of aerospace coatings.

The ANAC training program is customized to suit individual customer requirements. Modular training program topics include: Evolution of Aerospace Coatings, Material Handling & Safety, Coatings Formulation, Color, Manufacturing, Quality and Continuous Improvement, Technologies of the Future, and Spray Application. During the hands-on application sessions, participants apply primers and topcoats using a variety of spray equipment.

Participants in the Global Training Program find the knowledge gained to be a beneficial addition to their background and expertise. Past attendees have commended the unique opportunity to learn from industry professionals which, combined with the hands-on learning environment, results in a valuable educational experience.

The 2.5 day training program is offered at our facilities in Waukegan, Illinois and Sassenheim, the Netherlands. Customized training, based on select modules, is available at our facility in Leicester, UK as well. To learn more about the program or to obtain a brochure, please contact:
