The Fastener Training Institute (FTI) announces it will offer Fastener Training Week in Los Angeles, December 4-8. It comes on the heels of a sold-out session, so advance registration is encouraged.

“We had an incredible full class in Chicago last month and are eager to be on the west coast for an equally successful training week,” shared Jo Morris, FTI marketing director. “It’s wonderful to support students on the path to acquiring advanced knowledge, skills and confidence,” she added.

Fastener Training Week is the five-day, intensive version of FTI’s Certified Fastener Specialist™ (CFS) advanced technical training program. It’s for seasoned fastener professionals with at least two years of experience or those who have completed FTI’s Fastener Basics or Product Training series. Fastener Training Week includes small group classroom education, discussions, and hands-on exercises along with plant and testing facility tours and networking opportunities.

Fastener Training Week in Los Angeles will be taught by leading industry experts from the Industrial Fasteners Institute, Laurence Claus and Salim Brahimi, and held at the Holiday Inn in La Mirada. Registration includes educational materials, continental breakfast and lunch, transportation for plant tours, certification of completion and eligibility for the CFS designation.
