If you know someone that would benefit please feel free to pass this information onto them! Bring your Buyers, Engineers, Designers, and Customer Service personnel, anyone whose job will benefit from understanding the plating process.

WHEN: Start looking for a Friday in February that works for you and contact Jaime via email or phone with any questions or to reserve a spot. WHY: Even if you have attended in the past it will be a good refresher that will include new information and discuss current and past problem projects.

QUESTIONS & REGISTRATION: Contact Jaime, or contact your RPW/Elite representative to sign up or gain more info.

KEEP IN MIND: The Plating classes are filling up fast due to an overwhelming demand. The first class scheduled for February 1st only has two spots left, the class on the 8th has only 3 openings, the class on the 15th has 16 openings and the class on the 22nd has 5 openings. Please contact us as soon as possible so that we can get you registered. If there is enough interest, we can add an additional day in March.
