Training Courses

Lucideon's training courses have been developed by our in-house experts, all of whom have years of industry and practical experience. If you need training customised to your business and people, we can build a training course to meet your objectives.

With a series of modules to meet specific business requirements, available in-person either at our headquarters in Staffordshire or via customised on-site training, or also via interactive online training, our experts will share their knowledge, skills, and experience with your teams whatever their business function, from technical and manufacturing through to processing, marketing, and sales.

If you can't see what you need, we offer other modules covering most standard manufacturing processes including plaster moulds, testing of ceramic materials, and forming.

In addition to our whiteware and refractories offerings, Lucideon CICS also offers a training course on the basics of UK ETS

 

 

Scheduling

For in-person sessions at Lucideon headquarters, places are limited to 12 people per module, and each module will run from 9:00am - 4:00pm (approximately).

Can't fit everything into one session? Not a problem. We can work with you to set up a training series to create a multi-session learning experience.

Please contact Caroline Mullington, Training Manager, at caroline.mullington@lucideon.com to discuss your needs.
