Course – Introduction to Iron Casting

Through 13 training nuggets (thematic units consisting of videos between 15 and 40 minutes long) focused on the main phases of the iron casting process, this online training activity, aimed at professionals actively working in industrial iron foundry companies, aims to provide an overview of this important manufacturing process to the different profiles (technical and non-technical) within the organization.

Course objectives:

  • To understand the phases of the iron casting process.
  • To review/understand the key concepts and terms of iron casting.
  • To highlight the importance of proper control and performance of the activities in each phase to reduce faulty production and quality issues.

Target audience:

  • Technical and non-technical staff of iron casting companies.
  • New hires.
  • Continuous training.

Frequently Asked Questions

Although this is a complete series, each nugget works as a thematic module that can be consumed as an independent learning unit.

The company or individual conducting the training can choose whether to complete the entire course or only those modules (leaning nuggets) that are relevant to their specific professional profile.

Yes. After viewing the content of the thematic module (a 15-40 minute video), the student must complete the assessment activity to consider the training activity has been completed.

Upon completion of each module (learning nugget) and passing the evaluation questionnaire, the user/learner will be able to generate a certificate certifying that they have completed and passed the training activity.

AZTERLAN can provide the company with relevant data regarding its users’ activity inside the platform:

  • Time spent on the platform and dedicated to each training activity
  • Modules (learning nuggets) completed
  • Results obtained in the assessment activities

Currently, this activity is aimed at foundry companies as a way to strengthen continuous training among their professional teams.
