MFN is organizing frequently these international 2-3 days Shot Peening Workshops and Trade Shows to attract a wide spread audience. Suppliers from the industries, invited guest speakers, MFN scientific advisers and MFN trainers are combined to provide a mixture of knowledge that is beneficial to all those involved in peening, rather than exclusively for one particular group in this field. So operators, supervisors, process & maintenance engineers, buyers, even trainers will be able to either learn something completely new, or at least be able to refresh their knowledge.

FAA accepted Courses:

All 3 courses offered during the workshop are FAA accepted. Participants who passed the optional examination receive a "Certificate of Achievement", which has the related FAA identification number on it. The FAA acceptance gives the courses a general credibility. However, there are a lot of aviation repair and overhaul stations, which do receive frequent FAA audits. Especially those companies will appreciate to have access to a FAA accepted shot peening training.
