Laminator Course

The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), in conjunction with Structural Composites, Inc., has developed the ABYC Laminator course. This is an entry level course that can also be used as a prerequisite to the ABYC Composite Boat Builder Certification (CBBC) course.

In this course, students will be introduced to the theory and practical application of composites, materials, open molding procedures, finishing, and personal safety. The 2 day class is specifically designed to give a rudimentary understanding of the guidelines boat builders need to follow when building a composite boat. The material is taught on the first day in two 4 hour blocks. The second day begins with a hour review and is followed by a 2 hour, 100-question exam. After successful completion of the course, including the exam, attendees will earn the designation of ABYC Laminator and qualify for the ABYC Composite Boat Builder Certification course. Please check the calendar for dates and locations.
