Technical & training

Introduction

1999, NZSSDA has organised technical seminars / training across a wide range of topics and issues. Until 2019, these were mostly held in-person free of charge to members (with a nominal charge to non-members).

With the retirement of Les Boulton and then the arrival of Covid in 2019, we have moved to promoting webinars and on-line training provided by a number of international partners.

Technical service:

As a member of NZSSDA, you have access to free technical support when required (for non-members, there may be a fee involved subject to the time required to research / respond to specific enquiries, although on most occasions we will endeavour to provide this service for free)

Through our international partnerships, we have access to experienced metallurgists and technical experts from organisations such as

• World stainless
• Nickel Institute (NI)
• International Molybdenum Association (IMOA)

Please complete the technical enquiry form, and we aim to provide initial feedback within 1 working day.

Training:

We have regular access to on-line webinars and training, provided on behalf of both members and non-members through our international partnerships. Many will be free-of-charge, while some are fee based.

These partners include the following :

Worldstainless

Team Stainless

IMOA

Nickel Institute

ASSDA

SCI

AISC

We will endeavour to post upcoming webinar information prior to each event as we receive notification.  In many instances, you will be able to register directly on-line with the organisation concerned.

Otherwise, we will arrange for registration on your behalf.

Most of these will be eligible for CPD points (whether recorded by yourself professionally, or by certificates of attendance issued after attendance)

There are also many recorded webinars that can be accessed – please contact admin@nzssda.org.nz if you have a specific topic that you are interested in.
