Introduction to Electroplating

Introduction to Electroplating

The Australasian Institute of Surface Finishing (AISF) offers an Introduction to Electroplating training module designed to build foundational knowledge and practical understanding of electroplating processes.

Facilitated by industry expert Paul Inskip, this course is delivered online via Microsoft Teams over six consecutive weeks, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm each session, with two modules covered each week.

Sessions are typically held on Fridays, with subsequent courses scheduled on Thursdays to better accommodate business requirements.

The training program covers a comprehensive range of topics, including: Introduction and Electroplating Principles, Equipment and Operations, Pre-treatment, Copper Plating, Nickel Plating, Decorative Chrome, Hard Chrome, Zinc Plating, Precious Metal Plating, Effluent Treatment, Care and Maintenance of Electroplating Solutions, and Quality and Safety in the plating shop.

Many of these modules are recognised as prior learning (RPL) within the TAFE Electroplating apprenticeship pathway, supporting participants who wish to pursue formal trade qualifications.

The course is designed to suit both beginners and experienced applicators and can be tailored to align with individual business practices.

AISF members receive discounted rates across all training modules.

All 12 module exam papers must be completed and returned. We recommend participants complete and submit them weekly for ease of management. Once all assessments have been received and marked, a certificate will be issued; however, all 12 papers must be submitted to qualify. Participants will also receive course notes for each module.
