SAFT USA 2018

Thursday 11th October 2018 to Friday 26th October 2018

SATRA Technology will be holding the SAFT (SATRA Accredited Footwear Technologist) training course between the 11th-26th October at the Ayres Hotel & Suites, Costa Mesa, California.

SATRA’s SAFT training course is the most comprehensive and up-to-date of its kind and is an internationally recognised qualification within the footwear industry.

The information it contains is divided into six key areas of footwear manufacture: Lasts, fitting  and comfort; Materials and constructions; Laboratory testing procedures; Product design and lean manufacturing; Risk assessment and quality assurance and Industrial footwear.

Each module is led by a SATRA specialist and covered in detail over a two-day intensive training period, which includes comprehensive documentation to support the lecture and practical sessions.

Successful modern manufacturing processes rely on accurate and practical information, and the ability of staff members to understand and apply such information. In a global and competitive marketplace, knowledge and skills are increasingly important so SATRA has designed this training course for technologists involved in any aspect of footwear production. Once the course is complete, attendees have the opportunity to take optional written examinations to receive SATRA SAFT accreditation.

Places on the course are limited so please express your interest as early as possible to avoid disappointment. The cut off date for accepting bookings is 31st August 2018. Please see the attached document for further information, syllabus, course fees and booking details.
