    Hello,

    Does anyone have information on the most highly regarded training facility for fiberglass and gelcoat repair? I am looking to enter this field as a new occupation and I'd be willing to travel abroad if necessary.

    Thanks. Any suggestions or ideas would be great.

    Try the Advanced Composites Manufacturing Centre, UK or ACMC for short. They do some very good training on a range of topics and have clients on training courses from all over the world. Trust me, I use to work there. Ask to speak to Julian. He doesn't most of teh courses.

    The link is http://www.tech.plymouth.ac.uk/sme/acmc/index.htm
