What Students Say

Really good to begin

Jorge Valcárcel Bizarro

It's a good course to obtain relevant information about composites having some prior knowledge already. I hope there will be a more advanced second part soon.

Amazing Course!

Marcelo Webster

A very well structured course which is suitable for people with different levels of knowledge about composite materials. It perfectly explores Materials, Manufacturing, and Design, with a ton of examples and tasks that improve the students learning process. The team at The Native Lab is also very feedback-focused and assisted me with great support during the course. I thoroughly recommend this course for anyone who is looking to dive into the composites world!

Thanks for the Basics! - one worry less as Chassis Team Leader

Felix Brüggemann

With this courses I can bring my team colleagues to a level in the composites field, at which I can handover the team leadership with good conscience.
