PMA Adds Press Brake Operation Courses to METALFORM EDU



The Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) has added additional courses to its online training platform, METALFORM EDU, designed to train press brake operators in the metalforming industry.

Subject matter experts partnered with PMA to review its original press brake training materials that were developed in 1989 and to update the content to reflect today's modern practices. The METALFORM EDU Press Brake Operation module contains 12 courses, with topics covering tooling, axes, gauging, safeguarding, proper operation, indicators of improper operation, measuring devices and more.

Connie King, Workforce Development Director, said, "PMA and our educational foundation's investment in developing new training modules for METALFORM EDU reinforces our commitment to helping our members and industry train a high-caliber workforce. We look forward to continuing to expand the METALFORM EDU library with additional modules for key industry jobs and skill sets."

Industry-specific courses on the topics of die protection-sensors and advanced press operations are also available.
