Abaris Training Instructors awarded NCATT Certification

The National Center for Aerospace and Transportation Technologies (NCATT) has awarded five Abaris trainers the prestigious certification for training excellence. They are (from left to right) Mike Meringolo, Dave Castellar, Corrie Volinkaty, Bill Kinard and Jay Carpenter.

Funding by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2001 led to the creation of NCATT “to promote integrity, safety and professionalism in the aerospace workforce.” Recognition by NCATT demonstrates that these trainers have “met or exceeded the standard set by the people who know it best, industry experts working in the field.”

Michael Hoke, President of Abaris Training stated, “I am proud of our instructors for receiving this acknowledgement of the credentials they bring to every class they teach. This award also recognizes the true value of the hands-on approach that has distinguished the Abaris Training method for the last 28 years.”

Abaris Training is recognized as the global leader in hands-on instruction for the advanced composites industries with 26 standard courses ranging from Design and Analysis to Composites Fabrication and Damage Repair. To date, Abaris has trained over 17,000 students from 63 countries.
