ASTM International's Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence have developed a fully online course, the Professional Certificate Course in Additive Manufacturing (PCCAM), which combines technical rigour with real-world insight
PCCAM takes place from October 20 to November 21, 2025 and is 100% online. To register for the course, visit here: ASTM Professional Certificate Course in AM 12th Edition – Virtual – AM CoE
The course comprises eight modules covering all the general concepts of the AM process chain, including design, feedstock, process qualification, safety, post-processing, and more. Two modules will be covered each week, allowing the entire course to be completed within a month.
Attendees of the course will gain core technical knowledge related to common AM practices and will earn a Professional AM Certificate, which will serve as the foundation and prerequisite for earning future, specialised role-based AM certificates through the ASTM AM Centre of Excellence.
The course is recommended for technicians, managers, engineers, and other individuals from government agencies, industry, and academia with any level of experience in AM.
Attendees who complete the course will earn a digital badge that can be added to their digital portfolios or shared on social and professional networks to showcase their career knowledge, skills, and abilities.
Course attendees wanting to receive 3.2 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) should complete a CEU application form.
The course features 15 experts across the field of AM, including Douglas Wells from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Centre, Michael Gorelik from the FAA, and David Bourrel from the University of Texas at Austin.
