For professionals interested in earning the AFS Certified Professional (AFSCP) Designation, all required courses are being offered in August. These include 20 hours of AFS education in three basic filtration courses: Introduction to Air/Gas (8 hours in 4 parts), Introduction to Filter Media (4 hours in 2 parts) and Introduction to Solid/Liquid Separation (8 hours in 4 parts).

The four parts of Introduction to Air/Gas Filtration will be offered on August 2, 4, 9 and 11, and will be taught by Dr. Thad Ptak. The course provides fundamental information on air filtration principles, filter media and filters, applications and testing. More information about each course and Dr. Ptak is available here. 

The AFS is presenting two two-hour short courses in December: “Designing Filter Media for Air Filtration” and “Air Filter Design Process,” both taught by air filtration expert Thad Ptak.

These courses are designed for people who are new to the filtration industry, either in technical, sales, or business functions.  They are also good courses for those who have been in the industry for a while to get a better understanding of the fundamentals of filter media and how they can be used for practical applications.
