IOP: The Packaging Society, the UK’s leading association for packaging and packaging training, has launched a new brochure detailing the range of training courses it offers.

The Diploma in Packaging Technology remains the premier qualification for the packaging industry, providing degree-level understanding of packaging and packaging processes and preparing students to control packaging operations at any level.

The Certificate in Packaging is aimed at a wide range of people, and features a core, classroom-taught unit that provides fundamental packaging understanding, with the student’s choice of further studies delivered online. The certificate provides a detailed overview to enhance the careers of people in a variety of roles, for example technical staff, quality control, sales people, graphic designers, marketers or packaging buyers, as well as staff working full-time with packaging.

The brochure also outlines IOP’s range of short courses, and also its work with companies to create bespoke training programmes through a corporate partnering scheme.

The society is celebrating 60 years this year as the voice of the British packaging industry.
