RAPRA Technology - Europe's leading independent plastics and rubber specialist organisation.

G&A Moulding Technology Ltd - do not believe in training for training's sake but for productivity improvements through more effective use of available production running hours, better quality parts and cycle time reduction. They are an approved NVQ III provider and City & Guilds End Test Centre. In addition to their standard courses they offer tailor-made courses covering basic concepts to advanced processing.

Polymer Training Ltd - is a major international resource centre for the polymer industry, specialising in training, further education and providing support for product design, materials selection, company and product incubation, tool trialling and prototyping.

The Polymer IRC - brings skills and resources in macromolecular science and technology from leading academic institutions together. It facilitates the building of effective multidisciplinary teams on the basis of scientific and technological requirements, rather than on the basis of geographical location. Core-science and industrial collaboration are of equal importance.

The Sheffield Polymer Centre - draws its staff from a number of schools and departments at the University of Sheffield, which is a world-class centre for research across an unusually wide range of subjects in the sciences, engineering, medicine, social sciences and humanities. This diversity of academic backgrounds and approaches amongst our members brings a unique blend of talents.

London Metropolitan University - The Centre's well established series of highly regarded Short Courses play a strong role in keeping the Polymer industry (and the interested public) up to date with the latest processes and design developments. A number of these courses also form the basis for the distance learning MSc Manufacture and Design for Polymer Products developed in conjunction with the Open University.

Wolverhampton University/Rapra Technology - The University's School of Engineering and the Built Environment (SEBE) is in co-operation with international independent polymer consultancy and Polymer Cluster partner Rapra Technology to provide a Postgraduate Certificate in Polymer Engineering.
