The ARM Training Academy has been a valuable resource for members of the Association of Rotational Molders for over two years. Designed to enhance skills and safety in the rotational molding industry, the academy offers five certificate programs: Operator Training, Health and Safety, Health and Safety en Español, Wall Thickness Control, and Rotomolding Crosslink.
Since its launch, these programs have provided members with in-depth training through a series of videos and quizzes, all available at no cost to everyone at your company when you join ARM. Each program allows participants to track their progress and earn certificates of completion, ensuring both practical knowledge and recognized achievement.
The true testament to the academy’s value comes from the feedback of our members who have integrated these training programs into their daily operations. Here’s what they have to say:
Testimonials:
“We are extremely grateful for the training resources, and we believe that the content has already made a positive impact on the success of our molders. Completion of the operator training program is mandatory for all new hires joining the molding department. Starting next month, we will be including the Health and Safety training course as a requirement for all senior operators, in addition to their OSHA 10 certification.
“The training programs available on the ARM website offer significant value to our rotational molding department employees here at API. These programs not only serve as an introduction to rotational molding but also provide comprehensive material geared towards mastering this craft. The Operator Training Program, in particular, equips our team with extensive knowledge on processes, materials, equipment handling, and safety procedures, all of which have contributed to the success of producing high-quality outputs. By upholding industry best practices, our API molders continue to refine their expertise through training and development, thus becoming valuable contributors to the future of rotational molding.”

“The course was excellent; it helped us revisit the most important and fundamental aspects of rotational molding. It also enabled us to solve problems quickly and efficiently. I’m grateful for the information shared, which will benefit us both now and in the future.”

“Within our platform of roto sites, we have a lot of new teammates and new leaders within our plants that we had enroll in the ARM Academy training and found it to be very valuable! One of my new plant managers that came from the blow molding industry completed the training module, and within a few weeks, he was showing me root causes for scrap related to fundamentals with venting that he learned through the ARM Academy training! Another one of our new supervisors, who came from an injection background, was talking with me about how he now understands the rotation cycles after going through the ARM Academy training. Before that, he was struggling with visualizing the material flow. We sat down and talked about reversing rotation, and away he went to apply it and solved a flow problem around a difficult-to-fill molded-in insert feature. The ARM Academy training works!”

“Taking the ARM accreditation was a very satisfying experience for me. It helped me reaffirm my knowledge of rotational molding, and I also found it very interesting to learn new concepts, topics, and situations that I was previously unaware of. This will help me broaden my experience with practical tips that I can apply in my daily work to meet objectives like reducing scrap and ensuring all necessary precautions are taken.”
— Juan Pedro García Alcántar, Operadora MPK
