Hi all, I am looking for any courses I can attend for working with carbon fibre.
I have searched online with no luck, does anyone have any recommendations please.

Thanks for your time

Well you certainly live in the right area !
Couple of companies do courses, dark matter composites  but personally I dont rate them
You could do a lot worse than reading both of Keith noakes books ( bit dated now but still good)
Simon mcbeaths composites:a practical handbook
Or glassfibre handbook by r h warring
Get some materials
John burn, silamid,alchemy,east coast composites,vac innovations an shd
Have a play
Lots of stuff on YouTube but if you dont know the trouble is filtering the good from the bad
Depends how far you want to take it but you will learn more in a proper workshop ( an ways of doing things you hadnt even thought of) than you will with books and videos.

Thank you so much for your time and detailed answer, I would really like to have some experience at hands on learning as in the past for me that is the best way of picking things up.

The books you recommended are on my  Amazon book list and hope to be ordering in next couple of days, even if they do part of the job its a step closer to my end goal which is a result :-)

I totally agree with that YouTube and other internet based resources take some filtering to extract the good knowledge, I have watched what feels like hundreds of YouTube clips on working with composites and about 35% of the content is good info and the rest is just wannabe hit and hope rubbish.

I found this weekend course the other day and didn't know if anyone had any experience with the company https://marcfish.co.uk/introduction-to-carbon-fibre-and-composites/

Again thanks for your advice ;-)
