Why choose the EAS refresher at Lijmacademie?
The European Adhesive Specialist (EAS) Refresher is specifically designed for professionals who want to keep their diploma and knowledge up to date. While the EAS diploma is valid for life, many quality systems require demonstrable continued education. This two-day update ensures compliance with EN 17460 and NEN-EN ISO 21368 and expands your expertise with the latest insights in adhesive technology.
At Lijmacademie, this update is combined with deeper learning and real-world examples. This way, you not only remain formally certified but also stay technically sharp and prepared for current challenges in design, production, and quality assurance.
What will you learn during
our refresher?

You will revist the key topics from the EAS course , learn what has changed in standards and processes, and receive practical tips to immediately apply in your work.

What does the
course out?
The Refresher consists of two consecutive days at Lijmacademie in Gilze-Rijen. In addition to in-depth sessions, there’s time for discussion, hands-on exercises, and networking with fellow specialists.
