Developed in 1998 with guidance from the International Fastener Institute, the CFS advanced technical training program is the most noteworthy measurement of technical aptitude for fastener professionals. With more than 1,400 alumni of the CFS program, the Fastener Training Institute has helped professionals and businesses nationwide advance the fastener and manufacturing industries by improving safety and championing professional development.
Wanting to further his education on the technical side of fastener related products, Lindsly-Roach participated in the CFS program. To receive the designation, participants must complete seven full-day training sessions or a weeklong intensive Fastener Training Week program (offered throughout the year) and pass a final exam. Classes feature topics such as: fastener specifications/terminology, dimensional/material specifications, the bolted joint, quality assurance and testing. Furthermore, the intensive training also includes plant tours.
Between December 4-8, 2023, Lindsly-Roach participated in the Fastener Training Week. He took the CFS test mid-December. Upon passing, Lindsly-Roach received the CFS title/plaque.
“This certification helps me be a more complete technical resource to our team at E-Z LOK on a variety of fastener related topics," he said. It was also a great opportunity to network with like-minded individuals and companies in the fastener industry.”
