How was the program developed?

Dr. Joseph B. Kushner recognized in the late 1930's that there was a need for formal, organized training in the principles of electroplating. In 1947 Dr. Kushner was first able to convert this need into a written, well-organized, home study program. This first home study training program (the first of its kind in the world) was known as Electroplating Know How. The entire program was completely rewritten in the late 1970's and was renamed Electroplating Know How II. Dr. Arthur Kushner, the founder's son, became the director of the Kushner Electroplating School in 1978. In 2008, Dr. Arthur Kushner decided to retire and passed on the Kushner training legacy to Technic Inc. William Sepp, an experienced veteran in the electroplating industry for over 30 years is now the program's Director.
