Develop the skills needed to successfully deliver metalworking activities through a series of professional demonstrations and practical tasks.
Summary
Fabrication Skills is the second part of a modular course focusing on developing practical skills. These skills are required by teachers and technicians for the successful delivery of metalworking craft activities and aspects of the SQA practical metalworking course.
The course will allow technicians and teachers to gain confidence and skills in using equipment such as folding machines, guillotines and spot welders.
Each participant will complete at least one finished project and a range of demonstration pieces which will develop skills in marking out, cutting, shaping and forming sheet metal artefacts in a safe manner.Practical work will be supported by demonstrations and presentations covering the theory of correct tool selection, use and care.
There will opportunities for professional networking and participants will be offered a rich and vibrant programme that will allow them to enhance the teaching and learning within their institutions.
