This apprenticeship course is designed for people currently working as apprentices in the engineering fabrication trade. It ensures you gain a formal, recognised qualification needed for industry roles. Through classroom learning and work-based tasks, you will gain skills and knowledge to complement your on-the-job training.
You’ll learn to make and repair steel and other metal products and structures such as boilers and storage tanks, and develop industry-specific skills including:
- arc welding
- metal fabrication
- forming and shaping techniques
- forging and founding
- structural steel erection
- electroplating
- metal spinning and polishing
- sheet metal work
- mechanical and thermal cutting.
You'll learn broad engineering skills such as planning, measurement, marking out, computing and computer-aided drafting (CAD). This engineering course also teaches you occupational health and safety principles, and how to follow workplace safety regulations.
You will graduate with the skills, confidence and experience to work in metal engineering and manufacturing, and related industries.
