My role as a fabricator is to take in engineering drawings and produce a product using a range of metalworking techniques taking into account information from the drawing itself
I have learnt a range of metal work techniques to fold, bend, shear and cut components. I have built on my communication skills and have learnt how to extract information from engineering drawings
I do really enjoy the programme even though it can get overwhelming in terms of workload and if practical work isn't going as well as I would like
It is well organised, sometimes workload is sent differently to the schedule however the structure if the programme is good
The support is good. There is check ins to see if we are doing ok
The training provider supports me in a big way, I am happy with their levels of support
It helps me massively because of the relaxed environment and tutors giving us the support.
Not that I am aware of
