I learn a variety of fabrication techniques and skills including welding. I learn about materials sciences and other important engineering topics on my techsert days. I complete onefile to bolster my knowledge with fabrication and welding.
I can now weld, fabricate with a variety of metals and thicknesses, understand engineering drawings to a better standard.
I enjoy the practical aspects of the course, I would prefer less coursework however.
The structure had a bit of a rocky start with nobody knowing what was going on. It began to improve before Christmas but then there have been issues with lack of space in the workshop.
I believe the support has been adequate and if I was in need of support I think that I could ask for it and receive it.
I receive a good amount of support with the work. I get help when I ask for it.
I know more about the tasks I am supposed to do
I don’t think so
Yes
It has a good working environment
Be prepared for coursework, it’s not all practical hands on work.
