The practical content will be based around our training equipment in our engineering training centre in Kent. If training is to be on-site then practical work can be on the actual equipment that the candidates will work on or a range of similar training equipment.

A written test is part of the course and assesses knowledge gained during the course. A course completion certificate with the test mark will be issued on completion of the course.

The course details shown are based around working with static abrasive wheel machines i.e. surface grinders, bench grinders and pedestal grinders.

If you have a requirement to include handheld grinders please inform us before booking.

All our standard courses and bespoke courses may be delivered on-site at IPS or customer premises.

These courses can be used in conjunction with an NVQ programme to support and supplement the practical skills requirements.
