Benchwork
The benchwork course is designed for any candidates moving into mechanical maintenance. Training is aimed at individuals who have little or no bench fitting or machine tool experience.
Candidates will be shown how to use a range of hand tools and a pedestal drill and, on completion, will be expected to cut, shape and drill a component accurately and safely.
Also will be shown how to remove broken studs and fasteners from a component and provide a suitable replacement. This course may be used as a starting point for the remaining mechanical courses if required.
The course will focus on how to use a bench and/or pedestal drill safely. Candidates will also be shown how to use a selection of hand tools safely so that a selection of materials can be cut and sized accurately.
