Fabrication is the manufacture of items and structures from metals. You will be involved with making and building things from metal using methods such as cutting and shaping. Anything made from metal could be classed as a fabrication. Welding is a process that uses heat to join the metal parts of a fabrication together.
This qualification covers the advanced knowledge and understanding of the principles, methods and technology involved in fabrication and welding. The qualification shares units that cover subjects including computer aided design (CAD) techniques, manual metal-arc (MMA) welding, producing sheet metal fabrications, shipbuilding operations and advanced manufacture techniques involving computer numerical control (CNC). A range of advanced units can support learners looking to enter higher education.
This Apprenticeship would be suitable for anyone who is looking to work as a Plater/Fabricator, Sheet Metal Worker or Welder in the Engineering and Manufacturing sector.
During your Apprenticeship, you will specialise in one of the following subjects:
Manual Welding
Welding machine settings & operating
Sheet Metal Working (3mm or less)
Plate Working (3mm upward)
Structural Steelwork
Pipe and Tube Fabrication
Engineering is a thriving sector of UK industry; it offers a large range of employment and this is one area where there is no shortage of jobs. If engineering is of interest to you and you want to work but donƒ??t have the necessary qualifications, then taking an engineering Apprenticeship is the ideal route for you to follow.
