Hands-on, small group training built for teachers who want real experience with workshop machinery.

You’ll learn core lathe operations including facing off, parallel turning, taper turning, parting off, knurling and thread cutting (time permitting), along with basic milling techniques used in industry.

This course is delivered by qualified tradespeople who use these machines every day, so you’re learning the way it’s actually done on the job, not just in theory.

Each participant will complete a machined meat mallet, applying the skills learned to produce a practical project you can take back and run with your students.

Why Undertake This Course?

If you’re not fully confident on the machines, this course fixes that.

You’ll get hands-on time in a controlled environment, with guidance from people who have done this work for years.

• Build confidence using lathes and workshop equipment
• Learn how machining is actually done in industry
• Pick up skills you can take straight into the classroom
• Understand how to safely run machining activities with students

Hands-on, small group training focused on the fundamentals of MIG and Stick welding.

You’ll learn how to correctly set up and maintain welding equipment, then put it into practice across a range of materials, thicknesses and welding positions. The course covers core weld types including butt welds, lap welds and fillet welds, giving you a solid foundation you can take straight into the workshop.

Delivered by qualified tradespeople who use these processes every day, this course shows you how welding is actually done on the job, not just in theory.

You’ll also work with common workshop equipment including cold cut saws, pedestal drills and grinders as part of the training.
