This course includes project driven assignments focused on practical and theoretical components for the safe and proper use of: machine tools such as lathe, horizontal and vertical mills, Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC). Qualifications gained are NVQ2 performing engineering operations Level 2 intermediate certificate in engineering and technology Functional skills at level 1 and 2. A precision machining apprentice will learn basic machining and hand fitting. This type of work will also include marking out work pieces accurately using a range of equipment. As a part of their training programme a precision machining apprentice will manufacture a set of tools; this will include items such as an engineer’s square, toolmakers vice, tap wrench and many more. The apprentices will attend a variety of lectures to provide them with basic underpinning knowledge and understanding of the tools, materials, manufacturing equipment and processes they will be using and following throughout their career. Apprentices will work on a variety of machines within the academy, to include: Centre Lathes Vertical and horizontal milling machines Surface grinders Pillar drills Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) lathes Once on site the apprentices will then progress by completing additional advanced machining tasks, which involve more complex work holding and machining skills. Precision machinists will also be placed for a short time in the drawing office to learn the basics of a programme called UniGraphics, and complete various engineering drawings to required standards.
Name: Precision Machining Apprenticeship at Level 2 (EAL) Qualification title: NVQ in Performing Engineering Operations Qualification type: Assessment Assessment is by a variety of methods but primarily as on the job assessment of competence. During the academy phase of training assessment of practical skills via work produced in our workshops; on-site competence assessment of complex 'real' work is undertaken. Examinations and assignments are used for theory qualifications. Awarding EMTA Awards Ltd Created 20100518 08:32:48 Updated 20150115 08:29:26
