There are many stages to processing materials into the desired product. Each material has its own unique properties which will greatly influence how it must be heated, handled, and shaped. Those responsible for working through this process must be highly competent with all the materials and must understand ideal handling techniques and what machines and tools would be most suitable to use to reach the desired outcome.
There must also be a great understanding of the welding process. Welding is the process of joining materials together in a secure way. Different materials can be attached to one another through this method, and those responsible must understand each stage of the process to complete it successfully.
To ensure the participants develop a full understanding of the taught content, they will partake in a variety of different learning methods and exercises including presentations, demonstrations, individual and group activities. This combination of activities will allow the participants full opportunities to process the knowledge and practise any relevant practical skills.
