Engineering bench skills for probationer teachers NS800 / A19
Summary
Engineering Bench Skills is the first part of modular course programme which focuses on developing key practical skills. Teachers and technicians will find these skills useful for the successful delivery of metalworking craft activities and aspects of the SQA practical metalworking course.
The 2 day course will involve using a range of basic metalwork hand tools and equipment. It is ideally suited to individuals with limited metal working experience or those wishing to refresh their knowledge.
The course is delivered through delegates participating in a range of practical tasks to build confidence and skill level. Each delegate will complete at least one project and a range of demonstration pieces.
Practical work will be supported by demonstrations from professionals and key presentations will cover theory of correct tool selection, use and care.
There will opportunities for professional networking and participants will be offered a rich and vibrant programme that will allow them to enhance the teaching and learning within their institutions.
