You will also gain experience and practical knowledge in the use and maintenance of power tools along with learning to calculate quantities required for projects. Health and safety requirements are a key component of the programme.
On completion of this course you will be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge of lines and symbols, and drawing and sketching methods required for BCATS projects, establish job requirements and create sketches, and convert sketches to instrumental drawings for BCATS projects.
- Identify, describe, select, maintain, and use portable power tools for the construction of BCATS projects.
