Content
Hands-on shop experience is the basis on which skills are
developed in the program. This program is developed around the
individual needs of students and these needs will determine its
actual length. Students will require appropriate personal safety
clothing and footwear.
The program is designed to accommodate past experience, and
credit and/or advancement will be given to students who can
demonstrate learned skills plus theoretical knowledge. Levels are
completed in the order of C, B, and A. The course content is
organized into modules to ensure maximum flexibility for
individualized training. There are two types of modules in the
