Performing Engineering Operations (PEO) SVQ and NC Engineering
You have to choose one from the following specialisms (please specify on application):
- Fabrication and Welding
- Mechanical and Machining
- Pipefitting and Welding
This pre-apprenticeship programme gives candidates specialist training in a range of engineering skills. Skills covered are: welding, fabrication, pipefitting and machining. The course is mainly practical but includes some related theory. This course also forms the first part of a Modern Apprenticeship.
This one year full-ime course offers the opportunity to specialise in one of the following engineering disciplines:
MANUFACTURE/PRODUCTION - provides the opportunity for people to train to work on milling machines, lathes, grinding & boring machines and a range of CNC (computer numerical control) machines.
FABRICATION AND WELDING - Typical subjects include: TIG (tungsten inert gas welding), Stick (manual metal arc welding), MIG (metal inert gas welding), spot welding (car body welding), pipefitting, plating & general fabrication, testing: destructive and non-destructive (ultrasonic, dye penetrant, MPI (magnetic particle inspection), use of rolling, flanging and cutting machinery.
WELDING AND PIPEFITTING – typical subjects include: pipe forming and joining in a range of materials, system design and testing, welding technology, welding procedures, specification and testing.
