6. Fabrication Processes – Sheet Metal
Verified
Key Learning Objectives:
- This fabrication unit embraces all aspects in the production of assemblies in materials less than 3 mm in thickness. Health and Safety practice is an important aspect of this unit and as such should be prioritised when the learner is using the range of tools and equipment needed to complete the practical elements.In order to produce fabrications to a specified tolerance, the learner will be expected to have the ability to read engineering drawings, mark out materials using a range of equipment
- select and use hand tools appropriate to the task being covered and apply safe working practices when working on various types of cutting, forming and joining applications.
2
Engineering Drawing Using Manual and CAD Techniques
Verified
Key Learning Objectives:
- By following this unit, learners will be able to produce drawings using both manual methods and computer-aided design (CAD) techniques. Accuracy and presentation are key elements in this unit.

5
Manual Metal-Arc Welding – Low Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminium
Verified
Key Learning Objectives:
- The unit covers the equipment and consumables required for manual metal-arc (MMA) welding and the techniques used to produce welds that meet the quality standard required. Practical weld samples covering butt and fillet welds must be welded in the flat (PA) or horizontal vertical (PB) welding positions. These are rigorously tested to show that the completed welds are structurally sound. Welding inspection techniques are also covered to give the learner the information and skills to carry out weld inspection.Health and safety is an integral part of this unit as learners need to be aware of the dangers of fires and the importance of wearing correct PPE.
6
Materials, Science and Calculations for Fabrication and Welding Practice
Verified
Key Learning Objectives:
- Learners will understand differences in various metals, the way in which they are identified and the properties each have which will allow them to be used for certain applications and how materials are supplied to industry in different forms, sizes and profiles. Introductions to the application and use of welding terms and symbols are covered relating to fillet and butt welded joints. Simple applications of science are covered to enable the learner to understand how materials behave during the application of heat. This unit also covers the basic application of mathematics related to welding and fabrication activities and at a level that the learner should be able to understand and use confidently. This unit is assessed by a 30 question externally set MCQ (multiple choice question) examination.
7
Metal-Arc Gas Shielded Welding – Low Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminium
Verified
Key Learning Objectives:
- The unit covers the equipment and consumables required for metal-arc gas shielded (MAGS) welding and the techniques used to produce welds that meet the quality standard required. Practical weld samples covering butt and fillet welds must be welded in the flat (PA) or horizontal vertical (PB) welding positions. These are rigorously tested to show that the completed welds are structurally sound. Welding inspection techniques are also covered to give the learner the information and skills to carry out weld inspection.Health and safety is an integral part of this unit covering MAGS welding activities. Learners need to be aware of the dangers of fires and the need to wear correct PPE.
8
Tungsten-Arc Gas Shielded Welding – Low Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminium
Verified
Key Learning Objectives:
- The unit covers the equipment and consumables required for tungsten-arc gas shielded (TAGS) welding and the techniques used to produce welds that meet the quality standard required. Practical weld samples covering butt and fillet welds must be welded in the flat (PA) or horizontal vertical (PB) welding positions. These are rigorously tested to show that the completed welds are structurally sound. Welding inspection techniques are also covered to give the learner the information and skills to carry out weld inspection.Health and safety is an integral part of this unit covering TAGS welding activities. Learners need to be aware of the dangers of fires and the need to wear correct PPE.
