The course provides a comprehensive introduction to a wide range of machinery and workshop practices. It is extremely popular with school leavers who wish to combine a practical based training programme with sound theoretical knowledge. The course is designed to give students a broad understanding of the subject, with a view to progressing to one of our Level 3 Diploma courses / apprenticeships, or to start work in the Land-based sector.
The course is suitable for students who are practically orientated with most course related lessons being held in a workshop environment.
