This fully accredited practical training course covers the safe use of the centre lathe and/or CNC lathe for machining metals, in line with The Design & Technology Association’s guided hours for Initial Training:

• Centre Lathe / CNC Lathe (4-6 hours)

Note 1: When Refresher Training is required, D&TA’s guided hours for the centre lathe and/or CNC lathe can be reduced to 3-4 hours.

The course will enable delegates to acquire H&S accreditation certification through a ‘hands on’ approach using the machinery to complete a series of tasks including Facing Off, Turning Down, Taper Turning, Drilling, Knurling and Parting Off.

A typical day runs from 08:30-16:00 including the starter and plenary tasks, and it is also preferable that this training takes place at your own school/college (using your own specific machines and equipment) where possible.

In addition to the ‘hands on’ requirements of the training, your machine is discussed in depth when undertaking a ‘mini audit’ and a range of maintenance activities are also carried out, as required.

Following the session delegates will receive a digital download pack which includes current legislation, guidance materials and a range of editable H&S resources.

All the activities conform to the current D&T Association Training Standards.
