This fully accredited practical training course covers the safe use of sand casting with non-ferrous metals, in line with The Design & Technology Association’s guided hours for Initial Training:

• Casting Non-Ferrous Metals (4-6 hours)

Note: When Refresher Training is required, D&TA’s guided hours for Casting Non-Ferrous Metals can be reduced to 3-4 hours.

A typical day runs from 08:30-16:00, including starter and plenary tasks.

Wherever possible, we recommend hosting the training at your own school or college, using your own equipment – this ensures the session is highly relevant to your department.

As such equipment needs clear guidance for safe use, the S3HS course is a must-have for anyone wishing to demonstrate or use the sand casting process in a school environment. Delegates will acquire H&S accreditation through a ‘hands-on’ approach, which includes the manufacture of an aluminium casting.

During the training your casting facilities are discussed in depth as part of a ‘mini audit’ and a range of maintenance activities are also carried out, as required.

After the session, delegates receive a digital download pack containing current legislation, guidance materials and a range of editable H&S resources.

All activities meet current D&T Association Training Standards.

This course is suitable for teachers, technicians and other staff who are required to use this equipment.
