Though so many of today’s industrial manufacturing lines rely heavily on computer controlled electrical and electronic systems to operate, there is still a high need for basic machine tool skills to be able to carry out manufacturing processes effectively. These skills and knowledge also underpin the more advanced techniques used in operating and setting CNC type machines. This five-day Vertical Milling Machine training course gives delegates the skills and knowledge they need to safely operate a vertical milling machine to produce engineering products.

This three-day introduction to hydraulics course is designed to give instruction and practice of components, circuit construction and fault finding techniques for hydraulics. Delegates will develop a practical knowledge of component identification, circuit design, function and systematic hydraulic fault finding techniques. This course is aimed at maintenance personnel, as well as individuals required to work with hydraulics.

This course has been designed to meet the practical skills approved by the British Standards Institute and is ideal for anyone who has already achieved the relevant practical skills or appropriate experience to undertake MMA welding tasks competently and safely to the BS 4872 standard.

This three-day introduction to troubleshooting and fault diagnostics for programmable logic controllers (PLCs) will show delegates learn how to undertake routine diagnostics to enable re-programming. This course is aimed at engineers and electricians already involved in the maintenance or management of industrial or mobile PLC systems. It covers how to identify and prevent causes of PLC failure, as well as how to implement safe working practices, such as the FCR (fault cause remedy) approach.

Our short online course is filled with lots of hints, tips and advice for developing presentation skills.

This hands-on five-day course combines on-machine practical exercises and instruction with classroom sessions to enable delegates to safely set and operate a centre lathe. This training programme is suitable for engineers of all levels. The content of this course can be used to support NVQ programmes.

This five-day Surface Grinding training course gives delegates the skills and knowledge they need safely to operate a Surface Grinder to produce a variety of highly accurate ground surfaces on engineering products.
