What Our Students Say

“When I first came I didn’t know anybody at the college but because it’s people you’re surrounded by and people with similar interests to you, you do make friends quickly and you make really close friendships with people because you’re listening to the same things and you’re going through the same things, and you can help each other as well.”

Eve

I think I’ve really enjoyed the fact that I’ve had to make new friendships, especially because I didn’t know anyone coming in – but after the first few weeks I think I’ve adapted to it really well.

Dan

“Because I’ve got autism and I’d sometimes have trouble understanding things – because I need stuff breaking down into detail and explaining to me in a perfect way, in a much more understanding way, I have tutors that understand me a bit more.”

Course Information

Introduction

Metal Fabricators create or repair structures and components from metal, working on projects like bridges, ships, machinery, and enclosures using steel joists, plates, and sheet metal.

Overview

Metal Fabricators work across sectors like engineering, construction, and the maritime sector, creating or repairing metal structures such as bridges, ships, oilrigs, and machinery parts. They use materials like steel, aluminium, and titanium, working with varying thicknesses and component sizes – from handheld parts to large structures. Fabricators operate in factories or on-site, either independently or in teams. They interpret technical specifications, ensure quality and accuracy, and follow strict health, safety, and environmental regulations. Daily interaction includes collaborating with supervisors, welders, designers, and other technical staff involved in the manufacturing, maintenance, and repair process.

Entry requirements

The employer will agree entry requirements for these apprenticeships and these will depend on the role that they are advertising.
