One week with us and then a period back at work (4 weeks or less) to gather work based evidence and then a further week back at our Penybont training centre
At 1/2 a point per course the training is worth up to 4 points towards your IPAF CAP certification. The Level 2 PM is worth a further 2 points and the Level 3 Thorough Examination is worth 4 points.
Once this training is complete you will also need proof of Manufacturer led training and industry experience before booking onto your CAP course with an accredited provider.
This programme is also ideal for test and run / PDI Technicians as well as self-taught experienced engineers who missed out on formal apprenticeships and would benefit from formal qualifications whether they are progressing to IPAF CAP status or not.
Safety boots or shoes must be worn.
Normal workwear is also recommended as the majority of the course is hands-on.
If you use prescription glasses or lenses please ensure you have them available for the training.
Great news! 63% of technicians and mechanics based on a survey of Plant Mechanic college attendees were found to be dyslexic learners. Our training is based around supporting dyslexic learners and those who have other learning differences.
Whether you have been diagnosed or not, we will help you to get the best result you can get. We do not use formal exams but use practical assessments throughout the process.
Just get in touch with us if you would like to talk about any specific support you may benefit from, we will do everything we can to support you.
We are based in the midlands and rather than travelling the day before we start courses at lunchtime (12.30). This allows our attendees to set off from home at normal worktime and attend training that day even if they are based 4 hours away from our centre.
Finish times are the same, so you arrive, have lunch, start training and on the last day of your attendance you can have lunch and still be home for a reasonable time.
For attendees that are local to us, they can still pop into work first before heading over.
Yes! For those doing the 12.30 starts theres a sandwich on arrival, hot evening meal and then a hot buffet breakfast the next day. If you are leaving that day you also get a packed lunch to take with you.
Hungry learners are bad news and rather than the usual terrible training buffet of limp sandwiches and luke warm items including salad that 97.6% of attendees can't stand, you will get asked what you would like to eat too… and we cater for all dietary requirements
