Computer Aided Design (CAD) is a computer based application built to help

design buildings, products, or public spaces, without having to draw up plans

by hand. Our range of courses are based around the industry leading

AutoCAD software as used by business and industry. This programme of

courses has been updated and revised to take account of changes to the

application software and qualification structure, with all four courses in the

programme now based on AutoCAD 2012. CAD 1 is certificated by CWA

Training, the award for courses CAD 2, CAD 3 and CAD 4 are vocational

qualifications in Computer Aided Design. They have been designed by City &

Guilds to meet the needs for a modern, up-to-date and flexible qualification in

this important field. The courses are designed to cater for a wide range of

commercial and industrial applications and would be particularly useful for

architects, engineers and designers from all fields of business. Some typical

applications include drafting and design of:

• Buildings and building components

• Layout of services

• Mechanical components and assemblies

• Electrical systems / diagrams

• Hydraulic / pneumatic systems

• Furniture

The courses range from introductory level up to level 3 (3D).

• An introduction to AutoCAD 2012 - CWA Certificated (CAD 1)

Programme overviewCity & Guilds 2377-22/32 (Combined Management, Inspection & Testing)is the benchmark qualification for anyone who intends to carry out the in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment, also known asPortable Appliance Testing. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 state“as may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems shall be maintained soas to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, such danger”.

This updated City & Guilds 2377-22/32 course will train personnel thatare responsible for the management and scheduling of PAT testing, as wellas the practical application of portable appliance tests, which includes visualinspections and instrument tests. This course is based on the updatedCode of Practice for the In-service Inspection & Testing of ElectricalEquipment (IET 4th Edition).

Outline contentThis programme covers the following topic areas:

• The law and the scope of the legislation • Training for competence • Electrical equipment, instruments • In-service inspection and testing, inspection and recording • Combined inspection and testing • Testing IT equipment • Documentation and labelling

PrerequisitesFor the benefit of learners City & Guilds state:

‘It is expected that candidates attempting either qualification should befamiliar with electrical systems and hazards of electricity in order tosatisfactorily complete this programme.’

They are aimed at maintenance personnel who are required to diagnoseand repair electrical faults on modern complex equipment under productionpressures.

The aim of these programmes is to promote safe logical proven techniquesof fault finding and hence reduce unnecessary plant downtime. Programmes2 and 3 utilise our ‘mini factory, granular production area which contains arange of process and packaging equipment. This gives delegates the chanceto improve diagnostic skills on ‘real’ industry standard equipment.The course is of a practical nature with only essential related theory beingincluded.

Outline contentThe course includes a wide range of topics all being dealt with in a ‘hands-on’ way with safety as an underlying theme. Included at various levels acrossthe three programmes:

• Electrical safety • HSE requirements• Isolation procedures• Proven techniques of logical fault finding• Use of electrical drawings as an aid to fault diagnosis• Typical hardware faults - control equipment, sensors, actuators• Diagnostic techniques on high speed PLC controlled equipment• Using laptops to interrogate and diagnose problems with control software• Development and use of fault finding aids• Improvement of practical skills

PrerequisitesDelegates wishing to attend these programmes should discuss their existinglevel of experience and exposure to industrial electrical fault finding toensure that the correct programme level is selected.

Programme overviewAll mechanical motion is potentially hazardous, personnel working within machineshops or areas where they are exposed to machinery or equipment hazards mustbe aware of the potential for accidents. Employees using machines and powertools are faced with a potential risk of injury due to fast moving parts. These riskscan be reduced by ensuring that employees are suitably trained and understandsafe operating procedures for machines and power tools.

This short programme is designed for production maintenance and multi-skilledengineers, who are occasionally required to use machine shop equipment.

Outline contentOutlined below is the content for a one day, two module programme coveringworkshop hazards and safety precautions to be applied when working with a rangeof machine shop equipment whilst also providing a measure of individual machiningand machine shop competence. Other content and durations can be arranged.

Module 1• Workshop hazards• Machining fundamentals• Material selection and preparation - verbal questioning • Introduction to vertical mill, machine controls and safe working practices

Module 2• Introduction to practical assessment task• Practical assessment - machining exercise on a vertical mill, to meet stated

dimensional accuracy• Written assessment covering full range of client applicable workshop equipment• Feedback, review and evaluation

Required documentation All course notes and supporting documentation are supplied for this programme.

Course assessment A test on the theory content of the programme, is by questions requiring shortwritten response answers. Candidates will also be required to produce a test piecethat must be within stated tolerances.

Duration and venueThese courses are run at CWA King’s Lynn. Duration is dependent upon content,but typically range from 1 - 5 days.
