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).

Programme overviewThis series of programmes have been developed by CWA Training to meetthe demands of industry for an intensive yet practical programme of logicalfault finding techniques and practice.

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 overviewProgrammable Logic Controllers (PLCs) now play a vital role in all forms ofautomation and control. The range of equipment being controlled in thisway is becoming increasingly diverse, from micro PLCs controlling simpleautomatic doors, HVAC systems and agricultural grain handling plant tolarger modular PLCs controlling complex industrial processes. Activitieswhere an understanding of PLCs is required include:

• Control panel design and installation• Commissioning of plant and equipment• Maintenance activities• Fault diagnosis relation

Outline contentThese new courses are designed for engineers and electricians who needto understand this control technology. Included at various levels across thethree programmes:

Programme overviewLegislation demands that all electrical systems and equipment for use atwork be maintained. Those involved in maintenance activities are, underthe ‘Electricity at Work Regulations 1989’, classified as ‘duty holders’. TheRegulations require amongst other things that those engaged in workactivities where technical knowledge or experience necessary to preventdanger or injury have sufficient knowledge or experience or are undersupervision having regard to the nature of the work.

This 3-day short programme is designed to act as a refresher to, andupdate the existing skills and knowledge of production maintenanceengineers.

Outline content The following key areas with respect to electrical maintenance arecovered:

• The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989

• The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998

• BS 7671:2008 (2015). IET Wiring Regulations 17th Edition (IncludingAmd. No.3)

• Testing of portable (transportable, moveable) appliances, in line with IETCode of Practice for in-service inspection and testing of electricalequipment

• Testing of fixed installation wiring, in line with IET Guidance Note 3

Note: As this is a bespoke programme, only such areas necessary forindustrial electrical maintenance, as agreed between CWA and the client,will be covered. The following is illustrative of how the above content maybe covered.
