Description
This qualification is aimed at those who undertake work to produce fabricated products such as door and window frames and units, conservatories, and glazing systems used in curtain walling etc. Units in this qualification include the processing of materials, applying coatings and treatments and fabricating of frames by joining and assembly. It is not expected that candidates working in this area all do the same activities: the qualification is structured to endure that there is a high degree of flexibility in the qualifications, although there are common units in the mandatory section of the qualification.
The qualification allows achievement by those who primarily work in a manufacturing environment and those who visit sites to carry out fabrication activities or to apply surface coating spray finishes.
The standard covers the most important aspects of the job. This qualification is at Level 2 and should be taken by those who are fully trained to deal with routine assignments. Candidates should require minimum supervision in undertaking the job.
