You work through several practical models in three units - Bench Skills, Machine Processes, and Fabrication and Thermal Joining.
National 4 pupils will need to complete each unit model to National 4 standard as well as some paperwork, then the final Added Value Unit model.
National 5 pupils will have an exam that makes up 30% of your final grade that focuses on materials, tools and machines, and safety in the workshop. The remaining 70% is your Course Assessment model which combines skills from all three units to produce a product set by the SQA.
