To use the Make Workshop you will need to do some basic safety training. EVERYONE will need to do some basic safety training (Module 1.0 General Workshop Induction) which will give you access to the Make Workshop EXCEPT the Machine Shop.

You will be able to login to the portal using the following link Training Portal with your university credentials. (if you cannot login please email PrintAndMake@sheffield.ac.uk with your details and we will look into it) 

In order to access the Machine Shop, it is essential you complete online training - Module 1.0, Modules 2.1 - 2.5 Basic Machine Shop Induction (Parts 1 - 5).
Once you have completed all parts of the machine training you will then need to complete an in person practical session of around 45 minutes (within 1 week of completing online Machine Shop Induction Modules) to demonstrate understanding and competency on each machine.

The "In Person Practical Sessions" will be available for you to sign up yourself Tuesday to Thursday (mornings) most weeks. Please see the Print & Make Workshop opening announcements calander above.

Bookable inductions (In Person Practical Sessions) are made by using our booking site SimplyBookMe, Only book for yourself as you will get confirmation and the ability to cancel. Only use this if you miss the above sign up sessions. 

Bookings can be made up to a maximum of 4 days in advance. (This applies to both laser cutter bookings and in person inductions) For example, if you wish to book the Monday 9:30am slot it will not show as available before the previous Thursday morning at 9:30am
