About the Course
This double induction introduces you to the wood workshop and shows you how to safely use its machinery and equipment. This induction will teach you the basic safe use of our machines, but will not teach you woodworking techniques.
Level 1 is our mandatory induction that must be completed before using the wood workshop.
Level 2 covers the safe use of the table saw, planer, and thicknesser. This is required if you wish to use any of these machines.
