Safety first
Nobody touches a tool before the induction.
Every learner completes a safety induction on day one and works under supervision throughout. Protective equipment is issued at the start of the course.
- Arc eye — why the visor goes down every single time
- Fume extraction and ventilation
- Fire watch, hot metal and where sparks travel
- Angle grinder discipline: guards, discs and stance
- Full PPE is mandatory for this course, no exceptions
What you go home with
Learners who complete the course and meet the attendance requirement receive an EILA certificate of completion, signed by the principal. Each certificate carries a QR code, so a school, college or employer can verify it instantly.
