additional
notes & course availability
All materials to cover the course will be provided, however, students are welcome to bring along their own projects if required (within reason) to work on at times within the course. Whilst targeted at those who have already done one or more of the Axminster courses it is also open to anyone who has basic turning and milling skills. It is intended to improve the skill levels rather than parallel the other Axminster Engineering Courses.
There is no upper age limit for students, however the minimum age is 14 years old and anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the course and must not be left unattended during class hours.
