About this programme
This comprehensive 10-day hands-on training course is designed to equip participants with the essential knowledge and practical skills in aluminium fabrication. It covers the fundamental properties of aluminium, global profile standards (from Germany, India, China, and other leading producers), fabrication techniques, safety procedures, blueprint interpretation, and quality assurance. Through a combination of theory, demonstrations, and workshop-based exercises, participants will gain the competence needed to apply aluminium fabrication processes in construction, manufacturing, and product design.
The course places special emphasis on understanding international aluminium profile systems, practical fabrication methods, and real-world application through a capstone project involving the fabrication of a window or sliding door unit.
Duration:
10 days
