The training course "Manual Material Processing" covers the manual cutting manufacturing processes according to the technical training scheme for metalworking professions. The course covers the following skills in detail: filing, sawing, drilling, countersinking, reaming, chiselling, thread production and punching. The training materials also focus on testing, scribing and marking. Subsequent sections are dedicated to materials science, occupational health and safety and environmental protection.

In 26 practical exercises, the trainee can apply their knowledge on various project tasks, in each case with work information, parts lists and work planning forms, as well as check and evaluation sheets. The exercises are structured according to the guiding text method and follow the "complete process" model. The therefore promote in particular the use of communication skills and social competence. The exercises can be performed individually or as group work.

The complete course presented in lever arch files consists of the trainer manual, the trainees' course, the sample solutions, 107 colour sheets on CD and the textbooks.

Time required to complete the course: Approx. 14 weeks
