Basic Training
About
Basic Training is the first training that all users should take. It grants you access to all manufacturing spaces and reassures staff that you are comfortable handling basic hand tools.
Basic training takes place in MTC and a session is run roughly every other week during the fall and winter semesters. The training takes 2 to 3 hours, during which users will listen to a brief safety presentation, then take part in a workshop where they will make a sheet metal box.
Basic Training is required before any other training can be taken.
Preparation
Brunsfield staff will provide necessary PPE for the training.
In order to take the training, you must sign-up via a link in the CEED Newsletter or via QR code. This will take you to the Simpli page where you can register for a particular session.
It is also the user's responsibility to create a Makerepo account before taking the training. This is done when taking GNG courses, or can be done manually at Makerepo.com. This will allow to sign-in/out of all the CEED spaces and is necessary to take all trainings.
There are no prerequisite trainings to take the basic training. There is an optional pre-lab that can be completed ahead of time virtuallyː https://labs.makerepo.com/basic-training/
