This exciting Metal Work course introduces you to the world of metals, their properties, and how they are shaped, processed, and joined to create useful products in everyday life. You will explore concepts such as ferrous and non-ferrous metals, production of iron and steel, use of hand tools and machine tools, sheet metal work, and different methods of joining metals, helping you develop practical skills, safety awareness, and technical confidence in the workshop.

What You Will Learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

1. Identify and classify at least five examples of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and state their properties correctly during class activities.
2. Explain the process of producing iron and steel by outlining at least four key stages in a written or oral assessment.
3. Differentiate and select appropriate types of files for specific metal work tasks with at least 80% accuracy during practical demonstrations.
4. Demonstrate the safe use of sheet metal tools and machine tools by correctly performing at least two workshop operations under supervision.
5. Apply suitable methods of joining metals (such as soldering, welding, or mechanical fastening) to complete a simple project within a specified time frame and safety guidelines.
