To work independently at Benchspace you must be appropriately trained to use our workshops and equipment safely.
You’ll find the equipment we have to offer on our Workshop page.
We offer course training in each of the disciplines our workshops support via our Project and Skills courses.
These are open to the public and are a gateway to accessing our facilities, as they allow you to gain skills and experience to a suitable level to be able to work safely and gain Unsupervised Use status.
We recognise qualifications from some Further Education & Third Level courses. You should have substantial experience of our equipment and have fully developed skills in your discipline.
In this case you may only need to complete our Skills Assessment Survey and Safety Induction to obtain Unsupervised Use status.
If this applies to you, click below to see how to Get Started.
In some cases we may recognise prior professional experience in place of a training qualification.
Contact us if you would like us to review your experience with a view to accessing our facilities.
