  1. Thanks for your reply, but i am a structural steel fabricator, and we do not do this cone development this is I think a job for sheet metal, are this sheet metal and a metal fabricator the same field for assessment???

     

    Thanks...

     

     

    The same for me I am not a sheet metal fabricator but it I had to describe how to do it on one of the papers, I cannot remember which one. With a little reading up it is not difficult.

  2. I had to make a paper tray from sheet steel. Some theory, first and third angle drawings, health and safety, demonstrate some measuring and marking out. Was asked questions as you worked to demonstrate understanding. No welding, but option to do some if you wanted. Started about 8:15am, first hour brief, health and safety etc. (optional) Break for lunch, (up to an hour) tidy up and completed for about 5pm.

     

    Bloody hell you were there for a long time, I was back up the M1 before lunch, the welders were still there when I left, the paper tray was bit of a joke TBH.

    Was it the Ozzy blokes who took yours at the college down London area?

  3. ukchris sir, Please give me some tips on metal fabricator assessment because I'll be going to this assessment after my ILETS, I did some assessment before at Tesda Philippines but in the field of welding not as a fabricator so I don't have any knowledge on how they will assess my skill as metal fabricator.. Are they going to assess me in actual? I'm a structural steel fabricator here in UAE now and my fear is that if they incorporate sheet metal in the assessment..Thanks

     

    Yes they will assess you in sheet metal, you need to know how to work out cone development etc this is paper based. Then you will use workshop tools etc to make something simple form sheet metal. Also I had to do a MIG weld test, a MMA test and for additional points I also did TIG. You will also need to show you can use burning tackle to cut out a circle from a piece of plate steel.

    If you can do you job you will have no problem but I would not go for metal fabricator if you are only a welder.

  4. I did the Metal Fabricator Heavy Fabrication practical and it covered geometry and sheet metal work in the small test papers we did and we also did some simple sheet work, folding etc, I think the VETASSES website gave a description of what is expected in the interview. But not personally doing sheet metal I am unsure but if you wanted to do the metal fabricator t sounds like you could pass that as it was very easy.

  5. Ive been talking to Petair by email over the last couple of days and they do not fill me with any confidence TBH, in 4 separate emails I asked about my dog being collected and only when I asked the last time I was told "Oh sorry I didn't see that in your email" I have also stated my situation and not once has it been acknowledged or my questions answered.

     

    Sorry I only asked twice about collecting my pet, there were 4 emails exchanged.
