Entry Badges
Start here to get access to the Engineering Makerspaces!
Introductory badges to give you further access to equipment. These can be done after you have been granted the Workshop Safety Badge. Practical Inductions for these badges will run every term based on demand.
These badges are granted on a per-need basis with training occuring individually with a supervising staff member as the need arises. Chat to staff if you are interested in using any of these machines.
