Advised Equipment

Apprentices who do not have their own equipment will need to share workshop equipment, where available. The COVID-19 sanitisation protocols require that every piece of shared equipment is cleaned by the Apprentices using it, before and after use. This will inevitably lead to delays in accessing tools.

Advised equipment for the trades are as follows:
