Injection Moulding Integrated Programme Level 2 (BTEC/NVQ)

Pre-requisites

Candidates should have been employed within an injection moulding environment for a period of no less than 3 months and have some knowledge and experience of the process requirements. As this is an LSC Funded programme, candidates must also meet the eligibility criteria for Train to Gain programmes.

Aim of the course

This course is designed to introduce candidates to the fundamental principles associated with running an injection moulding machine and is set at the NVQ Level 2 standard of performance. The course comprises an integrated programme of both theory and practical application sessions providing a good understanding of the injection moulding process, and involves both on-course and in-company assessment of associated working knowledge and practices to NVQ Level 2 Standard.

Toolroom and Maintenance personnel

Objectives of the course

On completion of the course the delegates will be able to:

Identify process hazards, state safety requirements and apply safe working practices

Start-up and shut-down an injection moulding machine safely and efficiently

Detail the control and operation of an injection moulding machine

Identify relevant ancillary equipment and describe its usage and maintenance

Describe the nature of plastic materials and list common types and grades

List common moulding problems and suggest remedial actions

Detail the safety, communication, quality and handover requirements associated with the candidate’s specific injection moulding production process

Individual candidates will be required to collect evidence of existing knowledge and process involvement, prior to the course, and both during the course and afterwards in company, they will be assessed and certificated where successful, against both the BTEC Injection Moulding Qualification H5271, and the NVQ Level 2 Injection Moulding Standard.
