Presentation

General information about the degree

📚 Overview

The Intermediate Vocational Training Programme in Machining, taught at Institut Escola Industrial, prepares professionals to manufacture parts through machining processes using conventional and computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools. The programme covers technical drawing interpretation, metrology, quality control, and material-removal and abrasive machining techniques. It also addresses occupational risk prevention and basic equipment maintenance.

✨ Specific Information

The programme combines theoretical and practical learning, including modules delivered in workshops equipped with industrial machinery. Students can undertake workplace training (FCT), allowing them to gain real experience in companies within the sector. The programme encourages learning about new technologies used in machining and offers the possibility of participating in mobility programmes such as Erasmus+, if available at the school.

👤 Recommended Profile

This programme is recommended for students interested in technology, industrial manufacturing and precise manual work. Attention to detail, problem-solving ability, teamwork and manual dexterity are valued.

🚀 Academic and Career Progression

After completing the Intermediate Vocational Training Programme in Machining, graduates can enter the industrial workforce directly or continue their education through a related Advanced Vocational Training Programme, such as Production Scheduling in Mechanical Manufacturing, broadening their skills and career prospects.
