This outlines what the practical assessment will look like.

The trainer will demonstrate how to properly and safely use the machine, as well as answer any questions you may have.

Please keep in mind that all the trainers at Makespace are volunteers. They, like all Makespace members, give their time to continually improve our community. Do not hesitate to ask for training, or indeed any questions, but please be patient as they make time in their schedules to run the practical assessments.
