All structured activities are scheduled for 20 hours per week. Students will engage in theoretical training at the MIC Campus, practical training in purpose-built workshops designed to mimic an operational workplace, and complete a work placement where they can demonstrate their skills in a real-world setting. MIC incorporates various teaching methods, including trainer presentations, demonstrations, individual tasks, case studies, research, role plays, practical exercises, and group activities during face-to-face sessions.
Students must complete additional self-study activities outside of class to supplement their formal learning. These independent tasks, with minimal trainer guidance, include watching assigned videos, conducting research, answering questions, performing practical activities, writing reports on provided topics, reviewing assessment requirements, and engaging in self-reflection. These activities are an essential and mandatory component of the overall training program.
Students will have access to all necessary tools, equipment, materials, and documentation, including relevant workplace procedures and product specifications. MIC will provide personal safety equipment (PPE) for use in the workshop, including steel-capped boots, welding gloves, masks, and overalls. The cost for these items will be included in the material cost at the time of enrollment. Alternatively, students may choose to bring their own PPE.
