When I leave Armadale Academy I would like to become a Fabrication and Welding Technician.
As I am a hands on person and practically minded, my goal is to possibly complete an apprenticeship with a well-established company.
I am currently studying Practical Metalworking and I have gained a greater knowledge of the types of fabrication required for this type of work.
