Objectives
Students who participate in the BCATS at Level 3 would be seriously considering an apprenticeship in a variety of trades such as: carpentry, construction, joinery, and furniture making.
Content
Students are to prepare for and undertake a Stage 3 BCATS project and compare the final outcome against project requirements.
Students will need to assess the plan/working drawings and job specifications to calculate a cutting list and determine the scope of work including processes, mathematic calculations, and material quantities (also hardware and fastenings). Students will need to keep a journal for documenting all this evidence (calculations, sketching details and photos of the process of making) throughout the Stage 3 project.
They will need to work independently with limited supervision and draw on their previous BCATS experience.
