What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populatedfrom NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Short-Term Certificate)

Blueprints and written specifications — read and interpret under direct supervision to identify basic dimensions and shape requirements for wood model assignments.
Hand tools including planes, files, rasps, and sandpaper — use under guidance to trim and smooth wood surfaces toward specified contours on training projects.
Wooden stock selection — identify appropriate grain, species, and dimensions from available materials following supervisor direction in a production shop setting.
Fasteners including nails, screws, glue, and dowels — apply using established procedures to assemble basic wood pattern sections under close oversight.
Templates and measuring devices — use to verify key dimensions and contours of partially formed models at checkpoints directed by a lead craftsperson.
Layout lines and part outlines — mark on wooden stock using squares, scribes, and protractors following provided drawings in a pattern-making workshop.
Identifying marks and assembly codes — apply to finished parts and templates according to shop standards under supervisor instruction.
Pattern and model components — fit together in correct sequence by following step-by-step assembly instructions provided by experienced model makers.
Basic CAD software and word processing tools — navigate to retrieve work orders, drawings, and specifications relevant to assigned model-making tasks.
Shop safety protocols and tool maintenance routines — follow consistently to protect equipment and personnel in a woodworking production environment.
