Inductions and training

To gain access to the different workshop areas of the school, users need to complete local safety inductions for each area.

To sign up for inductions, visit Siso.

DBE Makerspace

To access the Makerspace and its equipment, users must complete a Makerspace induction. This is an introduction to working safely in the Makerspace, and includes a laser cutting demonstration and hands-on 3D print training. A Makerspace induction is equivalent to a General Makerspace Induction and 3D Print Badge from 2025 or earlier.

Makerspace inductions are available in the first few weeks of semester, generally up to week 6.

Sign up for Makerspace inductions on Siso, under workshops.

Wood and Metal Workshop

To access the Wood and Metal Workshop, students must complete a Wood and Metal Workshop induction. These are available in the first few weeks of semester 1, generally up to week 6. Sign up for Wood and Metal Workshop inductions on Siso, under workshops.

A Wood and Metal Workshop induction qualifies you to use the workshop, hand tools, and most of the powered equipment you will need under supervision. Some equipment may require further training or be staff operation only.
