Introduction to Robotics - Beginners

This Introduction to Industrial Robotics (Beginners) aims to support learners who have an interest in this subject and wish to pursue a career in engineering and robotics. Learners may have completed a previous Engineering qualification and wish to progress onto Level 3 or higher-level qualifications, or to gain insight into the world of Industrial Robotics prior to making crucial career decisions.

This course will support upskilling within their current roles, which can then be used to progress into more senior/complex job roles, or to support a career change into automation/industrial robotics sectors

This qualification includes the following modules:
- Safety
- Operational Modes
- Manual Movement (“Jogging”)
- Coordinate systems (World, Base, Tool)
- Basic movement programming (PTP, LIN, CIRC)
- Pick and Place programming
- Overview of offline programming (KUKA SIM)

There are no formal assessment for this qualification

This course will also support adults who aspire to work within Engineering/Robotics sectors and will develop their confidence and ability to support increased job opportunities into the Engineering/Robotics sectors.

This can be used as a CPD course to upskill within their current working environment, using high specification Robotics equipment

You will receive a competency certificate on completion of your course.

This qualification will lead to employment in the industry of Advanced Manufacturing or to further study/higher education including;
- Introduction to Robotics (Intermediate)
- Level 4 Automation and Robotics and PLC's

For entry onto this qualification learners must havea keen interest in Advanced Manufacturing. It would be beneficial to have an understanding of Industrial Robotics/Electrical engineering, but not essential.

Funding may be available to support your learning as an adult (aged 19+) studying at Dudley College. Check out the Financial Support guidance for more information.
