Content

From component geometry to independent working skills.

Foundations

Vocabulary, geometry, materials, light and workstation setup.

Hand technique

Files, buffs, supports, pressure, path and surface preparation.

Micromotor

Controlled machining, consistency and relation to hand finishing.

Complex areas

Internal and external corners, transitions and corrections.

Inspection

Read width, edge, reflection and surrounding finishes.

Autonomy

Plan, execute, review and document work with progressively less guidance.

Progression

A progressive programme documented at every stage.

Start

Establish visual criteria, posture, supports and tool control.

Develop

Increase geometric and surface difficulty while keeping inspection constant.

Consolidate

Work on corrections, transitions and repeatability across real components.

Conclude

Review the documented path and the level actually reached.

Progress: the level achieved develops through previous experience, aptitude, practice and work completed between corrections.

Questions before the programme

What the reference programme is designed to build.

Do I already need bevelling experience?

The programme welcomes committed beginners, career changers and professionals. The initial conversation helps set the right rhythm.

What does “progressive autonomy” mean?

Preparing, executing, observing and correcting with guidance that decreases as the criteria become more stable. The level reached remains individual.

Does the programme guarantee employment or a professional level?

The course builds a complete method and documents the level achieved. Final quality then develops through practice, consistency and experience after the programme.
