Accessing the space: How it works

Step 1: Get certified!

Before using our workshops and equipment, you’ll need to complete either a Fast Track assessment (for experienced makers) or a Level 1 class to get certified in the area you want to use. This ensures everyone in the space is trained and working safely.
