Assessments
You'll need to pass a safety assessment specific to each machine you'd like to use at BloQs, after which you can book in according to your requirements.
During a machine assessment, our technician will:
- talk to you about your experience
- advise you on safe use and PPE
- familiarise you with the machine and its controls
- ask you how you would perform certain tasks
- require you to demonstrate your ability to operate the machine safely
- assess your competence Most assessments will take 30 minutes or less
After passing, you will be able to use the machine each time you book in. If you aren't quite ready on a specific machine, we can arrange one to one training.
4. Book the Workspace you need
When you book a workspace, it is your exclusive working area where you can leave your tools, materials, work in progress, and come & go as you please, for as long as you’re booked in.
Booking a workspace means you can use any included machine for which you’ve passed an assessment.
Some of our machines are available to book for exclusive use by the hour, half day or day. You'll find pricing details for exclusive machines in the member booking area as well as on the individual machine website pages.
5. Book other resources
The Laser Cutter, CNC Router, CNC Mill, Paint Shop and Welding Machines are available for exclusive use booking by the hour, half day or day depending on which you are booking. Workspace is included in your booking when you reserve a machine for exclusive use.
To book any of these, you will first need to pass the relevant Assessment or Training.
