Objective:
The Steel Fixer course is designed to provide learners with the knowledge and practical skills required to accurately position, cut, bend, and fix steel reinforcement bars (rebar) for concrete structures in construction projects. Participants will gain expertise in reading drawings, understanding structural requirements, and adhering to safety standards. Upon completion, learners will be competent to work efficiently and safely as steel fixers, contributing to the structural integrity of buildings, bridges, and other civil engineering works.
