Level 2 Certificate in Fabrication and Welding

Course overview
The course runs on a Tuesday on a part time day basis, i.e. one day per week over the college year, September to June. You will be required to achieve 31 credits for the qualifications which will entail the following five units: Health and Safety in Fabrication and Welding, Science and Calculations for Fabrication and Welding practice, Fabrication processes – plate or sheet metal, Welding Inspection and Metal Arc Gas shielded welding (MAGS) or Tungsten Arc Gas Shielded Welding (TAGS) or Manual Metal Arc Welding (MMA). A fixed timetable of study will be allocated in the first week as part of the course induction, this will show start and finish times of each lesson, units to study, the allocated room and the lecturing staff. There is roughly an equal split between theory and practical study and achievement is by examination and practical assessments.
Who is this course for?
This course is aimed at students who wish to become technically qualified as part of an Intermediate Engineering Apprenticeship in Fabrication and Welding and those wishing to progress towards level 3. You should be employed in the Fabrication and Welding industry and wishing to improve your career prospects. Entry level is based upon a good level of Science and Maths skills and it is anticipated that you will already have experience either through industry or the level 2 City and Guild Performing Engineering Operations qualification. Mature learners will of course be considered based on fabrication and welding experience, again a good level of science and maths is still required.
What other experience will I gain?
You'll be taught by professionals in the industry who'll be able to offer all of their advice and guidance.
