Metal Inert Gas Welding (MIG)

Our welding training focuses on developing practical welding capability such that trainees achieve a consistent standard. The courses provide an intense but comprehensive course of welding instruction for those with some or minimal welding experience. They are designed to promote practical welding proficiency and provide trainees with a sound theoretical understanding of the process.

Our welding bay is fully ventilated with local and area extraction. On completion of the course trainees will be expected to be able to produce finished welded joints to an acceptable standard i.e. in accordance with BS4872. (BS4872 Certification £100 + VAT)

Practical Work:

• Arc welding safety – safely identify, assemble, connect start-up and shut down equipment including gases.
• Weld bead onto plate, layered beads, lap, edge, closed and open corner and fillet welds.
• Using dip and spray transfer methods as appropriate.

Course requirements for all processes:

• Theory: Multi-Choice Questionnaire
• Practical: Welds will be tested to the requirements of BS4872 where appropriate. Visual, macro-etch and fracture techniques will be used.
