Basic Welding

This course focuses on teaching the student the basics needed to work with welding equipment. This course focuses on the ARC welding technique. ARC welding is a process that is used to join metal to metal by using electricity to create enough heat to melt metal, and the melted metals when cool result in a binding of the metals.

Course Content:

Module 1: Safety and Building Industry

Module 2: Shield metal Arc welding

Module 3: Gas, Metal Arc welding

Module 4: Gas, Tungsten Arc welding

Module 5: Oxy Acetylene Welding

Module 6: Oxy Acetylene Brazing

Type of Course:

This is a practical course and the modules will be done in a fully equipped workshop.
