Welding technician

Trainees will be introduced to three welding process and learn to produce weld beads to in industry standards in the four welding positions, i.e. Down hand; vertical; horizontal and overhead positions. They shall also demonstrate safe working practices within a welding environment or workshop especially when operating power tools and workshop machinery. Furthermore, they will be introduced to Thermal cutting processes and the safety aspects attached to those. Marking out and fabricating of components is a key skill to have and we shall endeavor to train the students some, if not all, the skills in the prescribed time. During this time we highlight good work ethics and conduct expected in a working environment.

 

Educational/vocational objectives

The expected Welding craft educational/vocational objectives are that, upon completing all training courses, the trainee will be able to:

• Weld steel components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions.
• Operate safety equipment and use safe work habits
• Lay out, position, align, and secure parts and assemblies prior to assembly, using straightedges, combination squares, calipers, and rulers.
• Examine work pieces for defects and measure work pieces with straightedges or templates to ensure conformance with specifications.
• Recognize, set up, and operate hand and power tools common to the welding trade, such as shielded metal arc and gas welding/ cutting equipment.
• Clamp, hold, tack-weld, heat-bend, grind or bolt component parts to obtain required configurations and positions for welding.
• Select and install torches, torch tips, filler rods, and flux, according to welding chart specifications or types and thicknesses of metals.
• Ignite torches or start power supplies and strike arcs by touching electrodes to metals being welded, completing electrical circuits.
• Connect and turn regulator valves to activate and adjust gas flow and pressure so that desired flames are obtained
• Obtain a certification in Basic Welding from the accreditation organization.
