Welding is an industrial art in a highly competitive field. It requires constant physical coordination of arms, hands and eyes, and the student develops manipulative skills through manual training.
Related gas welding and arc welding theory, basic metallurgy, basic blue print reading, applied mathematics and principles of safety are some of the technical subjects covered. On completion of the course a student will have gained sufficient practical experience and related theory to take a variety of job tests.
The welding trade is universal in its application. Construction welding appeals to certain people due to the variety of working locations, while others prefer to remain in the industrial centres, where employment opportunities occur in practically every mechanical or metal trade.
Due to technological development, welding equipment and techniques are constantly changing; thus welders, though employed, should constantly strive to update their skills.
Note: Following successful completion of Level "C" Welding and 5 months of employment as a welder, the student can obtain the registered "C" stamp.
