There are no formal entry requirements for this course, and no previous welding experience is necessary. All you need is a positive interest, and a commitment to working within an engineering environment.
To comply with Safety Regulations, students are required to provide their own overalls (fire retardant) and footwear (steel toe capped boots).
There will be lectures, but all of the above applications and techniques are taught as practical lessons (apart from Health & Safety), and each includes demonstrations of everything taught. This is essentially a practical 'hands-on' lesson course. There is no formal homework.
You will have constant contact with your tutor throughout the length of the course and there will be an opportunity to evaluate your course at the end.
The teacher will record your progress and provide informal, regular feedback throughout the course. At the end of your study programme you will be asked to self-assess your own progress and achievement against the expected achievements.
In each welding application, welded joints will be produced and by the end of the course you should have produced an array of different welded joints from the four welding processes covered. At the end of the course, joints from each welding process will be tested for defects as a practical coursework assessment. The tests that are carried out are described below:
