- Foundation: Basics, Safety
The basics of welding introduce the fundamental science of fusing metals through heat and filler materials to create high-strength permanent joints. Safety training is the most critical component, focusing on the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), ventilation, and the prevention of fire, electrical shock, and UV radiation exposure.
2. Practical: Arc, MIG, TIG, Gas Welding, Sheet Metal, Inspection
This module provides hands-on mastery of various techniques, from the versatility of Arc (Stick) welding to the precision and speed of MIG and TIG processes. Students also learn sheet metal fabrication and rigorous inspection methods, such as dye penetrant or ultrasonic testing, to ensure structural integrity and weld quality.
3. Advanced: Industrial Welding, Robotics, CAD Integration
Advanced training explores large-scale industrial applications, including heavy-duty structural welding and the operation of automated robotic welding arms for mass production. It also covers CAD Integration, teaching welders how to interpret complex 3D blueprints and use computer models to plan precise welding sequences for intricate assemblies.
Short-Term: Certification, Fabrication Workshop
The certification track is designed to validate a welder’s skill level against international standards like AWS (American Welding Society), enhancing their global employability. Complementary fabrication workshops offer intensive, project-based learning where students build real-world structures to master the full lifecycle of cutting, shaping, and joining metal.
