As part of the Level 2 award you will choose to study one of the following:

• Metal Inert Gas Welding
• Tungsten Inert Gas Welding-Stainless Steel
• Tungsten Inert Gas Welding-Steel
• Tungsten Inert Gas Welding-Aluminium
• Manual Metal Arc –Stick Welding

This course is a highly practical course, delivered in our new workshop using state-of-the art equipment. The course content includes the under-pinning knowledge of welding techniques and also covers health and safety. All sessions are practical workshop sessions, although a small amount of reading and research is expected in order to answer the oral questions at the end of the course. Support materials are available.

All sessions are practical workshop sessions, with individuals expected to do small amounts of reading and research, in order to complete the knowledge test at the end of the course.

To successfully pass the course, five practical assignments consisting of welding joints in standard horizontal in the PB and PF positions and one oral knowledge test, for each unit studied, must be passed, with successful completion evidencing an individual’s competence in their chosen welding process.

Completion of the course provides progression onto either another Level 2 award in a different weld process or progression onto the Fabrication and Welding Techniques and Skills - Level 3 Certificate for those learners who have achieved two welding processes at Level 2 and have achieved maths and English at Level 1 or grade D/3.

Completion of the course provides progression onto either another Level 2 award in a different weld process or progression onto the Fabrication and Welding Techniques and Skills - Level 3 Certificate for those learners who have achieved two welding processes at Level 2 and have achieved maths and English at Level 1 or grade D/3.

This course is suitable for those who have already achieved Level 1 in the welding process and wish to study at Level 2.
