Welder Training and Welding Qualifications
Why use us? Because we can offer you both fully qualified and experienced welding instructors and our own in-house, fully accredited/approved welding surveyor (Zurich Insurance), to witness all weld testing. We view our relationship with our customers as a long term partnership and work closely with you to tailor training to your specific demands. As a small, family owned business we pride ourselves on offering a personal, bespoke service, whilst providing expert skills and resources to both small and large companies, as well as individuals.
Gain High Quality Welding Skills
We teach welding to approved British, European and International Standards and offer ‘test-day’ only days for welders who only require approval/re-approval, ‘half-day’ tutorials for the DIY or semi-professional enthusiast right up to full time fixed period modular training from 1 to 6 weeks. Although essentially practical, training modules can contain, at the discretion of the client, a theoretical content with full printed notes. The actual content and level of training is tailored to your specific requirements but is available from basic craft skills, to more advanced technician skills. Our welder training modules can be delivered on-site, or at our fully equipped training centre, here in West Yorkshire.
Assessments
Where appropriate, prior to the delivery of training an individual assessment can be conducted to help clarify and identify your welder's current abilities, in relationship to expected requirements/standards.
Welding Processes/Material & Joints
We offer training in the following processes on mild/low alloy steels, aluminium alloys, stainless steels, copper alloys and weldable cast irons, etc. covering fillet, butt and branch joints/welds in pipe, plate and sheet materials.
- Manual Metal Arc (MMA) conventional and stove pipe techniques using rutile, low hydrogen, cellulosic and iron power electrodes
- Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG)
- Metal Active / Metal Inert Gas (MIG/MAG)
- Oxy-Acetylene gas cutting & welding and safety check/set-up procedures for all oxy-acetylene welding equipment
- Brazing and Soldering
Welder Approval Qualifications (coding)
We can offer you full insurance class approvals all in-house under one roof, without having to call in an outside surveyor.
Typical testing standards can include;
BSEN 287-1 (Qualification test of welders – fusion welding of steels)
BSEN 1418:1998 (Approval testing of welding operators – fusion welding and resistance weld setters for automatic and fully mechanized welding of metallic materials)
BSEN ISO 9606-2: 2004 (Aluminium & aluminium alloys)
AWS D1.1M:2008 Structural welding code – steel
D3.6M-99 Specification for underwater welding
ASME 1X ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IX: Welding and Brazing Qualifications
BS 4872 (Qualification of welders without the need for an approved welding procedure)
BSEN ISO 24394:2008 (Qualification test for welders and welding operators. Fusion welding of metallic components welding for Aerospace applications)
and/or client specific requirements.
Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) Approval
Formal approval of a welding procedure (WPS) can sometimes go hand in hand with welder qualifications. Our fully qualified welding engineer can write, develop and approve any welding process you may require, for fillet and butt welds in accordance with the following standards:
- BSEN ISO 15609-1:2004 (Arc welding)
- BSEN ISO 15609-2: 2001 (Gas welding)
- BSEN ISO 15614-1: 2004 (Arc & gas welding of steels, nickel and nickel alloys)
- ASME IX
- AWS
- CAA
