Description

MIG, TIG & Gas Welding

This Level 2 & 3 Diploma is designed for those who want to build foundational and advanced skills in MIG, TIG, and Gas welding techniques. From understanding the basics to mastering specialised processes and working in varied environments, this course provides a well-rounded approach to becoming confident and competent in modern welding practices.

Course Curriculum, of the MIG, TIG & Gas Welding

Module 1: Introduction to Welding
Begin with the principles, history, and importance of joining processes in today’s industries. Learn about various methods, essential tools and materials, and key safety procedures that underpin professional standards.

Module 2: Basic Welding Techniques
Build core competencies such as joint types, bead creation, and positional techniques. Develop practical experience with arc initiation, heat management, and work surface preparation—critical for accuracy and control.

Module 3: Electric Arc Welding Fundamentals
Gain a solid understanding of electric arc-based methods, including the creation and management of arcs between electrodes and metal. Study the use of AC/DC currents, electrode options, polarity, arc length, and ways to mitigate issues like arc blow and warping.

Module 4: MIG and TIG Welding
Delve into the principles, tools, and procedures specific to MIG and TIG systems. Learn how to select shielding gases, adjust machine settings, handle the torch, and work with materials like aluminium, stainless steel, and mild steel.

Module 5: Gas Welding and Cutting
Master oxy-acetylene techniques for both joining and cutting tasks. This module covers flame adjustment, regulator and hose safety, tip selection, and suitable methods for different metal thicknesses.

Module 6: Welding Metallurgy
Explore how thermal joining impacts the microstructure and mechanical strength of metals. Key topics include heat-affected zones, grain transformations, solidification, stress relief, and alloy behaviours.

Module 7: Welding Design and Blueprint Reading
Develop the ability to interpret technical drawings, industry symbols, and blueprints. Learn to convert design plans into accurate joints and structures aligned with fabrication standards.

Module 8: Welding Inspection and Quality Control
Acquire skills to assess quality through visual checks and non-destructive testing methods. Identify defects like porosity or undercutting, and understand documentation, standards, and corrective procedures.

Module 9: Fabrication Techniques
Learn practical methods for shaping, cutting, and assembling metal parts. This includes marking out, measurement, using jigs and fixtures, and planning builds to meet professional expectations.

Module 10: Advanced Welding Processes
Investigate specialised and high-precision methods such as plasma arc, submerged arc, electron beam, and laser systems. Understand where and when each process is most effective.

Module 11: Welding in Different Environments
Understand how to operate safely and efficiently in various conditions—underwater, elevated locations, confined spaces, or exposed outdoor sites. Topics include hazard awareness, protective gear, and worksite planning.

Module 12: Pipe and Tube Welding
