About Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Welding Training C&G Level 1
The course runs over 5 days and covers some underpinning theory to a level that will satisfy the requirements of City and Guilds Level 1. The practical elements focus on the development of welding skills typically found in industry which will enable the delegates to complete welded joints in simple welding positions using the Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Welding equipment and processes safely and effectively.
Is it right for me?
Delegates should be using TIG welding in the workplace and have a basic understanding. They also will need to have achieved the relevant practical skills or appropriate experience to undertake TIG welding tasks competently and safely to the City and Guilds Level 1 standards.
What will I learn?
During the course the delegates will cover the following subject areas.
The process and health and safety requirements for TIG welding
Interpreting welding drawing symbols
Identifying weld defects
Set up of equipment and welding practice
Produce beads on plate in the PA flat position
Produce a lap fillet weld in the PB horizontal/vertical position
Produce a tee fillet weld in the PA flat position
Produce a tee fillet weld in the PB horizontal/vertical position
Produce a corner weld in the PA flat position
The benefits?
The course will raise the delegates’ skill level by the use of practical welding with lectures on:
Using the equipment safely and changing parts of the system.
Relevant parts of Control of Substances Hazardous to Health regulations (COSHH).
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Basic welder maintenance.
Process applications.
This 5-day course has some short classroom sessions to present the underpinning theory of this subject area but is heavily focussed on the practical training in welding techniques.
The delegates are required to produce a welding test piece which is assessed to City and Guilds Level 1 standard by the instructor. They are also to demonstrate that they can set up and operate the TIG Welding equipment safely. On successful completion of the course at the Aston, Birmingham venue, delegates will receive an accredited City and Guilds award, otherwise an MCP Certificate of Attendance will be issued. The content of this course may be used to support NVQ programmes.
We also offer training on customer sites.
