TIG WELDING TRAINING
Welding Course
Develop Practical Tungsten Inert Gas Welding Skills
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding is a versatile welding process used across engineering, manufacturing, maintenance and fabrication environments where control, precision and weld quality are particularly important.
MCP Technical Training's TIG Welding Course combines underpinning welding theory with practical hands-on training, helping delegates develop the knowledge, skills and confidence required to carry out TIG welding activities.
Training covers equipment set-up, consumable selection, welding techniques, practical welds, welding repairs, health and safety and appropriate personal protective equipment.
The course can be tailored to suit novice or more experienced welders and delivered over one to five days according to individual and organisational requirements.
WHY DEVELOP
TIG Welding Capability
Developing practical TIG welding capability requires an understanding of both the welding process and the techniques required to produce welded joints correctly and safely.
The TIG Welding Course combines welding theory with practical application, allowing delegates to understand the equipment and consumables involved before developing their skills through hands-on welding activities.
Delegates learn how to set up TIG welding equipment correctly, select appropriate consumables and apply welding techniques in practice.
The course also considers welding repairs, health and safety and appropriate PPE, helping delegates develop a broader understanding of safe and effective TIG welding.
IS THIS COURSE
Right for You?
The TIG Welding Course is designed for people who need to develop, refresh or extend their practical TIG welding skills.
Training can be tailored to suit both novice and more experienced welders.
It is particularly suitable for:
» Maintenance Technicians
» Mechanical Maintenance Engineers
» Mechanical Fitters
» Fabricators
» Engineering Technicians
» Multi-skilled Maintenance Engineers
» Employees developing practical welding skills
» Existing welders looking to refresh or develop their TIG welding skills
» Organisations looking to develop welding capability within maintenance, engineering or production teams
The duration and content of the training can be adapted according to delegates' existing experience and organisational requirements.
WHAT WILL YOU
Be Able to Do?
Following the TIG Welding Course, delegates will have developed greater knowledge and practical capability in the TIG welding process.
Depending on the training undertaken and individual experience, this includes greater confidence in:
» Understanding welding health and safety requirements
» Selecting and using appropriate PPE
» Understanding the TIG welding process
» Setting up TIG welding equipment
» Selecting appropriate consumables
» Understanding welding theory
» Applying practical TIG welding techniques
» Producing practical welded joints
» Undertaking appropriate welding repairs
» Applying TIG welding knowledge in practical situations
The exact level of practical capability developed will depend upon the duration of the course, delegates' starting experience and the training requirements agreed.
ASSESSMENT &
Certification
Practical welding forms an important part of the course, with delegates undertaking practical activities and weld test pieces as part of their training.
Practical weld test pieces are assessed to help evaluate the welding skills developed during the course.
Following completion of the training, delegates receive an MCP Certificate of Attendance (BS 4872).
