Completion of DT039 or a proven high standard of welding experience and capability in MIG or TIG. Applicants who have completed trade examinations in Metal Fabrication, Sheet Metalwork or Welding will also qualify. Allied trades may also qualify.
Examinations / Assessments
EN287 / ASME IX Coded Welder Certificate conducted and supervised by an external awarding body on the last night of the programme.
Progression
Depending on certification achieved participants may wish to complete a more advanced test level on the same programme using a different process or test position.
Participants may also progress to DT041 Manual Metal Arc (MMA) - Advanced Plate & Pipe Welding
Learning Outcome
Students will be able to carry our advanced welding processes on aluminium, low carbon steel and stainless steel, flat plate and thin sheet and O40mm stainless steel tube only.
Career Opportunities
Welding career in light fabrication, or sheet metal and allied industries. Successful completion of EN287/ASMEIX Coded Welder Certificate enables the certificate holder to work unsupervised on site.
