Introduction to Tungsten Inert Gas Shielded Welding Gas (TIG)
Objectives:
To provide delegates with the necessary skills, knowledge and safe working practices to be able to produce welded joints in a variety of    materials using the Tungsten Inert Gas Process.
Pre-course requirements:
Delegates do not necessarily need to have prior experience of the TIGÂ process but should have an understanding of workplace health & safety.
Outcomes:
Successful completion of the course will result in the issue of a SETAÂ certificate of completion.
This training could also form the basis of an unit of PEO NVQ Level 2Â Tungsten Inert Gas Shielded Welding.
