Metal Inert Gas Shielded Welding (MIG)
Objectives:
To provide delegates with the necessary skills, knowledge and safe working practices to enable them to produce complex welded joints in mild steel in a variety of positions.
Pre-course requirements:
Delegates should have completed the Introduction to Metal Inert as Shielded Welding course or have demonstratable prior skills and knowledge, along with an understanding of workplace health & safety.
Outcomes:
Successful completion of the course will result in the issue of a SETA certificate of completion.
This training could also contribute to the achievement of an NVQ Level 2 unit Metal Inert Gas Shielded Welding/or Testing to BS 4872 Pts 1/2.
