Course Duration: 10 days

Examination Duration: 1 day

Route 1

A valid welder approved certificate ISO 9606H-L045 ssnb in one of the welding processes listed 5.1 of ISO 9606, or equivalent, e.g. BS-EN 287H-L045 ssnb, or ASME IX 6G.

Route 2

A valid welder approval as a plate welder for the following conditions PE ssnb or PC and PF ssnb, according to ISO 9606 in at least one process, and/or the national equivalent in the IIW member country.

Minimum age of 20 years, including two years experience as a welder.

THEORY:

• Welding processes and equipment
• Materials and their behaviour during welding
• Construction and design
• Fabrication applications engineering

PRACTICAL:

• Practical training is carried out on an individual basis the main processes being MMA, MIG/MAG, FCAW, TIG and Oxy-Fuel welding. Forty (40) hours are reserved to broaden the student’s knowledge and skill in other relevant materials within his main process. An additional twenty (20) hours shall be reserved to give the student basic understanding of the possibilities of other processes.

NOTE:

If a student can demonstrate to the training establishment, skill in and understanding of the processes, the student may be exempted from practical training.

Successful students will:

• Have a working knowledge of the characteristics and main components of the most common arc welding power sources
• Have a working knowledge of the application of special and automatic welding processes
• Be able to choose appropriate weld configurations given material, thicknesses, accessibility, different loadings and allowable tolerances
• Understand basic metallurgy of steels, testing of materials and heat treatments
• Be able to solve weldability problems for different steels and alloys
• Be able to identify the different non-destructive testing methods and repair methods.

Examination for the International Welding Practitioner diploma.

Minimum: 4
Maximum: 10
