The SAIW is dedicated to providing world-class practical welder training benchmarked against international welding standards and international welder programmes. SAIW therefore strives to ensure that when a candidate exits any of our tailormade programmes he/she can be assured of good prospects in securing employment with excellent financial rewards.
These highly sought-after courses can be developed to suit company or individual needs and are conducted at the SAIW practical welding school. They can also be offered in-house.
Practical welding courses are tailored to accommodate any welding skill level, from beginner to experienced. Training is thus designed to meet the needs of the individual taking into account the entry skill level and the desired end result. The pace of progress is determined through practical assessments and so the duration will vary from one person to the next.

Individuals seeking to learn how to weld or those wishing to acquire a new skill or upskill themselves can attend any Monday to Friday session, once a booking is confirmed.
