If you are new to welding, would like to get some experience before applying for a job or work in another area of engineering and want to develop your practical skills, this short course will give you a basic understanding of either MIG or TIG welding processes and techniques used in the industry.
The course covers MIG or TIG welding – you will be required to choose one process to study and if you wish to learn about additional processes you will need to enrol on a further course.

What you could study next
After this Level 1 Welding Qualification, you could progress to a Level 2 Welding Qualification to develop more advanced techniques and work toward employment as a skilled welder. From there, a Level 3 NVQ in Welding supports progression into supervisory roles or specialist welding work. If you're interested in the broader engineering sector, Level 2 qualifications in Engineering or Fabrication and Welding are also worth exploring.
