Introduction

A course will be marked as 'Complete' once all of its modules have been passed. Even if you have completed a course, you can still go back to revise a particular topic again, as long as you do so within the 60-day timeframe. You can also make a note of any topics you found difficult, and make a note to ask your tutor when you attend your full, classroom-based course.

Objectives

    By the end of this training course, participants will be able to Understand:

    • Introduction to Metallurgy
    • Duties of a Senior Welding Inspector

    • Welding Processes
    • Residual Stress and Distortion
    • Welding Symbols
    • Welding Inspection Assessment
    • NDT Reports
    • Fracture Assessment
    • Welding Procedures

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations.
