  • Is able to correctly choose needed welding instruments
  • Can set up welding equipment and select modes
  • Can properly organize the workplace
  • Can choose the right self-protective equipment
  • Can create, assemble parts and create assemblies
  • Is able to perform quality control and eliminate defects if necessary
  • Knows welding TIG and trimming

 

Learning Content:

The description of the studying environment: Both theoretical and practical sections will be held at Pae 29, Tallinn. Safety and cleanliness are guaranteed. To study the theory, we have 4 classrooms. Depending on the subject, each class accommodates more than 30 people. The theoretical part is given in-hand (or on memory cards) to strengthen knowledge after the lesson. We also provide both personal protection and work equipment for practical exercises. 

List of training materials: WPS for certification enhancement 

Release requirements, including assessment methods and assessment criteria: At least 80% of attendance is a must for completing the training. In addition, the needed part must be welded in accordance with WPS and must correspond to the evaluation criteria.

 

Assessment method: An exam 

Assessment criteria:

  • Visual control
  • X-ray examination
  • Bending test if necessary
  • Provided that all the necessary tests have been successfully passed, and the examination committee has no complaints, an exam will be considered successful, and a certificate will be issued to the student.

 

Documents to be issued:

The complete certificate if the requirements in obtaining it are met. Certificate of the participation if the learning outcomes were not achieved, but the student participated in the study. The certificate is issued in the proportion to the number of hours visited, but not if the student has attended less than half of the required hours. Certificate (ISO 9606-1 standard or EN 287-1 standard), provided that the student has passed all the tests.

 

Summary: The course is intended for workers with metal (advanced level), who in their daily work are engaged in high-quality and accurate welding. The course is aimed at acquiring professional practical skills. A student who completed the course will be able to apply the knowledge gained, namely, to weld various materials and details, looking at the Conduction of his daily duties using tools and welding equipment. After completing the course and passing the final exam, the student is ready to work or take an internship.

 

Formation of the final result:
Assessment
1) Knowledge and the use of professional terminology, successful completion of the practical part of the planned training.
2) Welding of the parts in correspondence to WPS.
