This course provides apprentices with a combination of knowledge and practical skills in the operation and safe use of shielded metal arc welding equipment. Trade specific skills are developed through the preparation and welding of lap, tee and groove weld joints on steel plate and pipe in the flat and horizontal position and vertical position. Safe work practices and weld quality are stressed throughout the course and are reinforced by means of an independent reading assignment complete with a final theory test.
