CITY & GUILDS 3268 LEVEL 1-3 FOR ONE WELDING DISCIPLINE
Aim of the course
The course is designed to enable candidates to gain welding skills and knowledge to a level that will enable them to work in complex positions and prepare them for undertaking qualifications at NVQ level 3 and BS EN 287 Welder approval testing by having an acceptable standard based upon ISO 5817 – Arc welded joints in steel.
What Careers Can This Lead To?
The Awards and Certificates within this suite of qualifications could help you develop a career in the Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering sector. They could lead to a number of job roles, including:
- Fitter Welder
- Pipe Fitter
- Maintenance Welding Operative
- Sheet Metal Worker
- Plater Fabricator
- Welder
How is it taught?
This is predominantly a practical course delivered in our workshop. It includes all the underpinning knowledge of welding as a profession, as well as the Health & Safety requirements. Alongside the practical workshop sessions, you will be expected to do a small amount of reading and internet research to answer the assessment questions at the end of the course.
You will be required to complete a single Vee Butt Joint in the flat position, Lap Fillet Joint in the vertical up position, Tee Fillet Joint in the vertical up position, Single Vee Butt Joint in the vertical up position, Tube to Plate in the horizontal/vertical position and answer a number of Health & Safety questions.
You will need to bring PPE i.e. steel toe cap boots and flame-retardant overalls. These can be hired from our shared facilities or purchased directly from our stockroom.
