Courses
Course 1
Course #1: Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) - Structural and Pipe 6G positionsDuration: 16 weeks
Pre-requsite: A pass in 10th.
Certification: Welder SMAW
Suggested Course fee (Boys: Rs 21,000/-, Girls Rs 19,000/-)
Initially Oxy-Acetylene cutting of mild steel in a safe and efficient manner will be perfected. This program is designed to develop skilled welders with theory based knowledge and practical training for using proper techniques for the SMAW process for various welding geometries and positions. At the conclusion of this course trainees will be able to produce defect free welds and demonstrate new and/or improved skills using the SMAW in various positions. The students will be trained for pipe welder qualification & certification as per ASME. This is essential before any welder can be permitted to weld pressure vessel/piping jobs. A student successfully completing this course will be capable of welding pipe using the SMAW process in the 6G position. Students will be able to take the ASME/AWS 6G pipe certification after completing this course.

Course 3
Course #3: Advanced Welding Training CoursePre-requite: Knowledge of SMAW, MIG and TIG welding
Duration: 8 weeks
Suggested Course fee: Rs 15,000/-
This program is designed for certified welders who are out of touch for a long time. This training program will be useful for them to refresh their skills and experience. This program will be mostly (75%) practical oriented using different arc welding processes on plates and pipes in all positions. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to pass trade test and obtain entry level jobs in construction of bridges, fabrication of structural components, pipeline welding and other job shop applications.
