American Welding Society (AWS) Welding Certification Course: Certified Welder Training

This course provides participants with techniques of major welding processes with awareness on the properties of metal and alloy used. It also includes factors influencing the design of welding joints and the application or selection of proper electrodes to a welded joint. 

Shield Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) are outlined in the training session. The practical activities are based on current practices at the industries today.

This course is aimed for those who wants to be certified welder through the AWS certification. This program will be organized by ADC, UTM in collaboration with Kedah Industrial Skills and Management Development Centre (KISMEC). The certified welder program is to expose potential welders to the procedures used in the structural steel, petroleum pipelines, sheet metal, and chemical refinery welding industries. 

The main emphasis of this program is to expose as much as possible to the actual scenarios of working as a professional certified welder. This course also aims for those who wants to improve on their quality of welding and to undertake quality inspection using tools of general practice, warrant by professional bodies.
