Course Outline:
The Welder Apprentice curriculum provides apprentices with the study materials that enables them to perform the tasks associated with this trade. The program has been designed to meet the subject requirements set forth in the standards established by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training (BAT). Since welding skills can only be perfected through practice, trainees should have access to both gas and arc welding equipment. When combined with on-the-job training, the program will provide trainees with the comprehensive skills and knowledge they will need to perform in this trade area. Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:
  • Describe the electrode color system.
  • Select the proper tip for gas welding.
  • Read basic welding prints.
  • Explain the start up procedure for arc welding.
  • Describe the various uses of Gas Tungsten-Arc Welding.
  • Discuss the use of Gas Metal-Arc Welding.
  • Select the proper shielding gases for welding.
  • Describe the procedures for the inspection of welds.
  • Discuss the procedures for nondestructive testing of welds.
  • Select the proper filler metal for a particular job.
