Qualified welders are in high demand!
WHAT DOES THIS WELDING TRAINING COVER?
In this beginners' training we cover the essentials of the most common welding processes: stick (shielded metal arc) welding, MIG/MAG welding, TIG welding and oxy-fuel (autogenous) welding.
You choose the welding process you want to learn yourself. Every participant gets personal guidance.
This training teaches you to weld in a hands-on way.
The demand for qualified welders is higher than ever!

Stick (shielded metal arc) welding
"Electric welding" is a term used mainly informally, among colleagues. It actually refers to shielded metal arc welding, also known locally as stick welding.
MIG/MAG welding
The abbreviations stand for Metal Inert Gas / Metal Active Gas. As the abbreviation suggests, the difference between MIG and MAG mainly relates to the type of gas used in these techniques.
TIG welding
For this form of welding the abbreviation stands for Tungsten Inert Gas. It helps to know that "tungsten" is the metal wolfram, and that arc welding means welding with an electric arc.
Oxy-fuel (autogenous) welding
Oxy-fuel welding is also called gas welding or oxy-acetylene welding. This technique uses a very hot flame.
