EAL Level 1 Award in Introductory Welding Skills - MIG (Metal Inert Gas)
The EAL level 1 welding courses will allow trainees to develop the practical skills required to perform welding in the flat and horizontal/vertical positions. The candidate will produce welds and visually access that they are fit for purpose against the requirements of the weld procedure (WPS) provided within the unit measure assessment. Furthermore the welding trainee will learn the fundamental underpinning knowledge relevent to the MIG, TIG or MMA welding process including, safety, use of welding equipment and choice of consumables.
The qualification is intended to provide a level of knowledge that will allow fundamental welding to take place safely and provide the base level of knowledge and skill to allow progression onto EAL level 2 qualifications.
Further Details
What is this qualification?
