intermediate Training

Intermediate courses are suitable for anyone who have the basic welding skills and are looking to develop their skills further.

The program consists of intensive practical training with additional theory around the materials and processes. The courses may be structured in accordance with existing skill sets; as such, there is no set prescribed timeframe, however at least a week is recommended for working with new materials and at least two weeks for a new process.
