EXPERT WELDER PROGRAM

WTTC-019 : WELDER FITTER PROGRAM - 38 Weeks (1,330 Clock Hours)

38 WEEKS - 1,330 CLOCK HOURS - TUITION GHS 74,813

(Minimum 20 students required to start a class)

DESCRIPTION:
Students of the Welder Fitter Program commence with the same course of study as the Combination Welder (as described on the following page), and continues on to receive additional specialized training that extends students' skills beyond Combination Welding. Further training incorporates extra hands-on time in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG), working with a variety of other metals (carbon steel, stainless steel, Titanium, aluminum plate and carbon steel pipe). It also covers Combination Processes, where students are instructed in the additional considerations that come into play when more than one process is needed in the joining procedure. This extended Program also includes basic instruction in both pipe fitting and structural layout. Instruction in Welding Technology and Blueprint Reading includes shop math, welding symbols, and the basics required to read, understand, and follow welding blueprints.

OBJECTIVES:
Welder Fitter graduates should be proficient in both manual and semi-automatic welding processes. The student should be able to pass performance tests in accordance with the American Welding Society (AWS) Structural Welding Code, ASME IX Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and BS EN 9606 qualification requirements. The Welder Fitter possesses the flexibility and versatility of the Combination Welder plus the specialized skills required to follow a blueprint in the fabrication shop and actually layout and fit up the materials prior to welding. The Welder Fitter is considered a specialist within the welding field and is fundamentally prepared to continue training for technician employment. The Welder Fitter graduate should be prepared to enter the field as a welder, a fitter, or welder-fitter on an entry level. Specifically, the Welder Fitter graduate should be able to meet all the objectives of the Combination Welder Program, plus these six added objectives:

  • 1-7. Meet all objectives of the Combination Welding Program.
  • 8. Understand and follow basic welding shop blueprint.
  • 9. Determine materials needed for fabrication according to information provided in welding blueprints.
  • 10. Follow a blueprint and be able to layout all necessary materials.
  • 11. Cut required materials, secure with fixtures, perform tack welds per shop drawings, and do the finish welding required.
  • 12. Weld on Stainless Steel and Aluminum using the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding process.
  • 13. Employ more than one process in the joining procedure.

    23 WEEKS - 805 CLOCK HOURS - TUITION GHS 45,293.00

    (Minimum 20 students required to start a class)

    DESCRIPTION:

    The Combination Welding program consists of metal cutting utilizing the Oxyacetylene torch and employing four common welding processes, detailed below. The program concentrates on the basic techniques required to make sound welds on carbon steel plate. The shop projects include various joint designs in all positions on plate. In Shielded Metal Arc Welding, several electrode types and sizes are employed with multi process welding machines. Two semi-automatic processes are taught, Gas Metal and Flux Cored Arc Welding. Structured theory classes cover welding safety, proper machinery set ups and adjustments, basic metallurgy, weld wire selection, and welding joint design.

    OBJECTIVES:
    The Combination Welding graduate should be proficient in both manual and semi-automatic welding processes. The student should be able to pass performance tests in accordance with the American Welding Society (AWS) Structural Welding Code. The Combination Welder graduate possesses a great deal of versatility which can be applied in the welding field. The graduate is prepared to enter the welding field as a Combination Welder on an entry level, employing any one of the four welding processes on plate. Specifically, the Combination Welding graduate should be able to:

  • 1. Understand and follow established safety practices in the welding shop.
  • 2. Weld and cut using the Oxyacetylene process.
  • 3. Weld carbon steel plate in the flat, horizontal, vertical, & overhead positions using the Shielded Metal and Gas Metal Arc Welding processes.
  • 4. Weld carbon steel plate in the flat, horizontal, & vertical positions using Gas Tungsten and Flux Cored Arc Welding processes.
  • 5. Weld carbon steel plate in all positions using Shielded Metal Arc Welding process.
  • 6. Set up and operate different types of welding machines.
  • 7. Understand and discuss basic welding theory.
