Welder
Training & Qualification Approval
Telford
group Ltd provide welder training and approval testing either
at the clients premises providing they have suitable facilities
and welding equipment of a suitable type and in good working
condition or at our own welding school on Stafford Park.
If
a client is putting candidates forward for their first training
and approval it is an advantage to carry out the training
at Telford Groups Ltd’s facility to take candidates
away from the possible distractions of their normal working
environment to one more conducive to training and to focus
on the task of learning and achieving the approval standard.
If
the client prefers that the candidates are to be trained at
their premises Telford Group Ltds, trainer would require an
office or meeting room to carry out the safety at work and
job knowledge sections of the course and the review sessions.
Telford Group Ltd would also require a workshop area with
suitable welding machines and fume extraction, separate to
the production area to carry out the practical work.
Our
training days are 8.30am till 5.00am with a 1-hour lunch break.
Delegates
would need to bring their own personal protective clothing
and their own welding shield if they have one. A standard
shield will be provided if they do not have one.
The
accepted proven level of welding competency in Europe is BS
EN 287 Welder Approval, often referred to as ‘coded
welder – Class one – etc’. The range of
competency within BS EN 287 is extensive. For production welders
and maintenance fitters we would expect a Tee Fillet Weld
in the horizontal vertical position (inverted tee), in the
MIG process to be achieved.
This will depend on the existing skill and experience level
of each individual, and being familiar with the weld process
being used.
BS
EN 287 calls for the weld test to be the best reflection of
the day to day requirements or the most commonly used in a
normal production or maintenance environment, we suggest a
6mm single run, Tee Fillet in low carbon Steel (HRMS), welded
in the PB (Horizontal Vertical) position for the welding process.
Within
BS EN 287, ‘Job Knowledge’ is a non-mandatory
option only in UK and Denmark but we include this section
being a basic understanding of how the process works and the
safe use of the equipment, which is increasingly required
by the HSE.
On
the assumption that the delegates have been welding in the
processes to be tested on for some time and therefore have
and existing practical skill level we would expect them to
be competent to achieve the approval with two days training
