Description
This advanced course is designed to enhance SMAW welding skills and prepare students for taking a structural steel welder performance qualification test(s) per the requirements of the D1.1 Structural Welding Code- Steel published by the American Welding Society. This 12-week session is predominantly hands-on practice with instructor supervision using the SMAW process in various welding positions. Students will also learn and understand basic welding symbols used in the trade. We will also explore the Gas-Metal-Arc and Flux-Cored-Arc welding practices.
Note: It is strongly recommended that students have significant prior welding experience or have taken the SMAW Level I course as a prerequisite for this course. Students must wear leather shoes or boots, a long-sleeved shirt, and safety glasses.
