INTRODUCTION:

Envision yourself not just joining metal, but crafting in tricate   structures, leading fabrication projects, and potentially running your own thriving workshop. A tour state-of-the-art welding training facility, strategically located for optimal access to industry resources in the Relevant Welding Trade Test Centre/Region in Gauteng, we're dedicated to forging highly skilled welding and fabrication professionals ready to make their mark.
This isn't your standard welding course. We've meticulously Engineered a 12-Month Mastery Program that goes far beyond basic
techniques. Our mission is to cultivate versatile experts by seamlessly integrating advanced welding proficiency with essential fabrication skills, business acumen, safety leadership, and personal development – all within one comprehensive investment!

​

PURPOSE OF UNIT STANDARDS:

This qualification provides learners with the range of learning and skills required to be able to perform a series of activities to support in the welding industry. Learners will acquire a range of skills in the welding field. The need for repair, maintenance and installation of metal structures, products, equipment, vehicles, furniture & more in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors is ever
increasing. Welding is foreseen to form a vital part of the industry far into the future. Our Welding Skills Programmes are developed to improve specific skills relevant in the current work environment. During our programmes, it is top priority to instill work safety habits and continuous cognizance of hazard identification, to ensure not only compliance to regulation and conformance to best practice, but also create a work culture of no compromise in Health and Safety.

Whether you want to improve the efficiency of your workforce or yourself, progress with the goal of acquiring a full qualification, or develop skills required for specific applications, one of our Registered Welding Programmes might be your answer.

TARGET GROUP:

​

Grade 9

​

Full Qualification Program Plumbing Course is a 3 year* practical and theoretical course.

You will perform a series of Plumbing works under the supervision of our highly trained and competent Assessors.

This course enables you to perform all tasks a plumber needs to perform nationally and internationally

This course is a full Qualification program – when finished successfully you will be  a qualified plumber.

During the 36 month program, candidates will attend in workshop training (@ Olifantsfontein Trade Test) for 12 months of the 36 month program. The remaining 24 months is allocated for the candidates practical work place experience, which the candidate is responsible for. All candidates need to arrange their own placements and complete their work place experience.
