Course aims

Delegates will learn to perform basic welding and to manage equipment to a competent standard within the context of a sound understanding of safety procedures.

Each year over 1000 work-related accidents to welders are reported to the Health & Safety Executive.

HSS has developed a series of courses designed for delegates wishing to upgrade existing skills or develop new ones. Each course consists of classroom tuition and hands-on activities using welding equipment and processes typical of the industry.

The series is comprehensive – from introductory through to intermediate and advanced levels. Training can be conducted at our purpose built, multi-equipped workshop and specially tailored to suit specific needs. The knowledge and skills gained will enable delegates to understand the function of equipment, ensuring that safe conditions for use are in place at all times.
