The Course in Detail

This course is specifically for Chartwell Marine employees only.

This course is for employees looking to learn basic welding skills, for work or at home. By using jigs to represent a floor or door panel, you will be able to make a repair by removing the material and then replace it and weld into place. MIG welding can also be used in a variety of ways such as making of furniture, i.e. garden seats, hanging baskets, and also decorative items in the home such as wine racks, newspaper holders, and candle stick holders.

Please note that welding of structural components on cars or motorcycles will not be part of this course. You will have the opportunity to develop your knowledge and learn the basics of MIG welding (Metal Inert Gas).

You will be taught:

  • How to use tools correctly and safely and apply it to a chosen end product
  • How to set up machinery for the MIG welding process
  • How to prepare metal prior to welding
  • What to look out for when welding and what the common pitfalls are
