Objective:

To provide participants with the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to perform welds using the electric arc welding technique with coated electrodes (SMAW). Participants will acquire the skills needed to properly handle welding equipment and tools, select the appropriate type of electrode, and perform quality welds on different materials and positions.

Course Outline:
