The Course

This Level 2 Welding course builds on the skills and knowledge gained at Level 1, helping you develop your practical welding techniques and prepare for further study or a career within engineering and fabrication. You will choose between three types of welding:

  • Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding
  • Manual Metal Arc (MMA) welding
  • Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding
  • Topics include:

    • Welding techniques and processes
    • Preparing materials for welding
    • Producing welded joints
    • Using welding tools and equipment
    • Safe working practices
    • Health and safety
    • Developing practical welding skills

    The course provides hands-on experience using MIG, MMA or TIG welding methods, allowing you to develop greater accuracy, control and confidence in your chosen welding process. Practical workshop activities will help strengthen the techniques developed at Level 1 while introducing more advanced welding tasks.

    Safe working practices are an important part of the course, including the correct use of welding equipment and an understanding of the precautions needed when working in an engineering environment.

    By the end of the course, you will have developed your practical welding ability and a stronger understanding of welding processes, preparing you to progress to further study or pursue opportunities within the engineering, fabrication and welding industries.

    You should have completed a Level 1 Welding course or be able to demonstrate that you have existing skills in this area.
    You could progress to the College’s Level 3 welding course.
