Practical welding training - introduction/ practice 2G, 3G & 4G positions 

*Materials not included 

Course Description – Certification in AWS D1.1 (Structural Welding) , SMAW Process.

Course Objective – By the end of the class session, the student should be able to weld fillet and groove welds in all positions. The student should be able to apply the proper welding techniques to T joints, Lap joints and Groove welds as needed in the welding industry.

Classroom Instruction: Shop and field safety standards, rules and regulations needed to develop safe work ethics.

Lab/Shop: Hands on welding with F4 (low hydrogen) electrodes. Proper technique in welding T- Joints and 

V-Groove Joints. Instruction required for proper and adequate placement of the weldment in the required test positions. 

PROCESSES: SMAW – Stick welding – used widely in the construction industry. It is the most commonly used commercial welding process. The process is used for the fabrication of many items such as buildings, stadiums and bridges in several industries.

Prerequisite- Completion of Structural Welding Basics or prior welding experience required

TESTING: Our onsite welding inspectors may  administer a welding test at the end of the class session to those students that are prepared to take the AWS D1.1 Welders Qualification Test. Upon successful completion of the AWS D1.1 Welders Qualification Test, we will administer an AWS D1.1 Structural Certification. May also be used as the LA City Practical Test, if written test is passed from LADBS
