Welder Syllabus (1 Year)

 

The course is generally divided into Trade Theory (the science and knowledge) and Trade Practical (the hands-on skill development), along with supporting subjects.

 

1. Trade Practical: Workshop Skills (Core Focus)

 

This is the most time-intensive component, involving continuous practice in the workshop.

Safety and Tools:

Workshop Safety: Strict adherence to safety practices in welding (PPE, fire prevention, ventilation).

First Aid: Handling minor burns, cuts, and electric shock.

Tools: Proper selection, use, and maintenance of welding tools (tongs, chipping hammer, wire brush, measuring tools, etc.).

Welding Processes:

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW / Stick Welding):

Identification and selection of various electrodes (e.g., E6010, E7018).

Preparation of welding joints (square butt, lap, tee, corner, etc.).

Practice welding in all positions: Flat (1G/1F), Horizontal (2G/2F), Vertical (3G/3F), and Overhead (4G/4F).

Gas Welding (Oxy-Acetylene Welding - OAW):

Setting up gas welding equipment, safety in handling cylinders and regulators.

Practice on straight bead, corner, and lap joints.

Cutting and Preparation:

Thermal Cutting: Techniques for Oxy-Acetylene Cutting (OAC) for ferrous metals.

Grinding and Bevelling: Preparing and cleaning metal surfaces before welding.

Inspection and Testing:

Visual inspection of welds for defects (undercut, porosity, lack of fusion).

Practice on simple destructive testing (e.g., bend tests, nick-break tests).


 

2. Trade Theory: Principles and Knowledge

 

This module covers the necessary technical background for the practical work.

Welding Fundamentals:

Classification of welding processes and their applications.

Welding positions and standard joint nomenclature.

Understanding the properties of metals (ferrous and non-ferrous).

Welding Machines and Equipment:

Working principle of AC and DC welding machines.

Understanding electrode coatings and their functions.

Arc length, polarity, current, and voltage control.

Gas Welding Theory:

Types of flames (neutral, oxidizing, carburizing) and their uses.

Filler metals and fluxes used in gas welding.

Welding Defects:

Causes, identification, and remedies for common welding defects (cracks, distortion, spatter).

Basic Metallurgy:

Effects of heat on metals during the welding process.


 

3. Core/Allied Subjects

 

These subjects provide supporting skills essential for a welder.

Workshop Calculation & Science (WCS): Basic applied mathematics related to the trade (e.g., units, area, volume, fractions, material density).

Engineering Drawing (ED): Interpretation of welding symbols on blueprints and basic sketching of joint designs.

Employability Skills: Basic communication, computer literacy, and environmental concepts.

This diploma prepares you to work as an entry-level Welder or Fabricator in construction, manufacturing, automobile repair, and general metal fabrication workshops.
