The theoretical education given to the students aims at a basic understanding of the appropriate welding process and the materials behaviour including standards and safety regulations. The themes and keywords are given as ‘scope’ in the module descriptions, together with the ‘objective’ and the ‘expected result’. After each module a theoretical examination is performed. The theoretical education and training programme consist of 3 theory modules A, B and C (for IPW only) The candidates also have to undergo an additional module ‘S’ depending on the welding process of their choice as offered at the ATB and may also select an optional module ‘P’ for base material other than carbon steel & low alloy steel, which are the normal materials used for welding training. Module P: There are also 2 optional supplementary modules to provide special requirements for materials other than Carbon Steel included compulsorily. PSS: Supplementary theoretical education for welding of Stainless Steel material. PAL: Supplementary theoretical education for welding of Aluminium material.
There are six standard modules in the IW curriculum starting from Module 1 and up to Module 6 for each processThe practical training will bring the students to the comprehensive skill, required for practical work in industry. There are 6 practical training and tests modules or processes covering the various welding processes and materials which are listed to the requirements of ISO: 9606 standards for approval testing of welders.
1 | Process 111 | (MMAW) | :MMA welding for Ferritic & Stainless Steel, |
2 | Process 135,136,138 | (GMAW) | :MAG welding for Ferritic & Stainless Steel, |
3 | Process 131 | (GMAW) | :MIG welding of Aluminium (If available at an ATB) |
4 | Process 141 | (GTAW) | :TIG welding of Ferritic & Stainless Steel, |
5 | Process 311 | (OFW) | :Gas welding of Steel (not being offered presently) |
ATB may require the candidates to attend a special course in case a candidate does not have prior experience or the knowledge prescribed in metal working industry. The areas that may be covered in ‘Module 0’ are:
Industrial Awareness & General Safety Rules, Use of Hand Tools & Power tools, Fitting & Assembling, Oxy Fuel Cutting & Heating, safety precautions in handling and using gas cylinders, Essential First Aid & Elementary Fire Fighting, Introduction to simple engineering sketches, Good Workplace practice i.e. to perform general duties to maintain workplace, equipment and tool cleanliness & follow safe practices in the performance of daily duties.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR MODULE-1 (ENTRY LEVEL)• For entry to the Module 1, appropriate health, physical and mental capability is assumed.
• Minimum age requirements prescribed in the State and Indian Central Labour Laws applicable in the state in which the ATB is located whichever is more stringent.
• Must have some background experience/knowledge in industry. Basic skill in metal working is required as a pre-qualification. Otherwise a prescribed Basic Training as detailed above is recommended.
• Must have completed Secondary Education (Class X) from a State or Central Board, or equivalent with ability to comprehend written/oral instructions in English.
• Must possess appropriate health, physical and mental capability i.e. no physical or mental disability that precludes safe operation of welding equipment or interferes with full performance of duties in industry.
