welding skills training

Through our partnership with the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology, EWI offers standard and customized welder training programs. Training provided by EWI is typically designed for groups of four or more persons. If you require training for fewer people, we encourage you to check the Hobart calendar of upcoming courses.

The following courses are offered:

• Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)
  Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to perform structural welding related to buildings and bridges and production work related to heavy equipment manufacturing.
  
  
• Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)
  Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to perform production and maintenance welding on mild steel including high volume fabrication, automotive assembly and repair.
  
  
• Gas Metal Arc Welding Advanced (GMAWA)
  Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to perform structural welding related to buildings and bridges - and production welding on light, medium and heavy assemblies.
  
  
• Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)
  Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to perform production and maintenance welding on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum used in the aircraft and missile industry.
  
  
• Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Titanium (GTAW-TI)
  Upon completion of the course, the student should have the ability to weld on thin stainless steel and titanium for use in aircraft, missiles, medical areas, and many other applications.
  
  
• Oxyacetylene Welding and Cutting (OAW)
  Perform the industrial requirements of oxyacetylene welding and flame cutting that are essential for maintenance welding and cutting.
  
  
• Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
  Upon completion, the student should be able to perform production welding, millwright work and general maintenance welding.
  
  
• Shielded Metal Arc Welding Advanced (SMAWA)
  Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to perform bridge code welds and other related structural work, as well as preparation for pipe welding.
  
  
• Structural Welding Program
  EWI offers the Structural Welding Program for individuals seeking to learn or upgrade their welding skills. This program covers common welding processes found in industry.
  
  
• Weldability of Metals, Ferrous & Nonferrous
  This course will provide the non-metallurgist with basic knowledge of various metals and their weldability.
  
  Anyone involved with welding will benefit from the better understanding of welding the different metals. Students will learn metal properties, heat input, preheating, postheating, selecting filler metals, plus many more topics.
  
  
• Welding Technology & Blueprint Reading (WT&BR)
  This course is important to the development of knowledge required by industry for employment of welders.
