City and Guilds Level 1 MIG Compliant Welding
There are many different skills and techniques within the scope of hot working of metals in the broad skill field of welding. Each one of the many and varied welding techniques calls for some specialised skills and knowledge and this five day practical, hands-on welding course at our Technology Hub in Aston, Birmingham is designed to give delegates the skills and knowledge they need to produce welded joints using Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding equipment to satisfy the requirements of City and Guilds level 1.

Career progression:
The course runs over 5 days and covers some underpinning theory to a level that will satisfy the requirements of City and Guilds Level 1. The practical elements focus on the development of welding skills typically found in industry which will enable the delegates to complete welded joints in simple welding positions using the Metal Inert Gas (MIG) equipment and processes safely and effectively. By the end of this course the delegates will be able to complete welded joints in simple welding positions using the Metal Inert Gas (MIG) equipment and processes safely and effectively.
