Course Summary
Course Category: Employment / Lifelong Learning
This intensive, hands-on module is designed to master the Manual Metal Arc (MMA) welding process, specifically focused on structural carbon steel. You will develop the technical precision required to execute multi-run fillet welds on 6mm plates, learning to manage heat input, slag removal, and bead placement for maximum structural integrity. The curriculum emphasizes the "stacking" of weld runs to ensure deep penetration and a professional finish that meets rigorous quality standards.

The Student - Career Interests
This course is typically suited for people with the following Career Interests:
Realist
Realists are usually interested in 'things' - such as buildings, mechanics, equipment, tools, electronics etc. Their primary focus is dealing with these - as in building, fixing, operating or designing them. Involvement in these areas leads to high manual skills, or a fine aptitude for practical design - as found in the various forms of engineering.
Realists like to find practical solutions to problems using tools, technology and skilled work. Realists usually prefer to be active in their work environment, often do most of their work alone, and enjoy taking decisive action with a minimum amount of discussion and paperwork.
