What will I learn?

Our City & Guilds Level 3 MIG Welding course will take your skills to the next level and gain a formal industry standard qualification.

The level 3 award qualification can be completed individually on plate or pipe, as well as bespoke requirements on different processes.

Suitable for those who have previously completed a Level 2 qualification or undertake welding in their jobs with previous welding experience, this course will cover

  • Producing a butt weld in the horizontal and overhead positions
  • Producing a tee fillet weld in the horizontal position
  • Producing a tee fillet weld in the overhead position
  • Producing an outside corner weld in the overhead position
  • Factors that influence weld quality and Health and Safety and process requirements relevant to welding

    The City and Guilds Level 3 course takes the skills from the level 1 course, welding in the horizontal position and the level 2, in the vertical position and advances to full positional welding overhead.
    The level 3 plate qualification allows advancement to specialist pipe welding.
