AS 1796 CERTIFICATE 10

WELD AUSTRALIA LAUNCHES ONLINE COURSES FOR WELDING SUPERVISOR AS 2214 & AS 1796 CERTIFICATE 10

Weld Australia recently launched a new online training course associated in line with AS 2214 Certification of welding supervisors - Structural steel welding and AS 1796 Certification of welders and welding supervisors - Certificate 10.

The course proved to be extremely popular, and sold out in record time. Luckily, we’ve got another course starting in July. So, if you missed out the first time around, make sure you enrol now.

The new online format makes training more accessible, particularly for people in remote and regional areas, who are unable to attend face-to-face courses.

Importantly, Weld Australia’s online training includes live lectures, which have a mandatory 70% attendance rate requirement. Our combination of pre-recorded, self-paced learning and mandatory live lectures ensures that students still have the opportunity to interact with their peers and teacher in real-time. The live lectures provide the perfect opportunity for students to clarify any course materials or problems and ask questions.

VIRTUAL CERTIFICATE 10 COURSE DELIVERED ON BEHALF OF TMEC

With COVID-19 restrictions (including state border closures) in place, it looked as though the Tasmanian Minerals, Manufacturing and Energy Council was going to have to cancel their scheduled Welding Supervisor - AS 1796 Certificate 10 course.

With a number of people booked in to complete the course, it seemed as though it would be a disappointing result.

Luckily, Weld Australia was able to facilitate the entire course remotely, from our training studio in Wollongong.

The courses included a mixture of pre-recorded material, live online lectures, and a variety of other learning resources. There was also pre- and postlecture ‘homework’, like quizzes and review questions, all of which were facilitated via Weld Australia’s Moodle online learning platform.

All course entry requirements, content and learning outcomes were exactly the same as those of the face-to-face course format.

WELD AUSTRALIA TRAINING COURSES STARTING SOON

Several of Weld Australia’s most popular training courses are kicking off again soon, including: • International Welding Inspector Basic (IIW IWI-B) • International Welding Specialist (IIW IWS) • International Welding Technologist (IIW IWT) • International Welding Engineer (IIW IWE) • Welding Supervisor - AS 1796 Certificate 10 • Welding Supervisor - AS 2214

All of these courses are filling fast. So, if you’re looking to kick-start your career in 2021, now is the time to enrol.

ABOUT THE IIW IWI-B QUALIFICATION

An IWI-B qualification offers significant rewards. In many ways, becoming a Welding Inspector is more than just a rewarding career—it involves great responsibility and requires remarkable skills to help maintain the highest levels of weld quality.

This certification can lead to a career that is both engaging and promising. If what you want is a stable career in which you will thrive and find fulfillment, then the IWI-B qualification may be for you.

Plus, IWI B qualification demonstrates to employers that you are dedicated to continually learning and growing in your field.

ABOUT THE WELDING SUPERVISOR QUALIFICATION

A Welding Supervisor qualification enables you to improve your company’s bottom line. Welding Supervisors often make valuable contributions to four of the most important metrics in welding operations: quality, cost, productivity and safety.

Not surprisingly then, this qualification can boost your earning potential and job stability.

Both AS 2214 and AS 1796 Certificate 10 meet the requirements outlined in AS/NZS 1554.1 to supervise the welding of structural steel. Similarly, AS 1796 Certificate 10 meets the requirement of AS 1210 for pressure vessels.

NEW SOUTH WALES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION PILOT ADVANCED MANUFACTURING OUTREACH PROGRAM

Weld Australia is committed to ensuring that Australia develops and maintains a world-class, modern welding workforce. We’re working on programs that improve STEM skills and give high school students the chance to use emerging technologies.

That’s why we proposed the Advanced Manufacturing School Outreach Program to the New South Wales (NSW) State Government. Late last year, their Department of Education and Training completed a pilot with Weld Australia that included the training of teachers and the introduction of the latest augmented reality welding simulators. The pilot involved 16 schools across NSW, one of which was Woolgoolga High School.

Weld Australia recently visited Woolgoolga High School and saw the simulators in action. Students were really enthusiastic and were fully engaged with the technology, working away to improve their scores and beat their mates. The simulators allow students to be at the centre of the process, work at their own pace and operate in a completely safe environment. The teachers were really positive and pleased with the enthusiasm shown by students.

SOUTH METRO TAFE ‘TRAIN THE TRAINER’ COURSES DELIVERED

South Metropolitan TAFE in Western Australia is set to introduce augmented reality into their welding curriculum. 16 Soldamatic simulators have just been delivered to the TAFE, with Weld Australia rolling out training to their teachers, in both ISO 9606 and the use of the simulators, over the last few weeks. The training was enjoyed by South Metropolitan TAFE’s teachers—they all seem to be looking forward to getting students onto the simulators.

Augmented reality training systems are student-focused, allowing individuals to progress at their own pace. Welding apprentices learn and understand welding procedures and techniques through a more interactive training method, gaining hands on experience in a controlled, safe environment. Augmented reality transforms training from boring theory and text books into high-quality interactive experiences that capture the imagination.

There are two fusion welding courses that adhere to ISO 9606 Qualification test of welders on Training.gov.au. This is the authoritative source of nationally recognised training and Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). These two courses were developed in Victoria in 2018 and use augmented reality welding simulators as a key component of the training.

TRANSITION WORKERS

To be awarded a certificate for the Course in Fusion Welding to AS/NZS ISO 9606 for Transition Workers, you must successfully complete seven units of competency (four core and three elective). Core units: • Simulate fusion welding processes using augmented reality equipment • Identify welding processes, safe welding practices and use of hand and power tools • Interpret and apply AS/NZS ISO 9606 for fusion welding processes • Perform fusion welding procedures to meet the procedures of

ISO 9606-1 (Steels – carbon steels)

EXPERIENCED WELDERS

To be awarded a Statement of Attainment for the Course in Fusion Welding to AS/NZS ISO 9606 for Experienced Welders, you must successfully complete three units of competency (one core and two elective). The core unit is: Interpret and apply AS/NZS ISO 9606 for fusion welding processes.
