How you'll learn
Training is 100 % online on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and a dedicated technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it easy to combine with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is WeldEye, ESAB WeldCloud, advanced Excel, Fusion 360, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures on TIG welding test pieces in aluminium and steel, dye penetrant testing on repaired parts, and repair of cast-iron housings. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final integrative project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Analyse the feasibility of repairing parts without spares by TIG welding.
Prepare parts, joints and filler materials for welding.
Weld steels and cast irons while controlling heat input.
Weld aluminium and magnesium using alternating current and appropriate shielding.
Solve typical repairs on housings, cylinder heads and brackets.
