Welding course receives international recognition

A Speciality Welds product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Apr 1, 2008

Speciality Welds can now offer diver training schools a fully accredited self-teach programme, through its accreditation under EAL

Speciality Welds' WeldCraft-Pro underwater welder training course is now fully accredited through the EAL/SEMTA Awards.

This training course is based on an 80-hour syllabus, split over two phases (dry and wet).

The course is open to nonwelders and welders alike and follows the International Institute of Welding (IIW) syllabus 570-01 for fillet welder - plate.

The company can now offer diver training schools a fully accredited self-teach programme, through its accreditation under EAL (part of SEMTA) - Sector Skills Council for Science, Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies.

The service allows schools to deliver a recognised welding programme, using the company's approved centre status to issue internationally welding certification.

David Keats the author of the course has been involved with the world of underwater welding for over 25 years and is both an accomplished author and an accepted industry expert in this field.

David says; "The first underwater welding course I ran was back in 1990 and was cutting edge, but had only a very limited market in those days".

"However, wet welding has seen an explosion in demand since these early days and we have continued to develop and provide specialist sub-sea welding services to the diving industry, ever since".

As accredited UKAS/SAFed welding surveyors, Speciality Welds can also offer insurance authority approved welding certificates for both above and below the waterline.
