Industrial piping welder vocational training + GIES 1 certification

The Level 3 Industrial Piping Welder vocational qualification is involved in the production of unit and/or small series, boilerwork and piping assemblies for various business sectors involving metalworking in piping and/or industrial boilerwork.

The aims of the course are:

• To master the process of assembling pipes and pipe fittings by welding using the Coated Electrode Arc (CEA) and Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) processes, in compliance with defined instructions and quality criteria
• To acquire the skills associated with the different types of welding: Flat welding with the coated electrode arc and Tungsten Inert Gas processes of pipe assemblies / Welding in all positions with the coated electrode arc and Tungsten Inert Gas processes of pipe assemblies
• Obtain the GIES 1 Certificate

The vocational qualification Industrial Pipe Welder is made up of two standard activities. Each type of activity corresponds to a certificate of professional competence (CCP):

BC01 - Welding flat piping assemblies using the Coated Electrode and Inert Gas Tungsten Arc process

- Welding flat piping elements using the TIG single-pass and multi-pass process
-. Welding flat piping components using the TIG and multi-pass arc-coated electrode processes
- Checking the quality of welds in accordance with current specifications
- Repairing defective flat welds on piping components

BC02 -. Welding pipe assemblies in all positions using the Coated Arc Electrode and Inert Gas Tungsten processes

- Welding pipe assemblies in all positions using the TIG single and multipass processes
- Welding pipe assemblies in all positions using the TIG and Coated Arc Electrode multipass processes
- Repairing defective welds in all positions on pipe assemblies

• All audiences

The job requires very good mental and physical conditions and the ability to be mobile. Welders work both in the workshop and on site, generally standing up, sometimes in difficult positions or using uncomfortable or even painful postures. Added to these conditions are the dangers associated with the environment, working at height or in excavations. They may have to travel a lot, and depending on how the company is organised, they may work regular day shifts or 2 x 8 or even 3 x 8 shifts. Applicants will therefore be offered specific entry tests (to check their physical and visual abilities).
