JOB ASSISTANCE and FREE ACCOMODATION
Our Aluminium Welding Training course is designed to develop the technical knowledge, practical skills, and safety awareness required to produce quality aluminium welds in professional workshop and industrial environments. Learners are introduced to the properties and behaviour of aluminium, correct welding equipment and consumables, material preparation, welding techniques, heat control, and common welding defects. The course includes practical training to help learners develop proper torch control, electrode and filler selection, accurate weld preparation, and the ability to produce clean and consistent welds on different aluminium materials and joints. Training also emphasises safe working practices, correct PPE, equipment handling, and quality inspection, helping learners build practical skills that can be applied in fabrication, manufacturing, construction, engineering, and industrial work environments.
Theory Training – 20%: The theory component combines classroom-based learning with structured lessons, discussions, and group activities. Learners develop a strong foundation in aluminium welding principles, material properties, equipment, welding techniques, safety procedures, and correct workshop practices.
Practical Training – 80%: The practical component provides hands-on workshop experience focused on real-world aluminium welding techniques. Learners apply their theoretical knowledge while practising equipment setup, material preparation, welding techniques, heat control, and producing quality welds under professional supervision.
Competency Assessment: Learners undergo a competency assessment conducted by qualified assessors and moderators. The assessment evaluates their theoretical knowledge, practical welding skills, safety awareness, equipment handling, and ability to perform aluminium welding tasks correctly, safely, and competently.
Introduction to Aluminium Welding: Understanding the properties and behaviour of aluminium during welding, the key differences between aluminium and steel welding, different aluminium grades and their applications, and how material selection influences welding techniques.
Aluminium Welding Safety: Correct use of welding PPE, workshop ventilation and fume extraction, fire prevention, emergency procedures, safe operation of welding equipment, and general workplace safety practices.
Welding Equipment, Tools & Consumables: Learners become familiar with AC/DC welding machines, TIG and MIG aluminium welding equipment, shielding gases, filler materials, torches, nozzles, cables, and other essential accessories. Training also covers correct equipment setup, preparation, adjustment, and safe handling.
TIG Aluminium Welding (GTAW): Training covers setting up the TIG welding machine, adjusting controls, selecting suitable tungsten electrodes, controlling heat, welding thin aluminium sheets, producing consistent weld beads and joints, and applying techniques to reduce porosity and prevent cracking. Learners also learn the importance of proper aluminium preparation and handling before welding.
MIG Aluminium Welding (GMAW): Learners develop practical MIG welding skills, including correct machine setup and settings, suitable wire selection, test welds, techniques for welding different aluminium thicknesses, identifying common MIG defects, troubleshooting welding problems, and adjusting techniques to achieve consistent weld quality.
Practical Aluminium Welding: Learners put their knowledge into practice through supervised hands-on welding exercises using realistic industrial workpieces. Practical training includes different welding positions, joints, and techniques, together with inspecting completed welds, identifying defects, and improving overall weld quality.
Develop Practical Welding Skills: Our Aluminium Welding Training combines classroom learning with hands-on workshop experience to help learners develop the technical skills, safety awareness, and practical confidence required to work with aluminium in fabrication, manufacturing, engineering, construction, and industrial environments.

Aluminium Windows and Doors Welding Training
Our Aluminium Windows and Doors Welding Training course is
designed to provide learners with practical, industry-focused skills for
working with aluminium window and door systems. The course covers the complete
process, from measuring and preparing materials to fabrication, assembly,
installation, repairs, and maintenance.
Introduction to Aluminium Systems: Understanding different types of aluminium windows and doors, common aluminium profiles, glazing beads, accessories, and the key components used in complete aluminium window and door systems.
Tools, Equipment & Measuring: Learning to correctly use tape measures, squares, levels, drills, riveters, saws, and cutters. Training covers accurate measuring and marking techniques for proper fitting, as well as safe handling and operation of tools and equipment.
Cutting & Fabrication: Measuring and cutting aluminium profiles accurately to the required dimensions, using mitre saws and cutting tables, preparing profile ends, and ensuring components are correctly prepared for assembly.
Frame Assembly: Joining and securing frame corners, installing mullions and transoms where required, checking alignment and measurements, and preparing completed frames for glazing and further installation.
Glass & Glazing: Understanding single, double, and safety glazing systems, selecting suitable glazing materials, installing rubber seals and glazing beads, and learning safe techniques for handling, positioning, and fitting glass into aluminium frames.
Hardware Installation: Installing and fitting locks, handles, rollers, hinges, stays, guides, and other essential accessories. Learners also practise adjusting and aligning hardware to ensure windows and doors open, close, slide, and lock smoothly.
On-Site Installation: Preparing openings and surfaces before installation, positioning and securely fixing aluminium frames into walls, ensuring correct alignment and level, applying suitable sealing and waterproofing methods, and carrying out final quality checks and finishing work.
Maintenance & Repairs: Identifying and resolving common problems with aluminium windows and doors, including replacing damaged glass, repairing or replacing rollers and locks, adjusting misaligned windows and doors, and correcting issues that affect smooth and reliable operation.
