Level 2
C&G 2850-26 L2 Diploma in Engineering – Fabrication and Welding
COURSE OVERVIEW
This Practical based course with underpinning theory, is designed to build on, and advance the skills gained on the Level 1 course, to further develop the students’; welding and fabrication skills, preparing them for work within the industry.
The majority of the welding (TIG, MIG and MMA) will be produced “positionally” i.e. vertically and overhead, and will be carried out on a variety of material types and thicknesses, including aluminium and stainless steel.
You will be trained to carry out destructive testing on all welds, interpreting the results and producing written reports, all to industry standard. There will be a strong emphasis on weld quality and presentation, with students expected to understand and identify weld faults, and how to avoid or rectify them.
You will learn how to choose the correct materials, welding process, consumables, and parameters, for a variety of different fabrications, and be introduced to more complex technical drawings to work from when producing sheet metal, and structural fabrications.
Students will produce Mild steel fabrications utilising Thermal cutting processes.
Although this is a practical based course, students are expected to produce written reports of their projects and advanced theory lessons underpin the practical training taking place.
FURTHER INFORMATION
Previous completion of a Laser Level 1 Fabrication & Welding qualification or equivalent is required. You should also have 4 x GCSEs at grade 3 or higher to include Maths, English and a Science based subject.
Progression from Level 2, Students can progress straight on to the Level 3, or or use the skills acquired to increase your employability enabling you to pursue an apprenticeship.
This programme is classified as a unitised programme, this means that each unit is assessed individually. Your tutor will work with you on each unit to ensure that the work that you are completing meet the standards set by the awarding body, if it is you will be signed off for that unit and you will move on to the next one.
At the end of the year, you will be expected to show a level of practical and theoretical competence, which will be demonstrated by the completion of practical welding tasks, sheet metal assemblies, and both online and written exams.
