Universal, Transferable Qualifications

 
Welding craftsmen are highly thought of members of the construction and fabrication team and pay for a skilled person will often reflect the importance of the role. Major projects such as pipelines, bridges or oil rigs cannot be put at risk through bad workmanship. Welding is a transferable skill not confined to one country. Skills and qualifications obtained in the UK are valid in Europe and Worldwide. If you are good with your hands and enjoy working with tools, you are likely to be able to respond to welder training - Contact Carol Wilson for a copy of the fact sheet 'Welding as a Career' at the AWTE on 01223 891162 ex. 2454
