National Certificate in Welding (Level 4)

This qualification is for professional welders. It builds on the knowledge and skills gained in introductory welding qualifications such as the National Certificate in Welding (Level 3) [Ref: 1615]. Successful candidates have demonstrated welding skills to industry standards and codes in a number of practical welding applications of steel, aluminium, stainless steel, and pipe welding.

The compulsory standard covers the knowledge and skills relevant to calculating the quantities of welding consumables required for a particular welding job.

The standards in the Elective section cover knowledge and skills relevant to a wide range of welding positions and materials. This allows candidates to select standards that correspond to the type of welding practised in their workplace.

This qualification leads to the Engineering Fabrication strand of the National Certificate in Mechanical Engineering (Level 5) with strands in Engineering Fabrication, Fire Protection, General and Maintenance Engineering, Mechanical Services, and Precision Engineering [Ref: 1545].
