The purpose of Welding Skill Training at the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology is
to teach the welding techniques and manipulative skills required for each major welding
process. Welding technique is stressed above welding theory - as the students must be able
to meet the welding performance demands of industry. Consequently, a minimum amount of
course time (10% to 20%) is spent on book and classroom study. The remaining time is used
for supervised welding practice.
Students may take courses to develop skill in one major process - or, in order to achieve
broad welding skills, may take courses as outlined on the Skill
Programs page.
