More about the course

Would you like to become a qualified welder? Do you want to take your experience in the industry further? If you would like to start a career as a welder, this Level 2 apprenticeship is for you.

Welders join metals in a wide range of industries, such as aerospace, construction, defence, mining, marine and structural engineering. Welding contributes to the UK economy through the creation and repair of engineered goods and assets. Welders may be employed in any size of business from small companies to large multi-nationals. They work in a range of settings including fabrication shops, assembly yards, construction and building sites, factories and operational facilities requiring maintenance and upgrade. They can be employed by supply chain companies, the direct owner, or operators.

Welders are responsible for the production of welds using manual and mechanised arc welding processes to sector standards. They will weld using a minimum of two weld process and material combinations, with at least one process being manual welding.

On this apprenticeship, you’ll gain workplace-specific knowledge, skills and behaviours relevant to the welding industry, alongside delivery at Carlisle College to teach you the fundamental knowledge and skills you’ll need within the workplace.

If you’re looking to get a head start in a skilled industry, sign up to the Welder apprenticeship today.
