Essentials of Welding 2 is a 5 week-long course designed for students who already possess a solid foundation in welding and are ready to further advance their skills and knowledge. This course focuses on advanced GMAW (MIG Welding) processes, including spray transfer, pulse welding, and dual-shield FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding). Students will gain hands-on experience with these processes in both flat and vertical positions, learn specialized techniques for vertical welding applications, and complete multiple groove weld test plates. A prior background in welding or successful completion of Essentials of Welding 1 is required before enrolling in this course.
