What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populatedfrom NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certificate)

Safety equipment and lockout/tagout procedures — apply independently and verify compliance before beginning welding operations on a production line.
Shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding equipment — set up, adjust, and operate with reduced oversight across routine fabrication assignments.
Weld joints in flat, vertical, and overhead positions — complete to specification on standard structural or sheet-metal components with occasional quality checks.
Straightedges, squares, and weld inspection gauges — use routinely to confirm workpiece conformance to dimensional tolerances on familiar job types.
Torches, torch tips, and filler materials — select and install independently by reading welding procedure specifications for common metal types and thicknesses.
Equipment malfunctions and material defects — diagnose recurring issues, document findings, and notify supervisors with clear written or verbal descriptions.
Job traveler tags and piece-mark systems — complete accurately and consistently to support production tracking on multi-piece fabrication orders.
Welding method selection for common carbon and stainless steel applications — apply working knowledge of geometry and basic metallurgy with limited supervisor input.
Weld quality and bead appearance — monitor in-process using visual inspection and basic destructive test results to catch non-conformances early.
Production schedules and job priorities — interpret and follow using shop floor work orders and, when available, ERP system task lists.
