International Welding Diploma Program Offered at East African Institute of Welding

EA Institute of Welding (EAIW) offers a course for welders at all levels of skill. Untrained, inexperienced trainees, with no previous level of education, but with appropriate health, physical and mental capability, may enter the programme. Trainees can however, enter at higher levels of this qualification providing the candidate passes the relevant theoretical examination and successfully demonstrates the required practical skills at lower levels.

If a trainee can demonstrate skills at an intermediate or high level it is possible to by-pass the lower practical modules completely. Welding Courses are presented at three theoretical levels of training. Each level is associated with a practical qualification level.

EAIW is therefore able to offer customised training programmes for individuals with specific requirements.

Course Duration: This depends on the capabilities of each individual,student, but typically 12 weeks.

Training Evaluation: Trainees must demonstrate the required level of skill in accordance with ASME Section IX or ISO 9606 and pass the required theoretical examination.

The graduating welder receives IIW Diploma and Code Certification to ASME IX and ISO 9606.

Upon completion of the International Welding Diploma course at EA Institute of Welding trainees will be able to:

• Produce basic fillet, plate, and pipe welds depending on the level of qualification.
• Have a basic understanding of the theory of welding

This International Welding Diploma course is presented in three modules, all including both a theoretical and practical component: International Fillet Welder, International Plate Welder, and International Pipe Welder.

Training is carried out using carbon steel materials and consumables. Trainees can, at special request, specialise in alloy steels, stainless steels, or aluminum.

The curriculum includes:

• manual metal arc welding (MMA),
• metal inert and metal active gas welding (MIG/ MAG),
• tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) and
• flux core arc welding (FCAW).
  

The East African Institute of Welding is a technical welding institute in Kenya dedicated to promoting welding excellence in East Africa.  Established in 2017,the welding institute  is based at the outskirts of Nairobi along the Eastern Bypass and offers the first International Certification In Welding In Kenya and East Africa.
