This class provides instruction on welding safety, machine setup and settings, basic welding practices (tack, t-joint and butt-joint or v-groove) and troubleshooting.

Please note: this training has the prerequisite of the Metal Shop Training and therefore attendees will need to be approved by Generator to ensure they've previously taken the required training.
