Welding Training
-
While boilermakers primarily gain training through apprenticeship programs, a degree and certification in welding allows an easier transition into such training programs. Welding training, which can be obtained through vocational and technical programs, offers training in arc and gas welding, the reading of blueprints, computer design and metallurgy. The possession of a welding degree or certification greatly increases the opportunities for advanced boiler training. Boiler-related apprenticeships generally consist of classroom and hands-on training.
Benefits of HVAC Education
-
A background in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) services is an excellent supplement to precision welding and boiler skills. Through an understanding of the basics of temperature regulation and control, as well as the scientific and mathematical functions at work, those in the precision welding and boiler field are better able to not only service, but understand the processes performed by the machinery.
