World Class Training in Maintenance Welding
We are passionate about using our expertise and decades of industry experience to provide tangible learning outcomes for everyone involved with maintenance welding. The simple fact is that all accredited VET training (ie Trade Certificate) is based on fabrication - making new structures. There is nothing for maintenance welding and how to achieve an effective repair. This same problem extends to standards such as AS1554 or AWSD1.1 - they are risk management frameworks for manufacturing. They are not suitable for managing the risks involved in maintenance welding and do not provide adequate technical guidance on how to achieve effective repairs.
That's why we have developed a range of specialised training courses and the Maintenance Welder Competency microcredential.
The timeline below shows what we've managed to accomplish in the Vocational Education and Training system by creating a world first accredited unit for maintenance welding. Plus, we've also had the Maintenance Welder Competency microcredential formally mapped and recognised as providing the practical assessment requirements towards a skillset based on MEM05069. This creates a development pathway for all welding tradespersons. To support this we have developed a comprehensive accredited VET training resource package for the Maintenance Welding Skillset. This includes a 250 page Learner Guide for MEM05069 Performance Advanced Weld Repair and Maintenance.
We are proud of our contribution to creating a lasting legacy so far, but this is just the start of more great things to come.
TRAINING COURSES
Explore our Training Courses in the sections below. All training courses are available for in-person training or via video meeting. Many of the courses are also available via self paced eLearning.
Hot Works Safety Management Training
Hot Works Management Safety systems are essential on every mine site.
These courses enable you to meet WHS competency requirements for managers and supervisors, and comply with state base requirements such as
RS22 and RS11 (QLD)
TRG Hot Work compliance (NSW)
WHS Supervisor competency requirements
There are 2 courses available (see below for links)
Risk Owners (which provides a high level overview of the various hot work hazards and the critical controls that need to be provided by the hot works safety management system)
Supervisors (Technical training to ensure that supervisors are able to identify hot work related hazards and ensure effective controls are in place and apply the hot work safety management system).

Hot Works Safety Management for Supervisors
Maintenance Welding - Technical
Engineers
Technical training that covers topics including
Understanding Steel types
Welding Metallurgy
Fatigue cracking - causes, interpretation and prevention
How to achieve effective repairs
Quality control for maintenance welding
Use and application of welding standards, including WPS's, Welder qualifications, Supervision, and inspection and testing/
Technical risk management relating to welding
This training counts towards CPD
Maintenance Welding Management
Customised training delivers the core knowledge and understanding that each role in the maintenance team needs for maintenance welding management.
Inspectors
Asset managers
Planners
Supervisors
This training can be generic, or customised to your asset management framework
Maintenance Welding Supervision
This course is for Welding Supervisors who want to take their career to the next level and become a maintenance welding expert!
This training course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and understanding of principles to apply so you can ensure that repairs are effective.
Learn about the technical risks and their controls, fatigue cracking causes and prevention, and the methodologies to use for repairs structural cracking, wear and corrosion.
Welders and Boilermakers
Learn the advanced theory from the Maintenance Welding Competency microcredential.
You can select individual modules or bundle them together to save money.
If you complete all modules, it will provide RPL for the MWC training component if you want to get your MWC certificate in future.
Metallurgy and Welding
Steel Identification
Learn how to identify steel types based on grinding spark appearance and hardness. Specifically, you will learn how to identify the carbon content, alloy content and heat treatment condition.
This is essential knowledge to be able to select the right working temperature and consumable strength for the steel type when welding.
Welding Metallurgy
A range of short courses that can be completed individually or bundled, including
Understanding weldability
Hydrogen cracking - causes and prevention
Residual stress control methods
Welding process selection
Welding parameters
Working temperature range
