Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on welder qualification programmes in good years and paid for in bad ones. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the practice within engineering and maintenance work that were visible long before the incident. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this part of engineering and maintenance work, not for observers of it. It concentrates on the parts of welder qualification programmes that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the engineering and maintenance work discipline and prepares them for it. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this aspect of engineering and maintenance work to standardise and which to leave flexible. Moving welder qualification programmes from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants leave with a plan for this part of engineering and maintenance work sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
