Learning of welding technology
If you just want to be a structural welder (that is, get a welding operation certificate), you can learn it in 1 week, but if you want to be a skilled welder and adapt to various workpieces and welding positions, I am afraid it will take at least 2-3 years of practice.
Training of high-pressure welders
If you want to be a high-pressure welder (that is, obtain the welding certificate of boiler, pressure vessel and pressure pipeline), you should work harder. Generally speaking, this kind of welder can only obtain the certificate after training and examination on the basis of the above two years' practical experience, but if you want to do this job well, you will make rapid progress after 1-2 years' training.
Training expenses for high-pressure welders
Of course, high-pressure welders can also be directly tested, but the training period is long, at least 3 months. Of course, the cost is also high, but the examination unit generally does not necessarily accept such apprentices.
